adaliabooks: I love it as a console, but I haven't really used it much as I've not been able to afford games since getting it (or more accurately, since getting involved on GoG I've begrudged paying the prices for console games). There are quite a few games I would like, but just haven't been able to bring myself to buy them... I'm considering getting a subscription to a rental service though.
I would definitely recommend a 3DS. Great little handheld with a fantastic library (particularly if you include the DS titles too), mine's mostly getting use at the moment for freebies (Pokemon Shuffle, which is surprisingly addictive for a FTP title) and Link's Awakening which I got from the Stars Catalogue thanks to the donation of some points from a kind member on here.
Yes i know the console games prices from my PS3....well i think take a deeper look into the games they have. The 3DS might be interesting for the way to university though...
GreenDamsel: Well, I didn't buy it solely for multiplayer either. You can enjoy some games alone such as Bayonetta 1 and 2 (Both are amazing titles). But afterwards I don't go "Hey let's look for another game I can buy to finish on WiiU". It's more like "oh hey this looks interesting let's buy it." and that rarely happens as All the consoles do not have as many titles as the PC does. It's just about probability and good marketing with me.
I forgot about those games. I wanted to play the first one on my PS3 but that version apparently has/had some technical issues not present in the 360 version...as i said above i think i have to look into the games they offer physically and digitally.
Thank you both for your answers :)
