I decided that its a toss up between buying a Wii U or Playstation 4 first. In theory the Wii U should be the better choice as its been out longer and its software has had time to mature unlike the other two main consoles, but apart from Mario Kart 8 and a series of games that aren't not exclusives yet, there is nothing to get excited about. The touchscreen is very novel and to be able to play games on it without a television a huge boon. There will be a Zelda game, a Pikmin 3 game, and the next episode of Star Fox but what about another Metroid?
I will wait for at least a year before looking into an Xbox One or Playstation 4 to give the market and games time to mature and come down in price. TitanFall is a popular Xbox game but has nothing new to say, and Destiny just looks and plays too much like Halo from the same developer, which I dislike as a first person shooter. The weapons in Halo are very unsatisfying to use and especially the main gun you are given at the start is virtually ineffective, and has the stopping power of a bubblegun, it is very unsatisfying to fire. The general consensus appears to be everyone will own a Wii U for the game exclusives and one of the other consoles for gaming, its just a shame that the exclusives are few and far between.
