Don't see how that is "wow" worthy. A differing opinion sure, but you gotta admit he has a point with wanting a new generation to offer something new. Nintendo is doing their thing, Xbox is promoting a upgraded Kinect that integrates your whole entertainment center, and PS4......has better looking games?

Not Sonys fault, they do what the people want. Its gamers that are too closed minded. Hate change, entitlement, etc etc.

The PS4 is cheaper. That's why its doing so well. Why do gamers hate change?

That's another thing all together that goes into the psychological. Gaming represents youth and escape from mundacity of life. Change represents growing up and life moving forward, which many are not mentally capable of accepting. I'm talking deep subconscious stuff, just my take.

To be fair, better hardware allows for further innovations in game design / gameplay. As an example, just look at the transition from SNES to N64 -- the better graphics (or more accurately better hardware) permitted the transition from 2D to 3D and the development of pioneering games such as mario 64, ocarina of time, and golden eye. 

People like yourself use the term 'graphics' to signify superficial upgrades in visuals when in reality 'graphics' reflects better hardware, which allows for further innovations in game design and development.
