Why the heck is everyone so crazy about the PS4?

It's mostly because a lot of people are tired of their ancient PS3/360 and want to upgrade to a new console ... the PS4 has been designated the "golden child" because it's $100 cheaper with equal/better specs to the X1.

Though I agree based on actual merit, it's a bit overrated. The X1 has the better library. 

How? Ps4 has had new games fleshing out it;s library and adding variety every month, with indies the ps4 has a better lineup currently. outlast is excellent. It's free.

No one's seriously paying $400 for a state of the art new console to play some rinky dink indie games. 

PS4/X1 are the consoles of choice for people who want big TV experiences ... the PS4 just fills that gap for $100 less.

Honestly we've never really seen this in the industry before where a more powerful system was $100 cheaper than its competetion.

It would be like if the SNES launched at $50 less than the Genesis while having a decent edge in graphics. 

Never said they did, but they add variety, and flesh out a library especially at launch, you dont hget AAA games every 2 weeks. Sony was smart using indies early on.

 

PS Many do buy consoles to play retro games I work with several who mainly play indie and Downloabable titles with the scatter AA game.
