So far, PS4 games look pretty PS3ish to me. I'd need to see something truly amazing to have me really excited about it, as opposed to feeling tepid about it and dreading the price.

I won't be buying it at launch, that's for sure. I'll wait until there's at least one game I am hell bent to get -- nothing listed for launch really does it for me.

I totally agree! I have seen nothing that is totally ground breaking and they have had 10 YEARS to develop these systems. I would love to see some new technology in the systems, even if it drives up the cost. At least give us the option for better models..

Options I would like to see...

-SSD Hard Drive (I am replacing the HD with a SSD on day one)
-4K Res for Gaming (PS4 only has it for video/picture viewing. This is obviously not a big deal now.)
-3rd party software allowed (XBMC would be sick!)
-Multi Display Support (Want to play GT and Forza over three monitors in my cockpit)

Oh yeah! I am mainly a PC Gamer. I just have a few buddies that refuse to join me. So I still have to keep a console around.

I think most launch games usually pale compared to the games at the end of a console's life cycle. I think part of it is just the learning curve for the new hardware and learning how to optimize it. The second part is probably just trying to rush a game out for launch.
I agree, nothing must have at launch. I just pre-order because I hate the time wasted looking for anything new. Destiny is what I'm waiting for and I want to be ready to play when it comes out and not looking for a console

Sony tried adding everything people wanted before, it drove the price up too much and not everyone was willing to pay that much. My new PS3 pales compared to my launch PS3. At least you can swap the HD out on the PS4. I would of loved 4k for gaming, it would of given me a reason to buy a 4k tv lol. As you said, it's not that big of a deal now because the bump in specs required to support 4k gaming on disc space, video, and processor would of been huge and only a few people would of been able to take advantage of it. Sounds like you've got a pretty sweet setup for your racing games though.
