Playstation 4 announment

So the PS4 has now officially been announced yet I still wonder why they have decided to bring it out in the open so quick. to me this is just a stab at Microsoft which are still staying quite about their new console rumored to be the Xbox 720. Anyway, the PS4 announcement previewed the type of graphics that the console would be using and to be honest they aren't bad, in fact I like the new graphics but to me they are just a little step up from the PS3 that we can buy today. I mean yes the lighting is smoother and the eyes look lifelike but they still resemble the PS3 in so many ways it just seems like a waste bringing the PS4 out so early and yes I know it's been 5 years but I'd rather wait until something huge comes along. Sony has also got another get rich quick scheme again and has stopped the support of yet another controller meaning that everyone that has 4 or more controllers will have to spend nearly twice the amount to get another for the PS4. Sony have also decided to get rid of the 'Start' and 'Select' buttons to be replaced with 'Share' and 'Options' and yet again decided to copy a feature off of Nintendo by putting a speaker in to the controller. but there is some good news the new Playstation will support Move but only so many games and some will have to be re-purchased through the Playstation network market, meaning people will have to spend money to replace the games they already own. The last thing is they announce the console but never showed it. Why announce a console you may not even have a finished design for yet? It just seems like Playstation have made the first move against Microsoft without revealing the design so they don't copy and make it better, but I think Microsoft have learned from their previous mistakes with the Xbox 360 and bringing it out before they worked out all the bugs, but we'll see.
