Graphically speaking next gen starts soon.
I have a place picked out where I am going to put it, I even have a HDMI port awiting for it. No games though.

1080p COD with frequent framerate problems. PC is next gen.
Graphically speaking next gen started years ago on the PC. Granted, few games show it because they're designed to play nice with the consoles.
Don't get me wrong its great the PS4 & that other machine are coming and all but there's not much to be excited about graphically that I haven't already experienced.

Hmmm.

Well generations are only about consoles so yeah.

Exactly, which is why there's no bracket for next gen graphics and thus the gen started last year. 
GI on how Twitch streaming works on PS4:
We had a look at how Twitch will run on the PlayStation 4 today at Sony's event in New York City. While the interface looks familiar, it offers streamlined usability not before seen on consoles.
If you've ever streamed from a console to Twitch and want to monitor the comments, you know you need to use a separate screen to watch the chat. Not anymore.
The Twitch app on PlayStation 4 smartly places the chat feed on the right hand side of the screen. Not only can you see how many are watching and subscribed, but you can see everything being said about your performance right on your television. Additionally, if you have the PlayStation Camera, you can add that to the stream.
You all better watch my streams. I expect you to watch all day. 
Cool facts of the UI from Kotaku

Straight from my notebook, here are a few cool things you should know about the PS4's interface
You can have two groups of PSN friends: regular friends and "true" friends. To be true friends, or BFFs, you both have to agree. Regular friends will just show up on your lists and games by their handles, but the machine will display true friends' real names, so you don't have to keep remembering that SexCowboy77 is actually Kirk Hamilton
Multitasking is super-easy. If you double-tap the PlayStation button on the DualShock 4, you'll swap between your last two applications. So if you play a game, then pause to look at your friends list, it's easy to switch back to where you left off. No saving required. This is the future!
There's a whole hub for broadcasting. This is a system built for sharing and streaming—Sony's so into this stuff that they even put a share button on the controller. The PS4 will automatically record up to 15 minutes of your gameplay, and you can edit/trim that footage using a snappy interface that seems to work well. (We didn't get our hands on it, but we'll have more definitive thoughts when we do.) You can also broadcast live gameplay on Twitch or Ustream, and you can search for keywords on the system's broadcast hub to see what people are sharing at any given moment. This could be big.P
The homepage shows what your friends are doing. You'll see things like "Stephen just started streaming Knack" or "Evan is playing Killzone: Shadow Fall." You can interact with your friends from that page.
As you download a game, you can start playing it before it's finished. It'll take a bit—an hour at most, lead architect Mark Cerny says—for the system to install enough data for you to start a game, but you won't have to wait for the software to download completely—which is good, because these games are big. Different games will allow you to prioritize based on how you want to play while they download—Call of Duty: Ghosts, for example, will let you choose whether you want to start playing single- or multi-player, and then you'll download the bits accordingly.P
You can watch Netflix without a PlayStation Plus subscription. Okay, so this isn't a fun fact about the UI, and really, we already knew this would be the case, but it's pretty damn cool that Sony isn't locking this stuff behind a paywall. On Xbox One, just like on the 360, you'll need Xbox Live Gold to use Netflix and other media services.
The machine is designed to stay in stand-by mode. And it'll charge your DualShock 4 while it's resting. FINALLY.
Will you be my true friend?

You want to set up a game night do it here. Want to share a stream you are doing, do it here.
I just picked up Killzone and NBA2K and I may get two more. I have my system all ready to pickup on midnight, I cannot wait!
