It had issues with "heavy graphic" games if trying to run at the full "Retina" resolution too.
There are examples in the link I posted.
The A5X didn't really seem good enough to handle the higher resolution *and* better graphics, extra effects, etc.

Also, I think Apple really screwed up with the 3 and the 4 was the *naming*.
What everyone just called the "iPad 3" was marketed as "the new iPad" (not so new once its successor came out half a year later!), while what everyone just called the "iPad 4" was marketed as "iPad with Retina Display" (even though the "new iPad" also had "Retina".)
Two very stupid names, that must surely have caused confusion among consumers.
Apple has gone back to numerical naming with the Air and the Mini, thankfully.
