Newcomer with a PS4
I see everyone is eagerly awaiting details of Season 2, so I'm obviously late to the party.
My wife and I both enjoy the TV series and my wife is a big fan, so I was thinking of getting her the game, beginning with Season 1 and 400 Days. So far everyone seems to think the graphics and controls are not significantly better on PS3 or PC, so I can got either way on that front, but we also have a PS4, which raises some questions to which I have not been able to find the answers:
I read TTG was trying to come up with a way for your PS3 Season 1 save to work with PS4, so I'm assuming a PS4 version of Season 2 is forthcoming, but the text accompanying the latest trailer mentions neither of the next-gen consoles.
Is the PS4 version expected to come out significantly later?
Has there been any mention of possibly porting Season 1 to PS4?
Basically, if I eventually want to get Season 1, 400 Days and Season 2 for my wife (and probably me too), which system should I go with? Should I buy Season 1 now or wait to see what happens?

Buy it on PC. I think you are going to wait if you want to wait for PS4 Versions.
Telltale has stated that S2 will eventually make it's way to next-gen consoles, but after the release of the first or second episode of s2. However, I have not read any plans on TTG bringing S1 over to next gen consoles. If you have an seventh-gen console or PC rig, I would just stick with that. The wait could kill you!
The PC requirements are low anyways.
Too bad about PS4 being behind, but thanks.
So we've got a PS3, two 4th-gen Intel laptops (no discrete graphics), my wife has a decent desktop with integrated graphics, and I've got a beast of rig. Would you recommend PS3 or PC?
From what I've read there wasn't a major edge either way for S1 in terms of graphics or control, but any difference in stability, performance, bugs, etc?
Any reason to think S2 might benefit from the power of a high-end PC, or will graphics be similar to S1?
I have no reason to think the graphics will be much better however The Wolf Among Us does introduce a new graphics engine which i assume they'll be using for The Walking Dead series 2 and TWAU does look quite a lot better then Series 1 of TWD.
Basically i think it's going to be up to you... If you want to sit on the coach with your wife and play it then get the PS3 version if you don't mind sitting around a desktop compute for a rather minor graphics boost i would go PC.
For me I'm moving to PC for this series because i don't want to wait for the next gen versions and i sold my Xbox 360 a while ago.
