Well, I took the plunge. It's going to be a PS4. More specifically, the bundle that includes Fifa and Minecraft, as these are the two games they want to play the most, and are unable to do so on the ancient laptop reserved for their use.
Although there is a huge list of games for the PS3, I never hear about any of these games when they go play their friends' PS3s, except for Battle Royale. The comparative lack of games for the PS4 isn't a problem, as the Wii U is getting some heavy usage, and having taken more time to compare PS4 and Wii U features, a PS4/Wii U combo will pretty much cover everything we want, gaming and entertainment-wise for some time to come.
Thanks to everyone who posted their thoughts and advice in this thread. Much appreciated!
