Ok I got my PS4 when it launched here on Friday, and I love it.
Any negativity played up in the press about this or the XBone is like anything a very small % of units, but obviously the disgruntled are the most vocal so it makes it look like its a huge issue. Plus there has been a huge amount of trolling on the likes of Amazons review section with fanboys of both consoles pretending they bought faulty units etc.
Sony has obviously played it safe at launch, and a lot of features you would expect to be on it are missing. (things like not being able to play 3D blu ray)
When asked about these sort of things prior to its release, their stock answer was "not available at launch" which generally means they will come later with patches.
Sony seems to be winning this round so far (although in the end they won the last round as well seeing as the USA is the only territory the 360 dominated, and worldwide the PS3 keeps edging ahead by about half a million units sold), and has even taken the lead in the USA. This is why I laughed when Microsoft made a big song and dance about selling 1.5 million units at launch worldwide, when the initial PS4 launch was only in the USA and did similar figures.
All the negativity around Microsofts original plans of no game sharing etc has bitten them big style, as a lot of people seem to have switched allegiance. Plus the fact that big games like Battlefield 4 and COD Ghosts are only running at 720 upscaled to 1080 on the XBone but run at a native 1080 on the PS4, has hurt them I think.
While its nice to have all the extra features, at the end of the day a console is a gaming machine, and where Sony has benefited here is they are appealing more to the gamer who doesnt give a shit about watching tv on their console because thats what you cable box etc is for anyway.
The biggest downside to the PS4 other than the limited features is the rather poor launch line up. Yeah there were a few big games, but nowhere near enough for many, and a lot of them are games already on the PS3. The postponing of Watch Dogs and Drive club has been a big let down.
Of course, you give a man the technology, and he will use it for porn
