Which console looks more appealing to you now? Wii U or PS4?

I just don't see much point to PS4. Sure the games are prettier. And.... So what? I didn't see anything that really justified needing to purchase a new console. All those games could run on PS3/360. They wouldn't look at pretty perhaps, but they'd work. Aside from from social media aspects (which could probably been incorporating into PS3) it's just the same games on a new system. Why?

WiiU is still not even on my radar either.

Up to MS at this point.

Sounds like you didn't watch or read a summary...

Instantly play digital games
Sleep mode
Use tablets, Vita to display maps and other things. Vita can play PS4 games on the go.
Backwards compatibility through the cloud
Records everything you play - upload while you play
Broadcast your gameplay - your friends can watch you playing live and help you out
Easier to develop for - this is a huge plus, since PS3 was notoriously hard to develop for.
8GB RAM - no more OS limitations. Expect everything you'll ever need from the OS
Try any digital game instantly (Gaikai)
etc. etc.

Couldn't watch but did read up on it.

To all of those things - so what?  Yes the hardware and OS are better but it's all about the gameplay.  And I'd think some of those things could have been done on PS3 if they really wanted too through OS update.   There's some cool features but really, not enough to justify shelling out cash for a new console.
