I really don't see the downside >.<

You don't call publishers taking the cheap way out and porting all their games instead of developing new games a downside?  Porting games obviously takes resources and manpower.  Some publishers might even think that if they're going to make the same amount of money porting a title instead of creating a new title then why not make the port.  

If people keep buying into all these ports, more and more developers are going to jump at the idea of rerereleasing a last gen game at full MSRP instead of developing a new game.  There's no guarantee this will happen but there's also no guarantee that this gen won't be flooded with last gen ports.  So far that's just about all we have to play. 

But you are talking as if new games have not been released and as if nothing but ports are in the works. If that was the case then you would have a case but it is not correct. SO then there is nothing wrong with the ports because as was stated it doesn't take away a lot of the resources that were had, it is a good way for new PS4 owners to get to play some games they never got to. And old PS3 owners to get another chance at games they missed as Zekkyou stated lol.

We already know that games are in the works(Uncharted 4, The Order 1886, the new IP from GG and the new IP from MM and the new one from SSM) all have been confirmed to be in development if I am not msitaken. And I am sure there are others as well. And again we are only 5 months into the console life cycle and from what we have with multiplats and exclusives(both retail and indide) for both systems there are plenty of games to play. I think you issue is that you want more "retail exclusives" which is fine but you are not really even giving time for the games to come out. If this was a console that was over a year old then as far as "retail exclusives" go I would be in agreement with you. But seeing as we are not even a full 5 months into the the life of the consoles I just think it is a little premature to get upset about it. Just my opinion of course.
