I actually thought it was pretty good. Dunno why you said they're releasing it a bit too early, I felt that this gen is kind of dragging on a bit but that's just me. The controller doesn't look bad (least it didn't have those awful triggers like the Dualshock 3 >.>) plus I was surprised and rather pleased they show some new IPs during the stream like Knack and The Witness along with some sequels (looking forward to the new inFamous). I heard the PS4 is much more developer friendly compared to the PS3. Don't ask me how, it's something to do with the whole thing about techs and whatnot. I'm not getting it anytime soon (maybe after a few years) but it's looking rather promising so far. :)

the ps4 conference was okay, i'll be buying one day one despite not being able to play ps3 games besides i'll be keeping my ps3 so i'll still be able to play them anyway but maybe there will be more interesting stuff at E3. 

I think 2013 is fine time to release a new console. Really don't get why people are complaining "why so soon?!" except maybe people finally recently went out and bought the thing. 

It's a bit like buying the new Ipad next summer then being upset that Apple came out with the next iteration. except unlike 1 year gap between model upgrades, it's been 7 years. 

At 400 USD, that's a fine launch price i think. it's upgraded gpu, cpu and ram, much more faster and efficient background processors. 

graphics alone aren't enough to persuade people to buy new consoles, this current gen reached a certain peak that most average joe/jane is perfectly fine with those graphics, the graphic-whores on PC will constantly want to get the max, but were pretty much near photo-realism. PS4 is just another iteration closer but the jump isn't immediately noticeable. 

I was actually fairly happy with it, the one big negative is no backwards compatibility, but i was bracing for that possiblity for quite a long time. and given that the Cell architecture turned out to be - in the long run - a dud, and the new console would be more developer friendly made of off-the-shelf pc components the likelihood of backwards compatibilty was unlikely. Now the incentive for Sony to get the PSN library backward compatible is very great indeed with it's huge library, 

As for the sharing and viewing, and the streaming of games, really all nice things, and i may actually use them with my friends. This seems like the proper approach to social gaming for the 'core' gamer out there. and given that the Vita has Party-chat, i expect PS4 will also.

So yeah, i'll hold onto my PS3 of course, with my over 100 games on it, but PS4 is a good upgrade. not much in the way of gimmicks that you are being forced to use. and at the rumored $400 dollar price point, count me in. Killzone : Shadow Fall, inFamous : Second Son, Watch_Dogs, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Destiny, and The Witness all got my attention - never mind what developers will be revealing at GDC, E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show before the release of the new console. I could say i'm excited for Final Fantasy for PS4 but given how awful Square Enix in making anything within a reasonable amount of time i'm not bothering.

i'm still curious as to what Microsoft has up it's sleeve. but given how i barely touch my 360, i can't say i'm like that geared for it. This upcoming gen i'm likely to go PS4, PC, WiiU, plus whatever handheld i have interest in playing on (most likely Vita and my Ipad)

i actually didn't watch the conference, but i've been hearing lots about the PS4. for one thing there's no backwards compatability which is disappointing, and the price certainly doesn't help. from the sound of things, it does seem a bit rushed, and i agree, why does there need to be a share button? :P there's nothing that'll make me absolutely want one anytime soon, so i'll just hold off for now

im too lazy to comment there are a few things i disagree on like the unreal engine 4 part the engine is designed to be used on a high end PC and next gen console and PS3 has enough power for atleast a few more years. anyways nice blog :)
