The launch period has kind of sucked since the N64 (which had the last amazing YOU NEED THIS CONSOLE launch imo).
I mean the Wii only really had Wii Sports, the 360 was pretty meh with Rare putting out less than stellar games, the PS3 had Resistance (a series that only found greatness in it's final installment) and MotorStorm (which was fun but very basic). And the GBA? All the good games were ports (except KuruKuru Kurin - but I think that was JAP and PAL only).
There's pretty much no reason to buy a launch console anymore except for that awesome "Ohhh shiny and new" feeling.
Though you do have have Killzone, Assassin's Creed and Need for Speed. Only one of those is an exclusive but you still have a good FPS, a great racer and a solid adventure game. Which is a reasonably strong set of launch games if not very next-gen only.
Oh and Resogun - which is really the only game that should have made you get a PS4 at this stage.
