The launch games don't really encourage me to get a PS4 tbh, unless there's some really good next gen games coming out next year waiting wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

[Premiers04]

Watch dogs, killzone, Battlefield 4 and need for speed rivals enough reason for me to jump on board at launch.

No way do I want to play inferior current gen versions of those titles.

Just wish south park was coming to ps4 then I could be done with the ps3 once and for all

Add GTA V and Beyond to that, I have absolutely no need for my PS3 at the moment, but I can't get rid of it.

I'm currently using this gaming lull to go through anything I missed.

It's been kind of awesome as I've polished off more games in the last 10 days than I have in ages.

Eh the launch titles are pretty meh, might wait til' Naughty Dog brings out a good next gen game.

When was the last time Naughty Dog brought a game that was merely 'good'?

- Party chat doesnt require a PS+ sub
- friends list limit is 2000

Camera looks alright, maybe grab one in a couple of years for the kids to jump around in front of.

Looking forward to party chat with all the bigfooty blokes. Something i never got to utilise on the 360.

 

[Cory]

Doubt anyone would need 2000 friends on PSN.

 

[JordanWCE]

- Party chat doesnt require a PS+ sub

Now to find out what the limit is for a party, it's up to 8 people on the 360.

In regards to the consoles RAM allocation

Following a story last week about the PlayStation 4's RAM profile, Sony has taken the opportunity to provide clarification. As you might recall, last week we shared a report that the PlayStation 4 held 3.5 GB of RAM for operating system functions, 1 GB of which would be available on a flexible basis for gaming. Sony has provided a correction.
In a statement issued to Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, Sony addresses a key technical matter from the original story.

We would like to clear up a misunderstanding regarding our "direct" and "flexible" memory systems. The article states that "flexible" memory is borrowed from the OS, and must be returned when requested - that's not actually the case.The actual true distinction is that:​

• "Direct Memory" is memory allocated under the traditional video game model, so the game controls all aspects of its allocation
• "Flexible Memory" is memory managed by the PS4 OS on the game's behalf, and allows games to use some very nice FreeBSD virtual memory functionality. However this memory is 100 per cent the game's memory, and is never used by the OS, and as it is the game's memory it should be easy for every developer to use it.

We have no comment to make on the amount of memory reserved by the system or what it is used for.​

This changes the outlook for development, possibly opening up significantly more available memory. The implication from Sony's comment is that the processes in place for handling virtual memory will be largely seamless and easy enough to use. The intent seems to be that regardless of the direct allocation, the flexible memory will be available for gaming.

I just honestly don't want to play any of those games except maybe Watch_Dogs, I love how I post my opinion and get berated with posts questioning me. I'm a Sony fanboy at heart but with those games at launch, I'm in no rush to grab a PS4.
