    Here are a few things that I want Sony to implement/improve for the Playstation® Four (PS4)

    (1) PS3 backwards compatibility: I want to be able to play All my current games on my new console, Then I can use my PS3 in the living room as a blue ray player and family games console (along with the Wii)

    (2) Cross game chat: come on Sony DO IT!!!

    (3) Online play with PC gamer's over Steam: I doubt we will see more of this but it would be a cool exclusive feature for a new console.

    (4) No limit to friends list: I want to be able to connect with as many fellow gamer's as I wish.

    (5) Google chrome browser: PS4 needs a good web browser and this is my favorite. Meanwhile Xbox 720 users will be stuck with using Bing! and Windows Phone 7 ;)

    (6) Android apps: Maybe this could happen also after all Sony has released that Playstation certified phone.

    (6) True multitasking: I want to be able to download films and games while I play a game or play a pre-downloaded podcast while I'm playing a game.

    (7) Mandatory 1080p for all games. (Credit goes to Three0neFive for this one)

    More will be added as I/you think of them.

    Mandatory 1080p.
     
    It's fucking 2011 and most games are still running below 1280x720 with minimal AA. It's a travesty.

    Agreed, but what can they do? They're console games, running on six-year-old hardware.

    I want it backwards compatible with both the PS2 and The original Playstation. If it can't do that then I'm not buying because I have quite a few PS2 games I've been wanting to play for a couple of years since I sold my PS2 a couple years back when I got my PS3 and then I found out that not every PS3 model was backwards compatible.

    A better user interface to download content.

    All console games available for download. I'm tired of physical media.

    Get rid of Quriosity and replace it with Amazon Video on Demand.

    Cross game chat is patented by Microsoft, so it's kinda tricky for Sony to figure something out on that part.

    How about 
    1) actual triggers on the controller  
    2) patches that arent bigger than the games themselves
    3) an online infrastructure that doen't take me an hour to download a PSN game
    4) an upscaler so that if a game doesn't support 1080p, it will at least throw out a 1080p signal like xbox
    5) sex port

    #1) Everything that the PS3 claimed to be on the box, but true. That means actual 1080p high def, not 545p renders upscaled to 720p. That means a web browser capable of browsing sites other than Sony's own. That means a link to Facebook or Twitter that doesn't just load up the nav bar at the top of the page and nothing else. That means a Youtube link that isn't force-limited to 240p resolution with no volume control a spinning "buffering" icon that never leaves the middle of the video. That means games that cost less to manufacture and require no retail markup will in turn cost less than brick and mortal MSRP (ie. when GameStop has Motorstorm for $10 on disc while Sony sells it for $19.99 or 29.99 as a download.) That means the Qriocity music service should not only be much much more accurate (no CCR in my "1990's" channel...) but should have the goddamned ability to be used during games! The friggen Xbox 1 let you play your own music during games. Sony has a paid-membership music service and still doesn't!  Finally, all games, not just third party games, can use any USB webcam for in game content. And should you have an Eyetoy, it won't be forced-limited to a much lower picture quality than it is capable of. 
     
    #2) It ain't broke, but they should fix the controller. Xbox has at least opened itself up to the idea that its controller needs an upgrade with the limited release transforming +pad one. Dualshock 4 needs better analog sticks, pressure sensitive triggers for racing games and tactical shooters, and maybe a sweeter d-pad. DS3 is still the best but could be better. 
     
    #3) The things that have plagued Sony products since inception. Shorter load times! Faster menu systems. Better management of save games. The little things.

    they need to take somthing good out of nintendos book since thats the book they followed since ps1, they need to do this

    1-backwards compatible with ps3 games and all ps1 games as well -since these are gonna be on vita , not sure if theyll be able to do 2

    2 - a flat design for the console it self, curved tops dont help my entertainment center/desk

    3 - bring back the original dualshock controller the ds3s l2 r2 buttons are hard to use and they always seam to prss down even with the smallest touch

    4 better exclusives

    5 more third party support -oddly enough giving all of your titles to 360 isnt gonna cut it, see what wii did thats what ps4 needs to do , get it self some good 3rd party exclusives

    6 and most importantly reasonable price! 300-350

    I'd like to see some of the same kind of things Wii U is promising. 
     

    1. Software backwards compatibility with PS3 titles including PS1 and PS2 classics on PSN. I'd love compatibility with PS1 and PS2 discs, but that's not as big a deal for me since I don't have that many.
    2. Full support for PS3 peripherals. I have 3 Dual Shock 3s, a Sixaxis and a Move controller. Their layout has not meaningfully changed since the original Dual Shock, and I think the DS3 is the best console controller available overall despite the slightly weak shoulder buttons. With no more meaningful improvements to be made I'd like to see the DS3 fully supported even if a DS4 is available with a Nintendo style +pad (like the Vita has) and improved R2/L2 triggers.
    3. Improve their online service. The Playstation+ cloud save and automatic game update features are a great start, and their store has always been fairly navigable and (slightly) more consumer friendly than the Xbox and Wii stores. However, they do need to reduce the frequency of their firmware updates, or at least minimize the pain of being out of date and speed up the process of updating. I'm not as involved on the online community stuff on consoles as I am on Steam, but I do think they could improve their communication functions and do something to eliminate the trophy sync hangup. A partnership with Steam could be a godsend here.
    4. Deliver some compelling improvement other than just "teh graphics."
