Is the outrage towards PS4K proof that console gamers care more about performance and visuals than they're willing to admit?

I was one of those unhappy with the New 3DS news.
Then we got no real problem with it happening, I've saw about the Hyrule Warriors game, but that's about it.
(the Wii ports didn't bothered too many people)

Now is wait and see as well, if it start having exclusives, or performance issues, people will and have to complain with both the developers and Sony as well.
Right now the news are good, and we have an example of that being acceptable by consumers with the New 3DS, which is now the most common being bought on the 3DS line.

I agree, but HW and Xenoblade are two cases of poorly handled new hardware revision. They're just two, but they're more than zero XD. I'm always cautious about hardware revisions, so I'll wait and see how Sony takes advantage of this. I can understand a couple of exclusives, if the rest of the games work well in the previous model.
