You must have missed the posts in this thread stating that the PS4 is the best designed piece of videogame hardware ever when it's only been officially announced a month ago, and how Sony is "dominating" the sales charts.

I can't famish how you would know that.

Yeah I'm not saying PS4 won't win next generation I just don't like some people's attitude towards the announcement of the PS4. One thing to be excited and another to be just a dick towards fans of other companies. 

I'm pretty sure those posts are supposed to be satirical, you know, to poke fun at the OP for his claims.

Ah Lordy,,, What's happening to the forums?

Sure...

Most evidnence points to 360 and Ps3 being undertracked but more so for the Ps3. Thus the gap is even less than VGC estimates right now. On top of that... the Ps3 is still beating 360 on a weekly basis.

I can't speak for anyone else, but as for myself... Hell NO!

This backwards compatibility nonsense has been explained, I get it, I'm still not clear on what will and won't transfer over.

I'm not happy, and the lack of native backwards compatibility for my digital PSN games, and for my game saves, and not even know about PS1 or PS2 games does not fill me with confidence.

Well personally I think Sony is in a position to take the next gen easily if they don't do something abysmal. I think a lot of people are excited (honestly myself included) by the prospect. I think it's just due to all the positive momentum lately. The PS3 is selling very well, the Vita just had an upswing in Japan, the PS4 presentation went very well and the exclusives are flowing like a waterfall. PS+ is an utter bargain.

I honestly never would have seen this coming and it's far better than I imagined.

But............ I'll tell you the main reason I think Sony fans (like myself) are confident. And this will ruffle a few feathers, but I'm not ashamed because it's what I truly believe.

Nintendo are out of the race.

There I said it...... The WiiU design and sales are abysmal. I love Nintendo software, but the hardware for their home console is a distaster. With their main competitor gone I believe Sony and Microsoft will mop up the blue ocean. I do still think Microsoft has a chance to take no.1 next gen if they can strike a better balance catering for the core next gen as intensely as they tried to push kinect this gen for the casuals, but as far as I'm concerned Nintendo are gone.

I don't agree with trolling other fans though, but I will be honest in my prediction that Sony will be first, Microsoft a close second and Nintendo a distant third.

Very much this.

Although there are a few Sony fans being ridiculous lately and it's getting on my nerves.  But no more so than in the past.

So yeah, it's mostly just hype.  Which I completely understand.
