Wait seriously? I'd have thought you put the "console wars" behind you by this point what with all the obscure consoles and games you've picked up over the years. There's plenty of amazing games on the Playstation and you do yourself a disservice to dismiss it out of hand. Heck there's even alternative controllers out there if you're not a fan of the feel of the stock controller. You can still get the console and a chunk of amazing games for cheap. For example, if you want to try out some platformers, knowing that you aren't a fan of the Crash series, try Crash's best bud Spyro's games on for size. They're collectathonish games with excellent controls.
I know that JRPGs aren't your thing either, but if you enjoy strategy games which you seem to, Come to Ogre Battaaaaaal, and Let Us Cling Together in Tactics Ogre. Final Fantasy Tactics is Somebody to Love and you can Do the Fandango in Vagrant Story if you're up for a very unique and well written take on turn based combat with strategic location in the field as a focus.
Megaman X4 is, to me, the very best of the X series. Metal Gear Solid is a classic worth experiencing, but I'll admit that Twin Snakes functions as a total replacement to that game. Megaman Legends 1 and 2 are pretty good games in themselves. Oh, and I can't forget Intelligent Qube, a platformery puzzle game. There's Silent Hill 1 which kicked off an amazing franchise. There's the Point Blank series, which is "What if Warioware, but light guns? Also we did it first!"
There's two amazing Castlevania games. Castlevania Chronicles is one of the best of the classic style games where you go level to level (it's a remake of the first game, much like Castlevania IV), and Symphony of the Night is.... it's Symphony of the Night!
There's a lot more out there too! Anyway, you really need to pick up one of those to add to your collection.
