Hardware:
The Playstation 4 might not be the next gen you were hoping for in your dreams back in 2006 but it's a step in the right direction and a technological overhaul from the last system. The PS4 comes with plenty of apps, a 60 dollar a year online service that gives you three games a month and a controller. Separate play options that enhance the experience are the Playstation Camera which is 60 dollars and allows you to use facial recognition as signing in and Kinect like features for games. The Playstation Camera also comes with a free game "The Playroom" but this game can get boring in less than an hour and is only used to showcase the AR capabilities of this machine. Unfortunately there has been some defective units with a blue light of death however there has only been 4000 reported. (Sources:CNET,CNN,IGN,Polygon)
Games:
The launch titles for the Playstation 4 are Killzone:Shadow Fall,Resogun and Knack. The other launch titles available are Angry Birds Star Wars,Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag,Battlefield 4,Blacklight Retribution,Call Of Duty:Ghosts,FIFA 14, Injustice,Just Dance 2014,Lego Marvel,Madden,NBA 2K14,NBA Live 14,Need For Speed:Rivals and Skylanders. All of these titles are available on Xbox one on launch day too except for Blacklight. The general consensus on Knack,Killzone and Resogun is that they are great games but just appetizers for the wonderful experiences on PS4 soon to come like The Order:1886, Infamous:Second Son and Drive Club.
Overall:
Should you get a Playstation 4? Yes. Should you get it now? No. You should probably get it this Christmas or even January when a bunch of new titles are out.
