Here's how I see it. There are two categories of console "fanboys":
Group 1:
The dogs. They will bark at the slightest bit of negative feedback towards their precious system. They can dish it out, but are incapable of taking it in. (See: Skykid). It's basically the best ever, and nothing will ever have hope of coming close.

(Note that consoles are not the only thing capable of having this religious hold over people.
Genres can do this too, which takes us right back to "shmups R best, IDGAF 'bout no NEX GEN GAME" mentality.)
Group 2: This is the only legitimate group. They clearly see the limitations of their favorite console(s) and try to make sense of how the hardware can be utilized to the fullest in spite of this, and ponder how its manufactures can push boundaries with improvements over this hardware in the future. I have not seen any evidence of Group 1 mentalities in this thread except for yours, Skykid. I'm sure Friendly is not dumb enough to make the mistake of believing PS3, PS4, or PS1,345,246 for that matter are beyond criticism. These are purely your reactionary hallucinations.
Of course, there remain people so jaded with the state of things that they feel the need to shit all over any thread which holds the slightest semblance of hope for
anything.
Why is it seen as stupid to be optimistic?
