PS4 Announced

videogametrader:
I didn't think Sony even needed to release a new console yet. I don't see a reason to pick one up. I don't play online much so i don't care one bit about the Social Networking integration. The whole reason I even purchased a PS3 was the Blu-Ray.

I don't see many people upgrading from PS3 to PS4.
wiggy:
As much as Sony's original 10 year life cycle sounded crazy when the PS3 launched, it actually sounds really logical at this point.

There's only 3 instances where backwards compatibility has been a big selling point for me:

-Game Boy series
-DS on 3DS
-Wii on WiiU (I didn't like the notion of having 2 sensor bars and 2 separate sets of Wiimotes and nunchuks)

I'm seeing lots of "eh" reactions to the PS4 conference. I think the general gaming populace is becoming more interested in quality experiences than hearing about what a system COULD do.

There are 2 more I would like to add:
Gamecube to Wii -- 480p progressive scan
PS1 -- PS2/3 -- 480p/1080p

It is also good for the people who do not have the money to buy the newest games for the system, or has to sell the old system to afford the system, or the old one brakes down. Or for people who did not have the old system to have more games to play, I had a Wii before a GC, and a PS2 before a PS1.

big ass Meh for this announcement , nothing they confirmed wow'd me in the least i allready have diablo 3 . I really think it should be at least backwards compatible with ps3 . what bothers me most is they didnt Confirm/Deny rumors that games will lock to your system, again if they do lock games i see no reason to buy one .
