But that's what I don't understand! Why do people want a PS4?

Is it simply because it's $100 cheaper than the Xbone? Is the latest Dualshock controller that comfy? Was the holy grail to console design always to italicize them?

Starting with the NES, the most popular consoles, and even less popular consoles that found niches, did so because of big, exciting games that could not be done on older hardware. The main exceptions were things like the Wii, which were less powerful but because of their control scheme did something new and exciting.

Of the Top 10 selling PS4 games, 7 can also be played on the PS3.

So why is it that people want a PS4, if it offers nothing new, is more expensive than the Wii U, lacks backwards compatibility, etc?

I'm with you Sal. I created an entire thread dedicated to this question.
