I should have asked if people are buying a PS4 because of the graphical jump or because of the games, but right now PS4 has almost nothing for it IMO.

lol what was the point of stating the ps4 doesn't interest you?...

personally i'm hyped for killzone sf, infamous ss and drive club so far

thats a 3:1 ratio of games that i find interesting between the wii u and ps4... even though the wii u has been out for months now

I didn't say PS4 doesn't interest me, I will eventually get one, but not for the small graphical jump, or the 1 curently announced game that interests me (InFamous). I know PS4 will get better games down the road, and I'm sure more people interested in the PS4 know that too, and that's why they are interested.

Killzone is nice and all, but the few announced PS4 games are not as hyped as The Last of Us and Beyond, so if we were to judge why PS4 is hyped, it's not for software, since PS3 has better stuff coming in then ear window.

As for Wii U ATM there are more high profile exclusives announced for it, so there should be more hype, but there isn't. If anything people on this forum as equally hyped for both consoles, but the hype isn't split proportionatly for the amount of games announced. PS4, IMO, is getting hyped because of the unannounced, or not shown games which will eventually come out for it. PS3 had a lot of 3rd party support, and PS4 will get the same.

my point was only that not everyone shares your opinion on games

so to say "right now PS4 has almost nothing for it IMO." is simply your opinion

i'm more hyped for killzone sf than anything nintendo has shown recently for example

First of all, I never said PS4 has no games. I said it has "almost nothing", and  "the few announced" games for it. From what I read it's only 3 exclusives atm.

I understand that people have different tastes in games, but even so there are only a handful of announced exclusives for the PS4, and none of them are high volume IP's (Killzone and InFamous have never sold above 3 million units per game).

So whatever hype there is for PS4, is in most cases, not for the games, but the console itself. You probably represent a minority interested in the PS4 specifically for Killzone.

Hence my statement is valid, but are people interested in the PS4 for the graphical jump, or the games?

P.S. Which is it for you? Is it Killzone because of the game which makes you want a PS4, or Killzone because of the graphics?

just as i am with any console in general i'm interested in the ps4 for the games that i've seen announced for it ( not just for killzone but i'm interested in most of the other games i've seen as well )

" are people interested in the PS4 for the graphical jump, or the games?"

looking back at the months prior to the wii u's launch most of the discussion i saw was about its power, about how it would demonstrate a considerable leap over the ps3 and 360

and that's natural for any console to be interested in what advancements in technology it provides
