I waited until a couple of years ago to get into the current generation. I wanted to see how things played out between the two (helped that my brother had both) then jump in when a bunch of games would be cheap with age.

But it everything being said is true, I might throw down this year just to encourage Sony to keep doing what they're doing, if that's what they're doing. I'd like to encourage them to take that philosophy to other parts of their business, like phones.

If there's a company prepared to stop dictating and start really listening, as well as executing, they should be rewarded.
