After reading the rants in this thread, I decided to add my two cents, even though it's probably useless to do so anyway.
It is undeniable that the PS4 specs so far look to be good. A decent upgrade from the 7th gen at least. From the trailers shown in the Sony conference (watched the whole thing), there were some interesting stuff shown. Graphically, Killzone 4 looked the best by far. Wasn't that impressed by 'Deep Down', but that's beside the point.
That said, it doesn't feel as impressive initially as previous generations consoles announcements to me. This goes just as much for WiiU and will for 720 by the way. It seems we are slowly nearing the point where it just doesn't matter anymore. Graphics are getting 'good enough', or need a supercomputer to improve substantially. As it stands, PS4 will be a direct continuation of late gen PS3 graphics, instead of showing a noticeable, obvious difference like late gen PS1 to early PS2 and late gen PS2 to early PS3. Naturally, we have to consider that the 8th generation will have no real advantage whatsoever in the sense of considerable technological advancements like DVD, hard drives, BlueRay, HD and whatever else there was new back then.
This is of course not a bad thing really, and the difference will still be obvious enough when we can compare mid/late 8th gen games to late 7th gen games. In my memory though, the jumps in previous generations were substantially larger than this one, because they always showed something really new. Therefore, 7th to 8th gen jump is definitely smaller relatively, than 5th to 6th and 6th to 7th. But nothing beats 4th to 5th anyway.

I suggest you take a look at some 'real' CGI. I said specs are good for a game console, but blockbuster movie CGI or Pixar-like animations piss all over whatever the PS4 has got to offer for the entire generation and definitely all over KNACK.
Second, regarding Wonderful 101, artstyle is artstyle. I don't find the game to look very good either, but that's wholly due to preference. Namely I recognize that the game at least shows some quite impressive graphical effects.
