PS4 should have an initial price lower than PS3's

I have a friend like that. He bought an 8-core AMD PC for his kid as a gaming PC because "8 is obviously better." I didn't have the heart to tell him that my 4-core 3570K would smoke that CPU. Usually he asks me what to buy but he was in a rush around the holidays and didn't have time to check with me. Not that it's a bad PC, but for gaming it's clearly not the best choice.
That said, stating that "AMD is crap" is either being clearly misinformed or just a joke/troll post. AMD is actually pretty awesome but for raw gaming performance they are not currently the best CPUs. However AMD makes the HD-series GPUs which if you ask anyone who knows about computers they will tell you are pretty awesome.

For performance per dollar AMD is the clear winner. It makes fiscal sense to build millions of identical consoles on the best possible hardware you can get for the best price because typical console gamers tend to have little disposable income. If price wasn't an object then these people would be Intel PC gamers instead and the whole console argument would be moot.

Such is the cost of getting more performance. The idea that you spent a little more for a little more, gives the impression you can hold off upgrading another year or so, and get Haswell. Though if you hit 4.2GHz on any CPU, any extra MHz is going to have very dwindling returns.

People sometimes forget that consoles do better than pcs with the same specs.

Exactly. A console is a console. Its meant to be for gaming. Hence, it can do better than a PC of the same price because every resource is directed to gaming.
Not sure what you mean by "old games" but most of the HD ports I played have 60fps and 1080p or 720p

Wow, very impressive indeed This may very well be the hardware that will push this (and next) games' graphics. That plus the fact that it will not force an always-online connection seems to have a huge advantage over the new Xbox (speculation, as the new M$ conole specs have not yet being released).
Even though i'm a PC gamer and enthusiast (i own an old PS2 and used it like 4 times), i'm glad they are going for something that powerful, even for todays standards.
It will take some time for developers to really squeeze that hardware, but the sole fact that it's finally getting an upgrade, plus the 8GB VRAM GDDR5 really brought a smile to me. Let's hope for the best.
