hopes: 

a simple name, playstation 4 would be fine.  none of this 'orbis' crap.
one sku.  just put a 500gb hdd inside and keep it user replaceable.
taking notes from the ps vita and using commonly found components instead of spending too much on development.


fears:

all of this will be ignored

The game discs don't even really have anything on them, they're just there to start the download process.

i agree with all of this, and i have a few additional and totally unrealistic hopes of my own

-backwards-compatibility with all previous home playstation games, both those in disc and those in digital format
-ps3 streaming service enables physical ps3 games to be recognized by ps4 and subsequently streamed to it
-at least the online features which are currently free remain so
-no drm more restrictive than what we currently see on the ps3, still allowed to play used games, no persistent online connection necessary, etc.
-reasonable price tag
-no wii u-emulation via vita gimmicks
-no increase in the msrp of new games
-no pseudokinect nonsense
-2014
