Your attempt to try to turn this into a console war is misguided and unnecessary.
None of the 8th gen systems deserve to be selling as the PS4 is. Wii U deservedly suffered in its first year due to a lack of games. Now PS4 is committing the same sin, but it somehow gets a free pass cos it's the "cool" console. This tells the industry, "hey, don't bother actually giving us games, just give us an expensive box that plays PS3 games with a marginally cleaner picture and we'll be happy". I for one demand more than that.

I have to disagree. What the the success of the ps4 is telling the industry is:
1. Talk to third parties before making a console
2. Find a good balance between respectable hardware and price.
3. Support your latest console until the end of its cycle
4. Don't take anti-consumer measures
5. Don't force peripherals/expensive media on gamers.

It seems a bit anti-consumer to me to let people run out and get TLOU on PS3 and not tell them it's coming to PS4 a year later. That's tricking people into double dipping to get more cash out of them.

Well, you're entitled to your own opinion of course, but I couldn't disagree more. I think calling that of all things an anti-consumer practise is a massive exaggeration. No one HAS to double dip. Now if they were to release exclusive story dlc on ps4 and force people to buy the ps4 version just to play a part of the story, then sure, that'd be anti-consumer.
I find what happened with the LOTR bluray edition anti-consumer. They released a blu-ray version and waited a year or something to release another version with deleted scenes. So they withheld content to increase profits.
