What games should I get? What features should I be aware of? I'm a middle aged workaholic, so I'm not fully versed on consols released since the mid 1990s. Although we do have a Wii and have enjoyed that.

I'm in the same boat. My wife bought a PS4 for my birthday. It came with the Last of Us which I am enjoying so far.
In my opinion, the biggest changes in video games are that the player is expected to beat the game. I remember many Nintendo games that I owned when younger that I never beat or got past a certain level. Games now are more story oriented and the designers want you to finish the story.
while that is mostly true, most games that are made by Naughty Dog (Last of Us, Unchartered series ect.) are story oriented. There are the games out there that not a lot of people beat still (dark souls...bloodborne...) and there are some that are story oriented that I mostly enjoy, which are open world games (Fallout 4 ect.) MGS V: Phantom Pain is a good one that I have picked up lately.
Also Destiny is one that I picked up the day before yesterday and I am hooked. A good change of pace from all games, and pretty fun.
