Nothing.
A new opportunity for consumers to take their discs wherever they go without needing to carry them all.Newest technology!
http://m.cnet.com/news/sony-ps3-is-hard-to-develop-for--on-purpose/10173656?ds=1Straightforward hardware that you don't need to be from 3 years in the future to understand how to get anything out of.
A touchscreen on the controller !
Touchscreen for the disc.
Unfortunately (thankfully?) the 4K tech is still very young and so there really is no agreed format within the industry on how to deliver 4K content. I think some dual layered BD do it but from what I've heard Kaz wants a new format for it and we'll have to see how the industry reacts.
As such, the PS4 can only really stick to BD. I would assume cloud gaming/video streaming could be huge if done right.

No used games!

If speculation is true and it does come out late 2013, I think a dual layered or some other increased capacity blu ray disc would be most likely. having an inbuilt player capable of 4K would be too expensive to pull off this year. Bit pointless as well since virtually nothing supports it yet and I don't see people upgrading from their regular LCD TV's any time soon.
As for cloud gaming it could be interesting, if done well. But with all the bandwidth it chews up it would be rather expensive to run.

Yeah, really. NEC says "hi". Sega says "yo, what's up". PCs say "oh, hey, I didn't see you from all the way over here".Playstation was not first with a CD media format by a long shot.
Day 1 PSN version for every single game.
Sony has always done something new and different from the competitors and it always seems to pay of for them in the long run. PS1 had CD and you could play your music on it. PS2 had DVD and that was a #gamechanger. PS3 and BR didn't take off as Sony would have hoped but in the long run, BR seems to be the a great move for Sony.
So what will the PS4 have that will wow us and that will set it apart from the competitors? Is 4k the answer? What else can they use?
I wonder how the retail market will react to this.
