I think people are applying last gen to this gen way more then they should. I think ps3 was better last gen without things like halo, gears, minecraft (only exclusives that ever mattered to me) and in-game party chat. This year PS4 is catching up on all those missing features like the chat. The PS4 will be much much easier to design for meaning better games a lot faster. And as far as online service went, I played both online A LOT, and I didn't notice anymore problems and lag on one than the other, so people stating Live was a so much better service are full of BS. ( minus the Anonymous PSN hacking thing awhile ago) Also as far as I can tell they will both be released about the same time so no head start by Microsoft. (in the end lead to massive hardware failure by them) As far as the price goes, it is really nice of them to force another product (kinect) onto you for an additional $100. Maybe they should throw a couple extra controllers on too, since you might wan them eventually, raise the price to like $550. Good sales idea. But it seems the only bad things people can throw on the PS4 are things that happened to the PS3, because so far Sony hasn't completely screwed up the Ps4 yet and there is nothing notably bad about it like the Xbone.
It took a long time before developers could figure out how to build for the ps3. With the PS4 developers helped shape the software and specs for easy porting and quick development.
