Thought #1: He bought a 3DS?
Thought #2: What made him buy a 3DS in the first place?
Thought #3: Doesn't he have a PS3? Isn't that acceptable enough?
Thought #4: Meh, I'll just answer the question.
Get the 360 only if there's a particular 360 exclusive you're positively dying to play. Otherwise, taking the money and putting it towards the 3DS XL could be a worthwhile choice. Especially since the 3DS is going to have a huge influx of major exclusives between August and sometime in 2013. More exclusives than any other platform can lay claim to for the upcoming time period.
