So the past few hours on here have been both comical and frustrating. I've seen posts such as 'PS4 will ruin comp' and 'We're going to lose the fans'.
First of all, I think people need to remember that competitive COD was once on PS3 when Black Ops 1 was around - so the scene has undergone a change of console before, most players have come from a PS3.
Secondly, the PS4 already has a bigger casual player base - which if we look from a different perspective (Not just yourself annoyed about the change) more players on the game is more potential viewers.
Thirdly, even if the game switched to PS4 what's stopping pub players, league players and even GB players from staying on XBOX anyway - I've played since the PS4 came out, and on the PS3. And it's never bothered me that I can't join Scumpii's game whilst he's streaming I can still play GB's and I can still play ranked play. The only people who are going to slightly lose out are AM players who need to make the switch - but hey can't please everyone.
Finally, also saw posts about Pro's struggling to adapt to a new console. It will be similar to the 360>ONE switch - a step up from 720p30 to 1080p60 may be strange a first, but they're professional gamers, they will adapt like they have with the ONE. A new controller is the main flaw - although players used to play with PS3 controllers, I'm sure they won't struggle much. And even if they do, there str adapters out there that will allow them to use their SCUF's on the PS4 (see CronusMAX: http://cronusmax.com/ & http://controllermax.com/manual/Content/tournament_edition_firmware.htm )
