Or..Get a 3DS

Fixed, and yes, I wholeheartedly agree:)

Well, I can't afford any of the above this year, being completely broke.

However, I am disinclined towards buying the Wii U, compared to the other two. It doesn't have much to offer me, and I'm not sufficiently confident in the system's future to invest in it.

After a year on the market ... don't tell me that all of them?

i don't believe that batman comes to xbox one and ps4 but i might be wrong.

Wii U don't have third party support as PS4 and the Xbox One have.

Forget that, buy a 3DS.

Ah who am I kidding, everyone already has one.

My personal advice is quit console gaming and migrate to PC. It's what I've done over the past few years and it's definitely been worth it. Better graphics and performance by miles and you can use 360 controller for most third party games or map it using X-padder and also hook it up to your sound system and TV. This is the first gen I can think of where PC is already well ahead before the next gen is even out so consoles are really going to fall way behind this gen quickly. Games are a lot cheaper too.

games familiar to everyone but never seen before. I like my Wii U, playing it all day if I could, but senior college year is just heavy. Buying games though. Have a bunch of them, playing all of them. I don't even have the time to go back to the ones I like the most. When there is some drought for sure I am going back to them. I forgot the eShop games, i have to buy a lot of them. Maybe for christmas i will spend $100 on indie games alone.
