it has no gamez apart from indies and betas

I agree Sony has made bad decisions but they have made great decisions so far for the PS4 so I do feel the gaming division is in good hands at least.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
Yes, it has a small exhaust port a little over two meters wide...
The only weakness: If the Wii U somehow comes out with some sort of software that makes people say "Oh, that controller is fucking awesome! Now I see why they have a second screen!" or if there's some software for Kinect that does the same for the Xbox One. Those two consoles come packed with peripherals so every dev can count on the customer having one (for now). The PS4 comes packed with nothing.
The main weakness of the ps4 and the xbox one is they haven't really jumped as far with regard CPU performance. Both have 16x as much memory and gpu performance is getting on 10x as powerful with ps4 but both consoles have perhaps only achieved 2-3x CPU performance over 360 and PS3 perhaps less when you factor in cpu overheads like the operating system and kinect on xbone. In CPU terms the PC slaughters both consoles and perhaps steam boxes and other x86 hardware will offer big enhancements over ps4 and xbone.
So because of this the ps4 may not remain competitive for very cpu intensive games later in life. It may be the ps4 approxmately can match the PC visually but in the background AI, physics etc will be reduced.

You're exaggerating a bit but yea, the main enemy of Sony is themselves in the gaming field, or actually their leaders. But as long as Kaz is running it, it shouldn't happen.

But if that sort of software really captures the audience, it could be easily ported to the PS4 to use it with the PS4 camera or a Vita (as controller or second screen) or any other smartphone/tablet (as second screen). These peripherals are available from the start, not years later like PS Move.
If developers are confident in their groundbreaking idea, they can expect their target group to buy these peripherals for that game(s). Wii Fit and Guitar Hero / Rock Band were also great successes although they needed peripherals that weren't cheap.
The way Sony is selling and laying off so much I don't see them doing so well.
