I am torn because I was/am a big Halo guy, but the WiiU is just looking like such a good purchase now and going forward with the scheduled games.

The wifey wouldn't be too pleased with three consoles, so if I have I have to pick one, which should it be? Help me GB.

How much do you want to play Halo? Which library are you more interested in? Those are 2 big questions for you.

I would play the remake of Halo 2 a lot if I purchased it, but the existing/future library of the WiiU looks fantastic.

I would probably get as much play time from Halo 2 remake than I would the whole library of WiiU games.

I can also play games with my wife, like MK8. She doesn't like when I play VGs, but is OK if we play together.

I hear ya My wife used to be that way but she really came around to it. It's only an issue if I get carried away so I have to be conscience not to ignore her and play all the time.

Well she works 3-4 nights a week from 7pm to 7am, so I definitely have my time to play. It works pretty well.

That also means I better not be playing them when she isn't working.

I only play handhelds while with my wife. She watches crap tv while I play vita/3ds/ wii u. She goes to bed early though and that's when I get PC/console time.

What if I said that if I did get the One it would be without Kinect?

Whichever game catalog sounds better to you

Also Xbone = playing by yourself
Wii U = playing by yourself and with the wife. If she's anything like my gf she'll love the wii u more than she thought she would

The Wii U is the better overall choice. They have a sick game lineup coming out too. In fact, Ruto was just announced for Hyrule Warriors today. That will be another great co-OP multiplayer game with the wife if you like some mindless hack and slash with some tasty visuals

Wait so you have a PS4?

Unless you like Halo THAT much, WiiU is the clear choice. It's the only option that can provide a wider selection of games. And there has to be something upcoming that would satiate the Halo craving.
