I canceled my next-gen console pre-order. Launch titles do not hype me

Separate but equal!? THIS IS THE REAL TRAVESTY HERE.
Feel ya mengbro. Just not seeing a single title that makes me want drop the kind of bread they're asking.
...maybe Crimson Dragon. Maybe.

Good deal. There honestly is no real rush to get one if there's nothing at launch that interests you.
I just hope you can easily get one when you actually want one. I should think they will be readily available within a reasonable time, if not immediately or immediately after launch. There will always be cancelled pre-orders to grab somewhere, or some after launch somewhere.

I know that neither of the first party launch line up isn't as impressive but the multiplatform titles make up for it.
I've waited long enough for a new generation and I want some change. Not to mention the fact that the price ain't dropping for these consoles anytime soon.
I just hope AC4, Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4, COD:Ghosts and other titles look better than their 360/PS3 counterparts.

Give it a year, see what games are coming to the platforms and make your choice then. Right now there still isn't a complete picture on how much the new platforms will offer. Sony and MS still a fair few games to announce for the new consoles. We need to see how they perform in real side-by-side comparions. Not to mention there are so many thrid party devs that are yet to make an announcement on these platforms.
Patience my friend.

Watch Dogs
Killzone (2 and 3 were fun, im assuming this will be fun too)
FIFA

Each to their own, I'm not getting it at launch due to funds but will definitely pick up a PS4 by the end of the year, Christmas deals etc.
Wait, do we know that?

With a capable pc rig, there's virtually no reason to buy a next-gen console dayone, since the most interesting projects are multiplatform (and cross-gen).
Unless one the already announced exclusive titles is a franchise you particularly love.
I'm tempted by Forza 5 and Driveclub, but possible lack of Fanatec wheels support on XB1 and the underwhelming showing of Evolution's game at e3 are worrying me.
So, no dayone probably for me.
But you know how these things go. Impulse buy and all that.

I went through the same PS4 unveil hype about the shininess and coolness of a new console
but the games, ugh
I was always late to the party with consoles so this would be my first launch console and I have waited long enough.
It's not like he's going to play only Titanfall on that card.

I like it how the OP makes a valid point and yet people are whining about his decision almost as if they're offended.
Bwahaha good on you, gutter_trash. There aren't many launch titles that I'm interested in either.. but I think I'll still keep the launch console. I can always sell it if I really change my mind.

Don't worry, OP, you did the right thing. You listened to reason instead of your emotions.
Evolution's Motorstorm demo at E3 in 2006 was pretty underwhelming, but then the final game 6 months later blew people away, and all the Motorstorm games have been pretty awesome. I have faith until they give me a reason not to.
Nothing "smart" about it. Merely a matter of preference.

LOL check out your new tag bro.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
El oh El.. You will soon find out that GAF actually is Communist China (well a version)
OP I probably should have taken this route as well. However, in my 30+ years of gaming I've never been a 'day 1' guy. I don't want to miss my opportunity with this GEN so I'm hanging tight to my PS4 Launch edition.
EDIT: Perfectly Tagged.
I'd take the Spongebob pic down unless you want to find yourself banned this afternoon.

There are three games I want at launch and all are third party. Diablo III ( so I can okay it with my wife on the couch) assassins creed IV and watchdogs. If D3 ends up being a launch title for the PS4 I'll keep my pre order. Otherwise I'll get AC IV and watchdogs on pc.

Yup, I'm buying a probably ~$700 graphics card ONLY to play a game that my current GPU can already run. That's it. That's how PCs work.
No one should buy a console before there are enough games to justify the cost. You may save money and you won't have to deal with launch day headaches. The people I don't get are the ones who have preordered because they just HAVE to have it day 1 but are pissed that there are no games they want. Just wait and leave consoles on the shelves for those that will use them.

Amazing tag change
I can sympathize with the OP. I'm really excited about the new PS4 hardware and have a preorder, but I'm not sure if there's a launch title I really want to play.
I'll probably just get the thing and play an indie game off PSN if I can't decide on a retail launch title.

My PS+ subscription that's good until 2016 and carries over to PS4 makes my launch purchase a no-brainer, even if I don't end up purchasing a single game for the entire year. "Have you seen the Instant Game Collection collage? Conversation over!"
My current plan is to see how PS4/XBONE/PC only titles perform on PC and build a new system accordingly next year. After that I'll get a PS4 at the first price drop or redesign. By then any major know unknown hardware issues should be public (i hope there aren't any) and I can make a informed decision. The library should also be quite solid by early 2015.
