If I remember correctly, there's a big problem with having GDDR5 in the RAM, especially in the PS4. There was an article on Tom's Hardware talking about the specs and they said something along the lines of the RAM has Graphics memory, which is a poor choice because it'll make the CPU calculate things slower because the memory is meant more for rendering graphics rather than calculating processes.
Also, the PS4 seems to be more like a computer in a console with these specs and features (you know, ability to connect to SSNs in an instant? I can do that on my computer while playing a game easily).
Aaaaand here's a picture of the controller:
That little screen in the middle, from what I heard, is a touch-screen and allows you to connect to facebook in an instant... so it's pretty much a facebook button. The start and select buttons are shifted to the upper right and left parts of the center section respectively, which I think would be a bit awkward to press because of where it's located. There also seems to be a microphone and speaker on the front of the controller. Everything else is relatively the same with just a sleeker look.
