What reason is there to buy any console? The games! Uncharted, God of War, Little Big Planet, Infamous, Killzone, and so one.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

What do you mean do you not play video games? Then I guess their is no reason for you to buy one.

ha ha, I did buy my PS3 as it was the cheapest bluray player on the market at the time, which came with added advantage of playing some awesome games - so I know where you're coming from with this thread. If PS4 doesn't have a new optical medium, it will be less attractive than the PS3 was, but it will still have excellent games which will justify purchasing it.

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.

I didn't buy PS1, 2 or 3 for 'optical media', although I did use my PS2 as a DVD player (it was a nice bonus).

I didn't use my PS1 as a CD player, and I haven't used my PS3 as a blu-ray player (so far).

But a lot of people did buy the PS3 as a Blu-ray player.

I'm curious of what technology Sony will be introducing with the next PlayStation.

With the PS1, PS2, and PS3 there were additional, technical reasons why to purchase the latest console. However, the PS4 won't really offer any major advancement over the previous iteration except for graphic fidelity and overall CPU power. But tech wise, no new optical media as with the PS1, PS2, or PS3.

So what reason is there to buy the PS4?

If those were the only legitimate reasons to buy a console no one would've ever bought any console made by Nintendo!

No, but it did have the Wii Remote. The PS3 had Blu-Ray, which early in its life was a primary selling point.
