Now that I have had a chance to play with all 3 consoles of the new gen, thought I'd give my thoughts. (including Wii U now that it can be compared)

Wii U: I had to actually clean this console of all the dust it gathered in the last few months. However, after popping in the new Super Mario 3D world, I remembered why it is so easy to love Nintendo. The game looks fantastic, and after putting in some playing time, this may be one of my favorite Mario games in years.

3rd party support sucks, but it is the cheapest console option. With games like Donkey Kong, Super Smash Bros, Zelda and Mario Kart on the horizon, and a small backlog of games like Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros and Zombi U, this is a very underrated system for the price. The lack of power may turn some off, but so far, the Wii U has actually provided some of the most awesome looking games of the new Gen with Mario and Pikmin.

PS4: The new Sony system just feels like a powerful next-gen. Love the design, love how small it is and really dig the controller. The only issue right now is games. Killzone is not a console seller and everything else can be found on PC or Xbox (or previous gen) Huge potential, but not a day 1 purchase.

Xbone - Could they have made this any heavier or more awkward? Kidding aside, this is a complicated console. It is huge, has a large power brick, you can plug your TV HDMI (or anything) into it and it also has a camera and voice control. The games I played were solid, Ryse was a ton of fun, and KI, while unpolished/unfinished, was also a blast to play.

The voice commands can be hit or miss, but I do like the TV snap feature. (Having the Grey cup in the corner, while playing KI on-line was amazing). Nothing here that can't be fixed with software updates.

Can't wait to see these consoles evolve following the next round of games.
