Why is the PS4 hype crazy? Because the PS4 is the truth!
But seriously speaking it is due to a longer than normal generation leading to greater pent up demand. The console that the gaming market prefers usually tends to dominate in every sense. The Wii in my opinion was the exception not the rule where it sold the most hardware when the motion gaming craze took off while receiving minimal third party support which was split between 360/PS3.
We can see that with the exception of Gen 7, Gens 5,6 and 8 are following a similar pattern in that a single console dominates in hardware sales and receives overwhelming third party support.
On a personal note I am very relieved to have bought my PS4 at launch here in Australia as it has been out of stock since then. I bought it mainly for the promise of future great games especially infamous of which I am a great fan of. But looking back even though I haven't been playing my PS4 as much as my PS3 lately it was a great choice because it would not be easy to get my hands on a PS4 before Infamous second son releases.
