To argue that there will be nothing new on it, even if it doesn't have a significantly different controller design, and only upgrades on the technical side of it seems a little foolish.
I agree on this point. There's always something more than just improved hardware.

I disagree on this point. A smart PC buyer can maintain a decent gaming PC for as much as paying for a console. And the PC gaming environment is always evolving and adapting, while consoles are only limited to the hardware of the current generation.
And of course, there's just some things you can only do on the PC that you can never do on the console (unless you do some hacking around).
That said, I wonder why Sony is announcing this now rather than at E3?
