Of course I prefer the PS4 for this gen. But I'm afraid they are making some mistakes
#1 - Too much Indie games, no new AAA
The reason why the PS4 will be successful, the Xbox One will follow and the Wii U will fail, is because the context makes it so that people are only ready to spend money for a console if it's powerful (when there's a crisis people turn to entertainment and drugs).
Also, that's what people are expecting from the PS4 : not just iPhone, F2P or Indie games, not just PS3 adaptations, but real new jaw dropping entertainement.
#2 - Where's Gaïkai? Netflix/Hulu...?
It was one of the most innovative and key selling feature of PS4. There's been a mention of Twitch but none of Gaïkaï, and no big VOD/TV offer
#3 - PS3 offer is still better than the PS4 offer
On one hand, the PS3 is the best selling home console, they just cut the price of the PS3 below the Wii U, Xbox 360 or Vita, and most blockbusters like AC4, Watch Dog, Gran Turismo and other upcoming/recent ones are being released.
It's a big push for the PS3 and the fact that not only the PS4 is more expensive, has less games, and it doesn't play PS3 games, why isn't there any retro-compatibility option or downloadable games plans yet ?

One thing I saw from Sony conference which I thought was a great innovation is the interface for connecting to your friends and entering their games. That felt truly next gen and I believe that tech comes from Gaikai. Its where you have a video of the game your friends are playing and you can click on it to see the gameplay. You can then Join the game by clicking on Join.
So while I was not all that impress with the PS4 as something I will purchase when it release. I do think Sony has some nice innovation that neither MS or Nintendo is doing that will give it an identify outside of just being a more powerful PS3
