It really doesn't matter to me. Of course I'd be disappointed though.
All I'd really want is for it to be competitive with the next Xbox.

LOL @ people saying PS1 and PS2 weren't the most powerful....that is partly true, but both brought forth amazing technology. PS1 was the first to do 3D and use CDs. PS2 was the first to use DVDs. At launch, these consoles were beasts. I guess this is all I ask about the PS4. I want it to an amazing piece of hardware(and software) even if the next Xbox launches later and surpasses it.

"Amazing technology" =/= powerful consoles, which is the point of this thread and how people will react to that.

Yes it does. Let me use PS1 and N64 as an example...

As powerful as the N64 was, it was limited by its ancient cartridge format. PS1 was able to churn out much more impressive games such as Metal Gear, Final Fantasy VII....etc. A console is only as powerful as its weakest component.
