So I've made a nice little pro-con sheet
I posted this on 4chan a while ago and thought it would be more useful, and permanent, here.
-- Xbox One Pros
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw
-- Xbox One Cons
>It's a Cable Box
>Always Online DRM (I guess console gamers don't get why this sucks)
>Kinect must be connected and functional
>Non-Replaceable hard drive
>Fee for trading games
>No more renting games
>Not Backwards Compatible
>probably Costs as much as a higher end PC
-- PS4 Pros
4k Compatability with software update
Hardware actually worth the price PS have previously been
Blu-Ray
Video Game
-- PS4 Cons
Software still a Blu-Ray player
Console will probably be more expensive than previous consoles
Exclusive games (always a con guys, don't buy into exclusives, simply Sony paying people to keep it away from microsoft).
A second computer, with heavy software limits.
-- PC Pros
Many more games that are just not available on console
Mods
Graphics can be higher than console
Freedom of hardware
Also can be used as a computer.
-- PC Cons
High End PC's can run you for 3x the price of a console (however 300 is sufficient to play any console level games.
Requires a stronger internet connection
Harder to play with friends (unless networked through skype)
Thousands of Exclusives (again exclusives are always a con, but this one is almost a pro)
Doesn't come with a handheld controller
-- Wii U Pros
Zelda, Mario, Metroid, WeeGee yadayada
Very social console
Games you can play with your parents
-- Wii U Cons
Cutesy games
Exclusive game console
Odd controls
Two Separate hardware pieces
Tablet doesn't always communicate right

Specifically: Xbox: [quote]>It's a Cable Box[/quote] I don't like it, you don't like it, but some people do. It could be a pro for some people. [quote]>Costs as much as a higher end PC[/quote] This one's not something I have a complaint with necessarily, but I don't recall them releasing a price for it?' PS4: [quote]Exclusive games [/quote] Some people go insane over exclusives. I don't quite understand it, and in general I think it's a shame that gaming has becomes such a divided niche. But again, it's mostly opinion on this one. Some people like the ammunition exclusives give to them for their arguments on the internet. PC: [quote]Requires a stronger internet connection[/quote] Eh, that depends on what game you're playing and how close you are to the people hosting the server. But in general, you're right. [quote]Thousands of Exclusives (again exclusives are always a con, but this one is almost a pro)[/quote] At least it's not usually a marketing ploy. Developing for the PC is just easier, and a lot of games being released on the PC these days are from start-up companies. [quote]Doesn't come with a handheld controller[/quote] The ever-lasting controller vs. keyboard/mouse battle. That's based on preference mostly. I usually find that I need a controller more when a console port to PC is poorly optimized for the keyboard and mouse such as Dark Souls. But even then, controllers for the PC usually don't cost much. I got a 360 style gamepad for $20, and it's amazing. Wii U: I don't know anything about it, so I can't really say anything for or against it or your points on this one. I have to commend you on how you got the price of a decent PC right. Most people say something along the lines of "IT'LL COST YOU $3,000 TO GET A MID-TIER PC".
