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.

If you are not going to buy more Wii U games or pre-orders then you literally will be flushing your money down the toilet.

Sorry, but someone had to say it.
