The DS4 controller looks like it took design lessons from the car made by Homer Simpson, and having an 8 hour battery life makes me want a smart phone inside it. And I won't lie when I read about Sony testing new stick placement but sticking with tradition for tradition's sake made me wonder what's going on considering every other controller has the left stick in the primary position.
It's not rare, it's just not everyone experienceI don't get it... Is it a rare case to have your PS4 be very silent compared to your PS3 slim?
Since I have them side by side and the PS4 can't be heard at all by me, even with the game disc running....
:/
Yea I never understood the hype for the PS4 but I do understand the hate for the XB1
Both are rushed but the steps that Sony took backwards compared to the PS3 makes me question what's going on like no 3D Blu Ray, HTPC/DLNA support, backwards compatibility, even regular Blu rays, etc. Instead they're trying to lure you in with paywalls like Music Unlimited and now require PSN for multiplayer. And throw in wobble gate, slow wifi (even compared to the XB1) poor vertical cooling, Vita remote play's lag, etc.

I'll be there for the 2.0 or Slim version but until then they need to make a lot of improvements, and offer exclusive games I want to play other than Resogun. It'd also be great if 1080p and 60fps become the standard along with stable servers/OS (looking at you Battlefield 4)
There's a lot of OS material that the touchpad can be used for and it can be ease of use... Your brain just isn't innovative enough to imagine ideas if the only thing you can muster up is how gimmicky it is. I already have 5 good uses for it that I would love to be implemented.
They stuck with it because it's better, deal with it.
Sorry but just because the DS4 doesn't have a 360 / xb1 stick layout doesn't make it inferior.... Opinions how do these work again?
I don't think I've ever read a post on GAF that I've disagreed with more. Well played.
A lot of words
the only real innovation is the controller fits better in your hand
The mic/speaker , touchpad and flashing light have added nothing to my gaming experience and as a result of having these I have to put up with crap
Anything that paints the ps4 in a bad light is like throwing a petrol can onto a fire
a bad xbox thread..you could strangle kittens put them though a mincer then shove them up your ass and nobody would blink
Edit
nice threadshitting

And why the hell is the power brick on that massive thing still outside of the box?!

I disagree with OP in almost every regard. I think the PS4 and DS4 build quality all phenomenal. The console is quiet, powerful and the controller is damn intuitive and feels excellent in the hand.
Controversial Opinion tags are annoying as all hell.
Some of your points are valid but I don't think you've done all you can too secure your consoles. Making any failures partially your fault.
I still have OG Xbox Duke pads that are sturdy enough to be used as weapons
Controversial Opinion tag in topic title = Hey look at me! Click this topic and yell at me because I need attention!
Reality is, people just have opinions, and more than that, people have different physiology and preferences.
Enough said, and this thread will either be locked or drop off the first few pages quickly, then into obscurity because most other posts know.
And to everyone complaining about usb cable length or charging problem, you need one of these. 30, great build quality, very well design connnector, solves all your problems:

My PS4 is quiet. I've yet to hear the fan. Maybe something is wrong with your unit.
I'll agree that the PS4 gets very loud and the case feels "cheap" compared to ps3 phat and slim.
Yep, dealing with a true Einstein here.
But no, lets blame Sony.
I'm not sure about kid-proof, there is nothing to guide the controller into place. You still need to put it in the right spot, at the right angle. That being said, there is a piece of plastic that retracts while the controller just falls into place, it's pretty awesome. You don't need to push on the controller at all.I was looking at getting one but prefer the look of the US one where the controller needs to be pushed down to lock into place and then again to 'release' it.
Is it kid-proof? I got the Orb because it looked nice (and was half the price) but in reality it's a pile of pants and hard to get the controller in the correct place (and I don't want scratches around the jack where you keep missing it).
My PS4 is whisper quiet.. As for rushed, don't think so. look at the design of the cooling systems .
XB1 - Classic PC fan/heatsink, Cool air pushed down through the heatsink and hot air is and spread throughout the case , I can see the inside of that case being a dust bowl in 6 months.
Incorrect. The vent on top is the exhaust. Dust that settles in there will be blown out. Cool air is drawn in from the sides, the back, and the front. Huge surface area, so dust collection on the vents shouldn't be an issue.
My bad , had the fan blowing opposite.. Still the same problem... air is being pulled across the PCB then through the heatsink. that case will fill with dust.
