If you're still gaming on your PS3 and don't have much interest in sports games like MLB The Show or NBA 2K I'd suggest holding off a little longer. Most of the best stuff on PS4 is local multiplayer (Sportsfriends, Towerfall) or more novelty than full product (Doki Doki Universe, Ground Zeroes). It's fascinating system but it doesn't have as much functionality as a PS3 (for example, without a regular analog audio out there's no easy way to hook it up to regular speakers, it doesn't have the HBO or Youtube apps yet, and you can't stream media from your local PC to the system - it's a substantially less all-around device than the PS3 is)
Also, when you really look at it a lot of its best games - Assassin's Creed IV, Battlefield 4, CoD: Ghosts (my friends seem to be playing this all the time), Fez, Final Fantasy XIV, Flower, Injustice, Rayman Legends, Tomb Raider, Trials, Watch Dogs, and Wolfenstein to name the ones I think look fun or know are fun - are available on the console you already own. They look prettier but that's about it.
However, if you just want to sit in awe in front of your TV screen for a day or two, grab that PS4 with copies of inFamous and Ground Zeroes and show all your friends how much cooler you are now. Sometimes all it takes is graphics; I convinced a friend to buy a PS4 after he came over to play MLB 14 a month ago, he just couldn't help himself. He had to be seeing graphics that crisp at home.
