this is better, and that is weird, maybe because of the PS4 specs? i mean seeing it will obviously cost more and the industry is going to be in the position it was with Wii/PS3/360 ... mm i don't know but i'm ok with this ^^ - isn't going to damage sony

It's probably down to a couple of reasons:

1) They've continued to not learn any lessons from the PSP compared to the DS, the PS3 compared to the Wii and the Vita compared to the 3DS. They've gone overboard with the specs YET AGAIN and will be releasing a console that's either going to be much more expensive than the competing consoles or, if not, will be sold at a considerable loss. They could end up with another Vita on their hands.

2) The eye candy qualty gap is nowhere near the same as the leap from SD to HD.

 

Raising the RAM from 4GB to 8GB of GDDR5 is a mistake. There's no way that the PS4 is going to retail for less than $400 or £350 unless they're going to make a huge loss on each console sold. If Nintendo cut the price of the Wii U by 50 dollars/pounds in November and have a game like a 3D Mario or X raising the Wii U bar in terms of eye candy both the PS4 and the 720 could have serious problems, although Microsoft are in the better position in that their finances are in a much better state than Sony's so can afford to lose more on each console sold.
