Why didnt they get it the first time?

The irony is strong with this one. So, you're saying that you expected people to buy a new console just when the new ones are launching just for one game? Do you realize what you're saying? You're insulting a whole lot of people just cuz you can't see things from someone else's perspective other than your own.

I take it you've owned every single console that had a game you wanted to play? If so, you are either rich or are willing to spend more money on gaming than most people can afford. 

Like I said what games swayed them to buy a PS4? They didnt buy a PS3 for Killzone, LBP, Infamous or Uncharted....or the multi platform games. Im not insulting anyone. If they couldnt afford a 200$ system, they probably cant afford a 400$ one...

People are just upset that games like TLOU, GTA 5, TR and (rumored) Beyond, just came out. I dont think anyone minds games that are like 10 years + old. Its very simple if you want less new games and more remakes of < 5 year old games keep buying games like that. It also further cements that backwards compatibility is a thing of the past, which Sony has ushered in quite well.

-edit: the poll should have an option for I dont mind older games. There is no good choice in that poll for me.

HD remasters of decade old or more games are awesomely cool, keep em coming.

and what made them buy a PS4?

We understand, after 30 posts from you, that you don't approve. Now KINDLY could you stop derailing the thread. Or do you need to hear this from a MOD?

1. Im not derailing the thread...unlike you with that comment.

2. Im having a conversation with other people...

Derailing means repeating the same thing over and over. I'm not the one doing that. Every topic about this subject has 40% of the comments by you. That's called hate and derailing.

Easier said than done.

Every generation AAA games get more and more complicated. From my experience, I've had several assignments at uni including essays, disserations, and a PhD thesis. I don't know a single person in my department who has finished their thesis on time (it's suppoed to take 3 years). When it came to simpler assignments (essays, even a master's dissertation), all my classmates and I had no problem meeting the deadlines. A PhD thesis is so complicated that it always takes longer than you think. And you can't just say before you start writing it and applying for funding "oh, I'll take 6 years. Thanks". Same (or similar) with AAA games. Just when you think that your game is working great, something is wrong with the code and you either have to start all over again or lose many days/months of work. Maybe the physics don't work as well, maybe the developers are noticing that the game is not fun and need to change something major. You can't predict some things. Hence, it's almost impossible to predict exactly how long something so complicated will take.
