Hype for next gen and it has received more hype than Xbox One. In other words, it is the popular choice. Its like people buying an iphone. You buy it because it is popular, sure its a good product, not saying it isnt but popularity sells things. It's the "cool" product.
As for games, PS4 has multiplat games which are more popular than first party games. Im sure people are enjoying games like CoD, BF, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, soon to be thief, etc. Plus im sure more than a few people are looking forward to InFamous, The Order, and DriveClub.
No i dont believe it has some amazing lineup and it seems to be a universal opinion but it certainly has good games. Im sure sony is announcing more as well so my guess is it will have a good future ahead.
