Yeah and it turns out they hate it and would rather just sit down and play with a controller.
Anyway my thoughts :
PS3 didn't bomb just because of the price. The Xbox got a years head start and by 2007 was delivering triple A titles on a monthly basis whilst it took the PlayStation literally years to hit the same stride. Long after the price was cut down dramatically anyway.
Developers didn't seem to prefer the PS3. The tech was a nightmare to program. Every third party title going was developed on the Xbox from the ground up then ported over to the PS3.
I don't think Blu-Ray is as integral as you're making it out to be. From a movie standpoint streaming is eradicating the format already at an incredibly fast rate. As far as the games go how many times realistically did Blu Ray actually matter this generation? Most developers just used the large storage capacity as impetus to utilize poor compression techniques with the software leading to shoddy content streaming [most evident on third party games].
Okay so maybe Final Fantasy XVI will come on four discs but ... so? Blu-Ray would be nice but in no way is it a necessity.
I don't think the PS4 will come anywhere near to having the same market share dominance the PS2 had. No console will. Sony and Microsoft went neck and neck this generation and I think that will continue. The Wii U will not have the same massive sales edge as the Wii. Casual gaming essentially boomed half a decade ago. People came and saw. It's not going to boom again.
People will be slow to adopt to a new generation. Personally I don't even want one anywhere on the horizon yet. I still get great usage out of the PS3 and 360. Every analyst worth their salt is saying people will be slow to adapt.
