I purchased mine because of the PlayStation legacy and because I was hyped for Vita remote play. I own a few games. About seven or eight, I think. I felt that the good games would come-- the "Next gen" games. On PS4, the only games I own that agent also available on PS3 are The Order and infamous. Both were underwhelming ( but The Order did show of the next gen graphics power I was looking for). The rest of the PS4 library just didn't speak to me. I mean, there are great games like Bloodborne but it's a great game in a gene I don't like.
I still don't regret the purchase but I'm not exactly in love with the PS4, yet.

I remember back during the 7th gen, it was roughly two years into it when I finally made the plunge and get a PS3. Before that, I felt the game library for the system didn't warrant a [hasty] purchase. But after I did, for some reason, the pace kicked in and great games after great games were released. Just
I think it's normal for a generation to start a little slow, as developers are still getting used to the new hardware, and many of them released games for the prior generation up to the very end of it. So, even though I don't yet own a PS4 for the same reason I didn't own a PS3 for its first two years, I'm not worried at all that great games will eventually start coming out at a good pace. And unless I end up having a crapload of money to spend for no reason, that's when I will get myself a PS4. In the mean time, my Wii U and PC are giving me what I need.

And for the most part, you're right. I remember when I got my PS2. For roughly a year, it was a DVD player except for rounds of NBA Street. If I didn't have a Dreamcast, I would have hung myself. Then one day, the floodgates opened and suddenly, there were more games than I could ever hope to play! Ico, DMC, Jak and Daxter, Kinetica, FFX, THPS3, MGS2--you get the idea. I didn't have to buy games in genres I didn't like (like I did with Red Faction or NBA Street). There were just great games all across the board!
Same thing happened for all consoles last gen, too. I'm hyped for Batman (preorder paid off!) but it seems like it's taking extra long this time. It will happen though, right? With heavy hitters like Konami and Capcom faltering lately, I'm a little nervous.
