This has been the overall impressions of the system on all the review sites: Good hardware but no software. It is a beefed up PS3, no next-gen leap worthy step, and the games are not there. Seems like an iPad3 to iPad 4 type transition, not like iPad 2 to iPad Air type.
One of the PS3's selling point was Bluray drive, which is not a selling point anymore. It is an affordable system, and I want to see it improve its UI, XMB is hideously ugly. Let's wait for Naughty Dog magic on games side. Sony has high quality first party studios.
That webpage is beautiful. Minor nuisance was the jarring transition while scrolling onto next section it kept me taking to top of the page, but it's still fine. Well done by the designer.

I feel you could almost substitute "PS3" for "PS2" and target it at original PS3 at launch as well.
I'm guessing that Sony simply wants to get the hardware out of the door, and do software features as they go. Considering how much updates the PS3 has seen over the years, I believe this holds for the PS4 as well, but as they say in this review, for now, it's a tad underwhelming.
The launch games are getting 5/10 (Killzone) and 1.5/10 (Knack) it feels totally underwhelming. Compare with Xbox. One is a distinct leap over 360, bluray drive and massively improved Kinect. Although, I am worried for games on Xbox One too.
