Because shiny. There's no logical justification for my always getting swept up in launch hype and needing the latest console, but it always happens. My PS4 has been sidelined whilst I go back to Saints Row IV, but I don't regret getting it straight away.
It's beyond me while people buy launch consoles. There's never anything to play for about 2 years at which point they are cheaper.

Not really. I genuinely thought between Kaz, Yoshida, Trenton and House they'd be smart enough to realise the removal of b/c was going to be a silently contentious issue for early adopters and aggressively exploit the x86 catalogue (and development ease claims) in the first months to show their hardware strategy wasn't just cynical gimmicky bullshit. -

@monkman76
I never said that. I said digital. Ie I can't own the game. Merely get it through a perpetual sub or system like Steam(which isn't really ownership, more like a long rental). -
Everyone expects a console that only launched 2 weeks ago to have a catalogue comparable to a 6/7 year old console. Go figure.
Consoles launch with a finite amount of games and resources. They are meant to tie you over until the 1st tranch of post-launch games.
If this isn't enough, get another hobby? -

How is it a rental, if you pay for the game outside of PS Plus? When do you stop being able to play it?

Are you saying that you never bought any PSN-only games on the hallowed PS3? I find that hard to believe. -

And on what planet exactly do you think a remake of Defender weighing in under 0.5Gb is prime candidate for being released on Bluray instead of PSN? -

Digital purchases aren't ownership, this argument has been done to death. I thought everyone was smart enough to see the slight of hand by publishers. If in 20, 40, 80years time, you can't take the game you bought and buy a 2nd hand working PS4 and play it, you actually don't own the license/game. You just rented it for a unspecified period. -

Look, you all should know by now vizzini only deals in 0s and 1s. You fuckers are throwing 2s in and he can't understand it.

But the entire disc is still less than ¼ of a single sided PS2 DVD image and the late release was because of the massive catalogue of PS3 games launch on disc at the time. The Ps4 catalogue is completely anaemic, so they could release it by Friday on disc with flower and flow. -

Why couldn't you buy a used PS4 in 20 years' time, log into PSN (once, to download it), and play Resogun?
Why is buying Resogun on PS4 any different from buying Super Stardust on PS3?
Why am I bothering? -
@vizzini
Journey being one of the most critically acclaimed games (along with loads of extras and two other games) on a console that has a 70 million+ install base vs. an extremely niche, score attack arcade game on a newly released console.
As much as I love Resogun (highlight of the launch for me), there's is absolutely no way on Earth that a disc based release of it would be viable. Where's the outrage that you have to connect the PS3 to the internet to play Super Stardust HD? -

How the fuck can you put backward compatibility into an x86 architecture machine when the previous generation was based upon an exotic PPC architecture that no sod outside of Harvard could code on for the first year? Apart from actually including the chip in the new console and making it twice as big / twice as power hungry and twice the cost of course.
Only a complete loon would consider this.

Actually you do - it depends on who is selling. GOG.com, for example, maintain that you own your copy when you buy from them. What you seem to be worried about isn't your ownership, but the PlayStation 4's lifespan. In that regard it's no different to what has gone before.
