I don't really understand why Sony has still, more than a year after release, gimped the PS4 in so many ways.

i recently booted up my PS3 after a long absence, on my new 55" tv.

Then it hit me: PS3 is just better atm. My custom image backround looked amazing (A Wipeout HD photo mode pic), the image quality is much better on Blurays and Netflix, and all my music files, photos and videos are all on the XMB and shareable via DLNA. Games, too, are tucked into one folder in a list instead of dominating everything.

And PS3 3D: wow. Super crisp, stable, really adds a lot of depth, and so many great games like GT, Killzone and Uncharted support it. Granted my tv is excellent for 3D (Samsung ue55hu8000) but it's like a giant New 3DSXL. I miss this feature on PS4 games.

bascially PS4 has slightly better graphics and loading, and share functions, and a better controller. Everything else is worse :(

Can't say anything about Netflix, but the image quality of Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, YouTube and Amazon Instant Video look the same to me on PS3 and PS4. The PS4-apps (YouTube and Amazon Instant Video) start a lot faster, have better user interfaces seems to buffer much more of the video streams (bigger and faster RAM). And of course the PS4 is much quieter while playing videos than the PS3 with its noisy fan.

Scrolling through the game folder on PS4 is much more convenient than on PS3 IMHO: 9 games (3x3 tiles) at the same time are shown on the screen... I hope they add 4x4 or 5x5 tiles in the future with smaller icons. Additionally you have the caroussell with your last played games / used apps.

Scrolling through my PS3 game list takes forever, even with the subfolders. And adding new games to already existing subfolders could have been designed much more convenient.

I'm a huge fan of stereoscopic 3D (Blu-ray 3D, Nvidia 3D Vision, 3DS XL, PS3 and PS4) and I wish more PS4-games would offer that option... but the trade-offs in most PS3-games for stereoscopic 3D are huge: 480p-resolution, slowdowns and/or ridiculously short draw distance.
