Created this thread due to chatter in the next-gen mega-thread.

Wired.com posted a video of the PlayStation 4 tear-down, which can be seen here: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/11/playstation4-teardown-video/

The local bestbuy had a ps4 demo console. The new controller feels really nice compared to the ps3 version. I played about 5 minutes of Fifa 14 and it looked really good.

Polygon review of the PS4 is a thing of beauty: http://www.polygon.com/a/ps4-review/

Video: http://www.polygon.com/a/ps4-review/video_review#ooid=dqYjI3aDrSq5IEfV0z9xNu3FtSroLquJ

The reviewer rates the PS4 a 7.5/10, fwiw.

I'm buying this thing.. its just a matter of when. Hooked on too many PS only games. Infamous, Uncharted series.

Same. I've always been an XBOX guy but not really into many of the XBOX exclusives. Never been a Halo guy. Always wanted to play MLB: The Show.

The question is, why? Killzone Shadow Fall is underwhelming. Knack is a disaster. Flower is good, but you can't say it an exclusive. Here is a hands on experience with PS4. There is absolutely no reason to buy it right now. They rushed production of games to get them out soon, but at what cost? I change my mind. I think Xbox One will win the next-gen battle.

All I know is GTA V is on PS3

Killzone = don't care, Knack = dont care, Flower = dont care... never heard of either of these last 2...

Watch Dogs (not an exclusive), Assassins Creed (not an exclusive), Infamous (exclusive), UnCharted (exclusive) are the games I care about.

for me it was just a matter of WHEN ... might be next march, xmas or 2 years from now.

While the Xbone is nice, i don't care about the media center crap, or kinect. Also keep an eye on what the new M$ CEO does.. Elop the favorite has talked about walking away from xbone http://www.forbes.com/sites/netapp/2013/11/11/elop-to-kill-xbox-otoh/ just rumors at this point but still.
