Does the PS4 have a weakness?

Last gen the Wii also got of to a blazing start but by year 4 it was trending way down. This is because it was much weaker and therefore when it got the big 3rd party games they were inferior for many reasons(graphically, online support, ect) my question is does the PS4 have a flaw that will eventually bring it back to the pack or will the train just keep rolling? 

Honestly to me the biggest flaws are no backwards compatibility (which WiiU has but the main competitor XB1 does not have either) and lack of 3d support. Lack of compat won't matter as much in year 3 because the PS4 library will be filling and I assume 3d support is coming. Thoughts?

No. The PS4 is cheaper than xbone and also has stronger hardware, it never is seen before in the industry. Backwards compatibility will be bigger than ever with PS Now. They'll earn a lot with those subscriptions not only on PS systems but also TVs, smartphones and tablets.

I agree this is the second time the stronger hardware was the cheaper console. N64 was cheaper (was 99 bucks by 1999) and more powerful. But we all know the choice to use cartridges turned out to be possibly the biggest mistake in the history of the industry(if XB1 would have launch online only that might have taken the cake though)

One thing though: N64 came out a year and a half later than the PS1 on the market so it had to be stronger.
