When I can buy games for five bucks that last me longer and offer just as much enjoyment than most of the $60 games there's no way I'd be happy to spend an additional $10 just to play the latest "bleeding edge" game. I'm not content to keep throwing increasing amounts of money at the same experience with slightly shinier graphics over and over again. When games actually change and offer something new I might be willing to pay a premium price, but from what I saw of the PS4 announcement? No way.
It was well done, what they showed didn't really excite me though. Killzone: Shadowfall is a nice looking fps. Driveclub is a nice looking (PGR-Forza ish?) racing game. Knack is not my cup of tea at all. The Media Molecule thing just looks like a tool. The Capcom fantasy thing looks interesting but I would be willing to bet that it will be multiplatform.
The sharing features hold no appeal for me and the cloud streaming stuff sounds way too ambitious and I don't think will be fully realized. What did interest me is the suspend anywhere feature. I just hope it doesn't mean the system will have to be continually on.
One thing Sony didn't do here to their credit is make me write it off. I'm not exactly excited about it right now, but give it games I want to play that I can't get anywhere else and give it a price I feel justified paying and they might have me.
