That's like saying the PS4 is PS3 2.0.

It's going to be a completely different kind of playform. Having similar control inputs doesn't take away from that, especially when it will look and be branded completely different.

Isn't it essentially though? PS4 is pretty much the same thing as PS3, hence just the number change. Nintendo however has had its console hardware in eras. There was the NES era with NES and SNES. Then the 3D era with 64 and GC, then it had its gameplay changing era with Wii and Wii U.

Then Nintendo had said they are moving away from the Wii formula to try something different, but it doesn't seem that way. Based on everything we heard, it seems like Wii U 2.0, and PS4 being PS3 2.0 is kind of the perfect example.

Moving away from a formula doesn't mean they don't incorporate things from a previous forumla, the DS brand is a different formula from the GB brand but they're not very radically different from eachother in regards to the hardware approach. A formula and concept in a number of cases can't just be seen from supposed leaks and rumours, it may require seeing it's execution in practice.
