I want to make one thing clear. The preview is scary and it's done well, far better than most games that pretend to be subtle but aren't at all like "Outlast", but it has yet to be shown just how well they'll accomplish telling a deeply personal story to truly capture the nature of Silent Hill 2. There's hints of it, and it was a preview, but it bears saying.
Also, yes, the PS4 as of right now is still not a system I can recommend. I still spend most of my time playing the Wii U and 3DS. Metal Gear Solid V looks like it'll be amazing (Ground Zeroes, as poor a choice as it was to sell such a "prologue" as it's own game, is still very impressive for what it is), so that might sell you on it too (it's also a XBox One game, but frankly I can't recommend THAT system either right now).
With disappointment after disappointment early this gen (Destiny, Assassin's Creed 4 (should have been a pure pirate game without any of the Assassin stuff forced in, I want to use my CREW!), Titanfall, and numerous other "killer" games have all been disappointing in the online reviews) I must say Konami is practically CARRYING the new gen on hype alone. Let's hope these two games live up to expectations and we don't get another Lords of Shadow 2 on our hands.
That said, I still recommend the Wii U. As I've said, that system's seen more play than either of the other new gen consoles in my house, and even the big review sites are admitting that there's PLENTY of good games on the system now.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
