First I would like to thank you for compiling a games collection. That is invaluable information when it comes to giving recommendations. From what I gather your asking is it a good move to go to a three console set up as compared to a two system setup which will happen if your brother gets the console he desires. The answer is a resounding no.

You are probably not going to get your moneys worth. One or two of those consoles is going to spend much of its time idle. You are also at a point in this generation where you can cherry pick a back catalog. So its not as if your at the beginning of a generation where you might actually have a need to cover for dry spells. Finally you are looking at a redundant console. Not only to the PS3 and 360 share a great deal of over lap, but the 360 actually has a greater selection, and can probably provide a answer if not all most of the list you provided.

Save your money, and put it to better use. Either buy games for the other two consoles, or sit on your money until the price justifies the use. Why pay over four hundred dollars for a console when you are only going to get a hundred dollars use out of it. Frankly given the games coming out for the 360 and the Wii in the near term your not going to be shut out of having more gaming then you can handle regardless.
