"We" had the same discussion for the 360 and PS2 back in the days that the launch games doesn't look much much better.
The difference between PS4 and the next Xbox to the Wii U is that they will get the next-gen treatment from the third parties. Wii U doesn't even get ports of all current gen titles.
360, PS3 launch games did look much better than PS2 games though. The jump was not as big as psone to ps2 or xbox anymore. This gen it seems to be even smaller.
It's not that people will care about the amount or type/speed of the RAM but people will care about the results. Maybe we should be running Windows 7/8 with 8 MB of EDO RAM because RAM isn't really that important?
Yes but will those results be ready for christmas. The ps4 only games that looked remotely ready at this points were killzone shadow fall, knack and drive club. None of those games looked like they were a substantial leap from ps3
I think some people are forgetting how everyone was complaining how awful PS3's first year was.
Yup. Question is can sony at its current state afford a PS3 situation in year 1 and 2? Getting money from the finance market is much harder for them now compared to back in 2006-2007
