Try to expand into playing video game genres that you've never really been too interested in. While I don't agree that many games being praised are good games, Mass Effect having great dialogue but being complete garbage in my opinion, there are a lot of games for this gen you might not have tried out because it wasn't something that really interested you. Maybe games like Yakuza, Prototype, Infamous 2, Tales of Graces, Sleeping Dogs, The Saboteur, Mirror's Edge, Valkyria Chronicles, Siren the Blood Curse etc.

If you don't mind digital downloads and haven't played any of the PSX titles, there are a lot I'd recommend.

As for other consoles, I'd recommend the Vita, the 3DS XL, or both.

If you were to get the Vita, I'd recommend to purchase PS+ and the first party titles you'll usually hear people praising, like Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Unit 13, Wipeout 2048, and LBP. All of them are great games. I honestly don't thin much of anything else on the system as I don't download digital and the other games, including Persona 4 I've played on another system. There's Ragnarok Odyssey which is okay, but wouldn't recommend it personally.

There are also a lot of PSP titles worth purchasing that are playable on the PS Vita. Brave Story, Dracula X Chronicles, Resistance Retribution, Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collection, Ys series, Trails in the Sky, Gurumin, Wild ARMs XF,  Valkyria Chronicles 2, etc.,

If you were to purchase the 3DS. I'd recommend Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei Soul Hackers, Cave Story, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, and maybe Etrian Odyssey. There's really not much on it that's good either. The first party games on the 3DS aren't as good as you hear, but if you do pick any of them up, Super Mario 3D Land and New Super Mario Bros. 2.

The 3DS is backwards compatible with every DS game in your region, and most DS games not of your region. Feel the Magic, Retro Game Challenge, Contra 4, Solatorobo, Advance Wars Dual Strike, Aliens Infestation, Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest Monsters series, Phantasy Star Zero, etc.
