why would you buy a new console at launch?

I buy it for the tech. I've only gotten two systems at launch. The Wii and the PS4. The Wii had a great launch title in Zelda (despite it being a gamecube game later), and the tech was brand new and hadn't yet devolved into the waggle-fest and minigame mess that it would later. The PS4 just looks so damn pretty. And Killzone and Knack provided me with a couple of really fun weekends, with the promise for much more later.
