| RCTjunkie said: So I was looking through my wallet the other day and I found that I have about $250 worth of unused gift cards for GameStop. Knowing this, and thinking about this for a long time, I decided I wanted to get a secondary console to my WiiU (I'll pay more alongside the gift cards if need be). I'm not sure which one to get, though. Pro list for each one: 360: -Excellent Controller -Solid backlog of games I want to play (Halo, Dead Rising, Gears of War) -Cheapest to get of the bunch PS3: -Even more solid backlog of games I want to play (Last of Us, Uncharted, Little Big Planet) -Cheap Price -More variety of games to play with friends (none of my friends in my hometown has Playstation products) XBOne: -Friends actively play online, so I can do online gaming -*Cue Confession Bear* I actually really like the concept of Kinect -Great balance of games and UI features that I will use PS4: -Cheapest next-gen console -Promising list of games both out now and upcoming (The Last of Us, The Order) -First amongst my friends, both hometown and in college to get it (introduce variety)
Now here are the cons: 360: -The online community isn't as strong anymore -No new games after this year pretty much PS3: -Controller isn't the most comfortable -No new games after this year pretty much XBOne: -Priciest of all the options -Not many exclusives I want PS4: -Will have to wait on a LOT of games to come out -A pricy option for not having online friends to play with
And finally, some things to keep in mind: -I am also a PC gamer with an active Steam account -I want to play online with friends -My first instinct told me PS3, but after thinking for a long while, I became undecided -I haven't talked to my friends with the consoles about their imput.
Please let me know what you think by voting and/or explaining your response. It won't be the final factor, but I trust the community as a whole for excellent gaming taste and gaguing what people should have, so I will take what everyone says into serious consideration. |
You make it sound like you already have a Wii U. If there are any games you want for the system, or some upcoming ones you might want to save it for that. When more games come out for the X1 and PS4 then you can make your decision on those. The 360 and PS3 are certainly viable options, but the gift card will give you the system and a couple games so it might not go as far as you hope.
PC is great, but often the majority of PC games that you want you probably already have. If not, then certainly look into it.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
