It's been a long time since a console actually launched with a "killer app". I think the Dreamcast was the last one that had a must have title for me. I've still purchased several new consoles at launch or near it, though. The last two were the Vita and the Wii U. I had the new features of the console plus the ability to play my older libraries on them while I waited for the consoles to hit their stride.

With the PS4 and Xbox One, there simply isn't anything that I want to play on either that would justify the price. If you could see how long my PS2 or PS3 gathered dust before finally having a game that blew me away (Metal Gear, both times). If I had an Xbox 360 before Gears of War, I'd have been pissed.

Long story short, I've learned to be a little more patient. Had either console allowed me to play PS3/360 titles, I'd be all aboard. Now, I have to wait to be wowed.
