PS4-USA
Bounty hunter
Compared to the PS3 (when it launched), I'm underwhelmed with the PS4 after 3 days of heavy use.
It's like upgrading from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5.
The new technology innovation 'wow factor' just isn't' there, but as a gaming console, it's right up there with a high end PC gaming rig (at a much lower price).
Yes, the games look spectacular (but games like COD Ghosts, are very close in comparison on HDTV's 50" or less).
Yes, the NIC card is more responsive/quicker.
Yes, the new controller is an improvement and feels even better than the DS3.
But if you compare it to the PS3 innovations launched 7 years ago (blu-ray, wireless, internet, streaming, Bluetooth, super-audio/MP3, mics, O/S support, and on and on) the PS4 doesn't feel nearly as innovative.
When the PS3 launched you could purchase a stand alone Blu-Ray player for $999 (or more), or the PS3 with Blu-Ray + all of the above mentioned features for $599/$699. That was an easy decision. The PS3 to PS4 move, isn't in the same light (at launch, maybe I'm missing something)
As a gaming console it's improved.
As a home theater component MUST HAVE it's no where close to where the PS3 was when it launched.

I do do agree with you. There is nothing "futuristic" about it. Maybe there might be some hidden features that we are not aware but nothing that would be really innovative about it. Other than better graphics, faster and stronger lol

If you made it a higher price nobody would buy it because instead they would just buy the regular ps4 price. and if you sold it for a lower price than the original price you can still get money.
