Ok to start I currently have a PC which I love and PC will always be my main BUT... I like to have a console I do currently have a wii u with Mario kart 8 and I do/did plan on definitly getting smash 4 but I was thinking 400$ for a ps4 at gamestop with the last of us and gta 5 and I am a fan of infamous, uncharted, ect also Dark souls is my favorite game and bloodborne is a ps4 exclusive. If I were to get a ps4 I would sell my wii u and mk8 (200$ in gamestop credit) and the money I would use for smash bundle so it would only cost me an extra 100$ So it's kinda hard for me because it's smash vs. many good ps4 games (and I could play project M on my pc)

Please help me choose

Thanks ~ Fexal

PS4 sounds like the right choice, but you don't have 500 posts... You can't create topics.

Dont buy a Ps4 today for games you want in the future, just wait when the games you want is out and you may get a good bundle. Save your WiiU. So if your main platform is PC you can wait for GTA V for PC

You can go wrong with the Wii U. You can't go wrong with the PS4.

Why would you get a PS4 now? Ps4 has no games now. You should really get a Wii U now. If you HAVE to get a PS4 you should at least wait and get it later when it has something to warrant a purchase.

He already said he's a fan of Infamous and Uncharted, and that Dark Souls is his favorite game. If all he cares about on the Wii U is Smash... he never should have bought it in the first place.

Why get a PS4 for Last of Us? A PS3 would be a better bet if you totally missed out on all that had to offer.

From your op, it sounds like ps4 might be more up your alley but the stuff you want are all future releases. If you have to settle with one, I would go buy PS4 later since its where your tastes seem to be but WiiU is better for the present imo.

Sounds like you want a PS4, so uh, get what you want? I never understand why people ask SW for advice on such things.

My opinion. If you own a good PC, a WiiU makes a much better secondary platform.

PS4 and PC will have a lot of overlap in library with the PS4 having the lesser versions of those games.

Just look at the future exclusives on PS4 and WiiU, decide which bunch interests you more, and go with that.

Ohh I'm the troll? TC has less than 100 posts and comes to System WARS for advice? Yeah no. He's either an idiot, a troll, or an insecure sleath cow looking for people to suggest he get a PS4 to help with his insecurity over buying the wrong system.

I have both a WiiU and PS4. If I had to choose just one for this gen, it would be really hard because both are beast with the exclusives. Moreso, the potential for the PS4 to have exclusives than anything that is on the shelf right now.

If you think that eventually you can have both, I'd so go ahead and get the WiiU now as it will be the most differed from your PC. If that's not an option, then I'd give the nod to the PS4 because Bloodborne will be the spiritual successor to your favorite game and it is really only a matter of time before it has more exclusives than anyone knows what to do with.

I have an crucial opinion on this topic TC. Wii U, PS4....what to do, what to do? It's easy. The thing is you need to remember...hold on, the phone is ringing.

The Wii U has excellent exclusives, of course it's the winner of this topic. Well only to those that actually like Nintendo's type of games, unlike SolidLiar. PlayStation has some awesome multi player platform games that are shared with the X1 so there's that I guess.

I have both and I don't regret it. But if you have a good PC you can wait on a PS4. Wii U has great games now. PS4 will be much more enticing in 2015.

It seems that getting a PS4 is more a question of when than if for you. My advice is to wait to see how Bloodborne does and perhaps snag a bundle next year. That gives you time to play Smash and allow prices on PS4 Greatest Hits to drop some.

Counter analysis is subscribing to PS+ and stocking up your library with free games while you can (inFamous: First Light is a free download either next month or the month after) and the possible depreciation of trade-in value for your Wii U. I don't expect it to drop significantly before March however, so I stand by waiting.

Man I used to hang out with my friend's little bro. It's the right thing to do, leading those kids to coolness.

It just ain't cool leaving them behind because of their age, that's bullying.

I have both. Recently pick up a refurbished one from Nintendo a couple weeks ago. Sounds like you like Sony exclusives but I would just wait until Uncharted comes out. I think by then, PS4 exclusive line up should be much better and it may possibly be cheaper by then.

Wii U wins for exclusives, PS4 for multiplats. If you've already got a PC, then Wii U wins for sure.

Well, Zombi U is kinda like Dark Souls (stupid, cheap, unbalanced and Technically Flawed) you could try that instead :)
