PS3 is still a better all round console than PS4

[KBG29]

I agree with everything besides the image quality issue. PS4 not having a local Video Player, Music Player, and Photo Viewer is an absolute joke. Many of the people I know that had PS3 used it for those features and Netflix much more than they actually gamed on it. Even at a rate of at least 3 games a month, I even used the thing for other media and web browsing at least 50% of the time.

I can not believe all of the acceptence on this site, and even over on the PlayStation forums. PS4 is built on an X86 CPU, and a nearly off the shelf GPU. Video, audio, and photo software for this hardware has been available for years, and there are 100's if not more open source ways to implement them. There is absolutly no excuse for why Sony has not delivered this software. DLNA, 4K, and 3D should also be on the system by now. Why they would not be selling 3D and 4K content on the PlayStation Video service is way beyond me. That would actually be profitable, and they could get Samsung and Vizio 4K buyers into there ecosystem, not having this is absolute stupidity to me.

Then there is the support for gaming that is missing. Where is support for my GT Driving Force wheel? How about the PlayStation Move and all of its accessories? How about custom in game sounds and videos on a number of titles that have been released on PS4 that are missing the features from PS3? These are just some quick things off the top of my head.

By know everyone has to know I love Sony, and expect massive things from the PS4 thanks to PlayStation Vue. But, to deny its current short commings in comparison to PS3 is insane. It has some plus's thanks to the multitasking capabilities, and the overall quickness, but as a gaming platform, and a media platform it leaves much to be desired.

And, finally a question. For those that think things are all hunky dory. Would you be fine if the next iPhone or Galaxy Phone only had basic text, calling, and web browsing for over a year after release? If not, How is the PS4 any different? and, Would you be Ok with the PS5 comming out with less features than PS4 has right now?
