Disclaimer: Asking which console to buy is like asking what you should get for lunch. It is all subjective. Whether or not a game is good is also subjective. I tend to go by aggregate sites as a mark of quality in a game.

With that out of the way, I would suggest getting either the Wii U, or the PS4 over the Xbox One. Microsoft has never been much on exclusive titles. Gears, Forza, and Halo are their only IPs that regularly make above 85% on metacritic. After those three games, there is always a drought of quality exclusives for Microsoft's consoles. Sony has a twenty year track record for having a ton of quality exclusives over the lifetime of its consoles. The PS4 has been outselling the XB1 for a very long time. Having nearly double the user base, tends to attract developers to make more games for your particular system. Nintendo's Wii U already has five exclusives out that are above 85% on metacritic. Xenoblade, Mario Maker, and Starfox are all very likely to be received well by critics. If you haven't bought any next gen systems yet, then the Wii U stands to keep you busy for the longest time, with its existing library.

Oh yeah, and Bloodborne has a much higher metacritic score than any of the other exclusive titles right now. Mediocre? I think not.

So you're suggesting that a person who had the option to buy three top notch games with (two with replay value) should opt for the console with one top notch game with no replay value? I am not even adding Gears of War as I am playing it right now and the 60fps multiplayer is awesome. It definitely encourages friendly co-op with friends.


To add to what cerebralbore just said about early 2016. 

If a person buys a PS4 this holiday, they will have Bloodborne, infamous, Until Dawn, Tearaway, Uncharted Collection, Last of Us Remastered, Helldivers, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and many more quality games. Now do you think they will only buy it for the exclusives? No, they'll also buy multiplats and by the time Q1 2016 comes, they probably haven't finished half of the games they intended too buy and by Q1 2016 PS4 will Street Fighter V, Uncharted 4 and Ratchet and Clank. It's not a hard choice.
