Already got one tablet and will stick to it at least for two years. So the only gadget missing right now is a next gen console and that's what I will get.

In my case, I see some key advantages. Comparing with a laptop, it's lighter, has an amazing battery life, handy apps and is easier to use. Is perfect for when I wan't to read some news, watch videos, browsing and doesn't have all the hassle of a full PC. And a tablet is always on and ready to answer a email quickly and for reading some news. Reading is great too, better than carrying several heavy books. The price is another point, since a Nexus 7 costs US$ 200 bucks and delivers more performance and battery-life than laptops in the same price range.
Comparing with a smartphone, the size of the screen changes everything. Browsing, typing and reading are a pain on small screens. A big screen makes everything more comfortable. The battery is important too, since my tablet endures more time both in use and standby. The cellular radio on phones is a battery killer. Besides that, I don't want to use my phones battery, since I need it to call and text. In a tablet I don't have this kind of worry.
Anyway, that's specific for my case. Some people will agree, other won't. Is a personal taste case. I'm currently not much interested in a new smartphone (my Android one is low-end and the other is a mid-end WP7), because the tablet can do so much more.
