For PS4, I will expect that it will be Infamous: Second Son, and a next-gen sports game. For Xbox, I'm really hoping it's Crackdown 3 and something else unexpected.


Here is the last batch of consoles I've bought on day 1, and the two games that I feel best represented the launch:

PS3 - Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm (JPN)

Wii - Wii Sports, Excite Truck

360 - Condemned: Criminal Origins, NBA 2K6

GameCube - Luigi's Mansion,
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader

Xbox - Halo, Project Gotham Racing

PS2 - SSX, Smugglers Run

Dreamcast - Soul Caliber, NFL 2K

Nintendo 64 - Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64

PS1 - Rayman, Ridge Racer

Saturn - Panzer Dragoon, Daytona USA

Atari Jaguar - Cybermorph, Raiden

Sega CD - Sol-Feace, Sewer Shark

Super Nintendo - Super Mario World, F-Zero





Consoles I didn't get at launch

Panasonic 3DO - Crash N Burn, Total Eclipse - Got a used one about 6 months after launch

TurboGrafx-16 - Dungeon Explorer, Legendary Axe - Got one in December 1989, a couple of months after the launch

Sega Genesis - Thunder Force II, Altered Beast - Got this in August of 1990, about a year after launch
Honestly, there's so many great games coming for PS3 this year, and some great ones that have already been released, that I don't know how anyone could be compelled to buy the PS4 at launch, unless like you mentioned there's at least 2 flagship games ready for launch day. I remember back to the PS2 launch and SSX was the only game worth buying, and at the PS3 launch Resistance was the only game worth picking up. It took me 2 years after launch and the release of the first Gran Turismo game to get a PSone. It's always risky buying consoles at launch as far as bugs and glitches.
