Again, PS4 has stereoscopic 3D too, like PS3, in both blurays movies and games (Trine 2, Fez, Sniper Elite 3 for instance).

I have Samsung 55" HDTV. The PS4 has 3D supporting games just like PS3 did. I see no difference between playing Blu-Ray and similar on PS3 vs. PS4, except that stuff loads faster on PS4.

I like how the PS4 library works, but I understand if you personally prefer to manually categorize into folders and access stuff that way.

The PS4 has added support for themes and dynamic themes. I never valued those things on PS3 either. I don't think the PS4 has DLNA yet, which is something I did use on PS3 (but very rarely).

The PS4 is a better gaming console in every conceivable way.

All. With. Time.

It's funny because every person that is saying the PS4 is better than the PS3 is mostly stating non gaming reasons. Granted Increase in graphics, free INDIE games, and easy access to trophies, are gaming reasons (albeit small ones IMO) but it's still not enough for me to switch yet. If that's for you, then buy away. For me, they library of PS3 games is more than enough to wait another year to get the PS4. Especially since the highest rated games on it are also available for it's predecessor (and most of them, for that matter).

People are saying patience, but by the time the PS4 gets better than the PS3, it would have already undergone a price drop, which is more of enough reason why if I'm a PS3 owner, I could wait another year. PS4 owners can enjoy The Order: 1886, I'll enjoy Valkyria Chronicles, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Borderlands: The Pre-sequel, Resident Evil 5,6, Revelations, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5, a dozen great RPGs, while still enjoying GTA V, FIFA 15, Destiny and TLOU w/o having to double dip...

Next year however will be an entirely different story...

Thank god. I need big shiny butts when I load up my gaming console, not wispy light trails.

I think it really depends on what features you care about. The PS4's feature list isn't objectively worse, it's just different.

The most significant differences (in my opinion) are its ability to capture screenshots and video clips, things I often take for granted on PC. And Share Play is certainly a significant feature for many. Plus, since the PS4 is overall a more powerful system, that naturally means that it's faster in almost all the actions it does.

I love my PS4 more than I love my PS3.

The PS4 around now is heads and tales superior to the PS3 around the same timeframe. Its only been a year and some months. The only bright spot was Resistance: FOM and Uncharted which launched a year apart from one another. Sony has already launched great first party in the first year and second party.

Obviously the PS3 has the better back catalog by the simple merit of having over 8 years on the market and then there's the fact that a good portion of games for the PS4 are also available on the PS3, albeit at scaled back performance.

The PS3 is unquestionably the better media player and the simple availability of a media remote makes it a better BD player as well.

On the negative side, the PS3 is hobbled by low memory which results in sluggish response time relative to the PS4 when closing and switching apps or even just basic user inputs. Everything on the PS4 is simply more responsive.

Clearly the PS4 is a more capable piece of hardware even if it's just by the simple merit of what a 7 year difference buys in technology and hardware specs.

As much as I'd like to transition off the PS3 for general use (anything not related to PS3 games), the PS4 isn't there yet, but I give it another year or two at the most before the PS3 becomes relegated to Old Game console status and nothing more.

That's a good point, haven't thought about that... I love my PS3 remote control.

Now I really hope, Sony will support it someday on PS4. If PS Move is compatible to PS4 they have no excuse for the lack of compatibility for the remote control.
