Is it worth to buy ps4 just for bloodborne ?

Bloodborne is an amazing game, and I would urge any fan of the Souls series to play it. The question isn't whether Bloodborne is worth the purchase, but whether the ps4 is. What follows is my personal opinion on the matter. From the comments I gather many people feel differently about it, so I know I'm in the minority.

I found myself in a situation similar to yours. I owned a ps3 a few years back, but I switched to PC gaming for various reasons, and got a ps4 and a new TV for BB. I debated whether to get the system on and off during the months that preceded the release of BB, and I finally caved in as the first reviews started rolling in, and sure enough, BB is one of the best games I have ever played, and the most atmospheric game since Demon's Souls. For different reasons, this feels a whole lot like what I imagine Demon's Souls 2 would feel like if it ever saw the light of day. But to be honest, I feel conflicted about having spent close to a thousand euros to be able to play a single game, because right now BB is the only game I'm interested in playing on the ps4. Sure, I'll get the new Batman game on day one, and Uncharted 4 aswell, and probably one or two games in the mean time out of sheer boredom.

The difference between the time I got my ps3, which was in 2010, and my recent purchase of the ps4 is that the ps4 is still at the very beginning of its lifecycle, and has a very limited games library, while in 2010 the ps3 already had a rich collection of amazing games. And right now, there really is nothing on it that tickles my fancy besides BB. Not that there aren't very good games, I know there are, it's just that none of them have me interested in the least.

Owning a ps4 will become increasingly interesting as new games come out for the system, but right now it's a hard sell, as it's just a 400€ or 400$ Bloodborne machine (plus the 500€ for the TV). If this were 2017, and BB had just come out, and there'd been more than 3 years of releases for the system I'd tell you: buy the damn thing! But right now, know that your ps4 may end up collecting dust in a month.
