Again, my words are taken so literal. Jesus. Say one opinion and people jump down your throat.
Should I say "unnecessary hardware" then? One problem the consoles are having is that they have all these unnecessary Hardware that eats up space. I don't need my system to have all these do-dads I am not really gonna use. I don't need my PS4 or Xboxnext to turn on the lights in my house or connect it to my fridge. Sure I am giving a hyperbole, but you get my drift.
Your hyperbole is a poor example, so no, I don't really catch your drift. Just because there are features you don't use doesn't mean there aren't others who appreciate them.

Motion sensors? Why do we need this? A regular controller is just fine. I never understood the concept of the Playstation move and Xbox kinect. Blu-ray or red-ray? Well, I don't care as long as the games are good.
Perhaps because adding these things to controllers can bring new ways to play, even if they are minor? And if you don't understand the concept of PS Move and the Kinect then I guess that's something you can't help. I'm not even going to talk about Blu-ray.

Then we have features that I don't really care about. Connect it to twitter? Why? I don't need to surf the net on my console. All I need it to do is maybe two things. Play games and watch movies on netflix. Everything else I have never used. Not once. Even the avatars are boring me. Buy all these clothes for an imaginary person? Again why? Can't we focus on making good games?
Again, minor features that some appreciate and again, other people want them.

Take example. My NES and SNES. Compared to PS3 and PS4, it is a relic, yet I can think of tons of games for it that far surpass the PS3 games by a mile. When you're too busy focusing on the hardware and features and not enough on games themselves it tends to go down the tubes.
Your opinion, because I can of only a total of maybe 8 SNES games that are extremely good. While I can think of dozens of PS3 games that I'd rather have.

I don't even have to look far for this. Look at the PS2. It didn't have all the stuff the PS3 had, yet it's games were not only ten times better, but there were a lot more of them to choose from and of such wide variety. The PS2 has been far more successful, not because of blu-ray or some stupid gimmick, but because the games themselves were awesome and some were even great ideas that just spanned the imagination.
I agree.

Hardware is great, but if you have no games, what's the point? I rather have outdated hardware with awesome games then have the most updated hardware with no games. I can only think of 3 games I wanted to play on the PS3. The rest either were on my xbox or not worth playing at all.
Has it ever occurred to you that you're just not interested in the games that Sony makes for the most part now? It's not their fault that they don't specifically tailor games to satisfy you.

Sony need some real game developers for once that will only make for the PS4
Bolded: From what I have heard from my developer friends, that's not true either. Some have even said that the PS3 got so complicated that it got hard to program games for it. So, less limitations? Not from what I have heard. I even hear that is why some developers went to the xbox simply because it was easier to program for.
Here is an even bigger problem. I have been gaming a long time. A very long time. I have every single system from the NES to the PS2. I never bought a PS3. Why? Because I had no reason to. Dropping that much money on a system to play nothing? And again, all the games I wanted to play ended up being on the Xbox anyway along with most of my friends. So...what else? People pestered me because of blu-ray....so what?
The games have always been the biggest selling point of any console. Recently, it has been online play too.
And if the history of gaming shows, hardware alone didn't make a system great. Look at the Jaguar. That system sucked yet was said to have the latest hardware. Look at tons of other systems that at the time had updated hardware yet failed miserably because it was over-hyped and the games sucked. Virtual Boy.
I don't care about the system itself anymore. If anything PC tops it all, so hardware alone I should just buy a PC. So what else can the console give me besides "hardware" gimmicks? Let's see if they can do better with the PS4 then they did with the PS3 and all the hype it had or is it just going to be another repeat?
No matter what, it comes down to the games. I don't care about graphics that much nor about the power of the console. Let me see the games, then I will make a choice.
And what I gathered from this is basically "I can get most of the same games on Xbox and my friends play Xbox so why purchase a PS3?" Again, it seems like most of Sony's first party titles aren't appealing to you anymore, so why do you try to down-talk Sony's newest console by going "I don't care about the hardware, I want to see the games because a lot of these new features are pointless." The point of Sony releasing all of this info about the new console is to try to give us an understanding of what's capable of the system and what's to come down the road for PlayStation.
