In a recent interview to our friend at GamesIndustryBiz, Sony's Jim Ryan clarified that this "lack of AAA" titles for PS4 is just a perception issue, because for this new generation, breadth of fresh content has been the definitive aspect instead of hardware.

Ryan said: "Everybody can see that the big studios getting bigger and more monolithic, and there's this really interesting emerging sector at the entry level - I dread to use the word "indie" these days. That brings breadth and variety."

When asked that this lack of AAA titles for core PS4 gamers is just a perspective issue considering the fact that many games are available in different places that expectation of how much should be available at this point in the generation has been skewed.

To this Jim replied: "That's accurate, because we've done the comparison and there are way more this time. Maybe it was a bit patchy over the summer."

"I kind of get...frustrated is perhaps too strong a word, but you hear, 'Where are the games for PlayStation 4?' and there are more than there have ever been at this stage on any new console platform. But I think 2015 is going to be great from that perspective. Starting with Destiny, it'll really begin to take off."

Greatness Awaits is what they advertise.  

great·ness
ˈgrātnəs/
noun
 
  1. the quality of being great, distinguished, or eminent.
    "Elgar's greatness as a composer"
    synonyms: eminence, distinction, illustriousness, repute, high standing; More
Silly consumers thinking that greatness meant marquis titles from well known publishers and developers.  That isn't what greatness implies at all /sarcasm.
This is not a perception issue.  It is an issue of the content you are providing not being great.  Indie games simply don't fit 2/3rds of the definition or any of the synonyms related to greatness.  These customers say there are no games because there are no games that interest them because that isn't what you lead them to expect with your marketing.  Change the marketing or deliver on it.  I could care less how frustrated you are when you created the problem yourself.
