Should I get a 3DS or WiiU?
I can get one as long as I pay for it.

3DS. For sure.

Which is cheaper?

3ds, I think it's cheaper, as well.

Hm...

3DS it's a lot cheaper than a lot of consoles are at the moment. And there's plenty of advantages of a 3DS.

Go with the 3DS, it is cheaper.

Wii U

I'd say 3DS since it's cheaper and the game library is much more expansive than the Wii Us.

3DS for now

Wii U, probably would work out better in the long run.
But I've always personally preferred consoles to handhelds, so I'm most likely not the best person to give you an opinion on this subject.

Wii U

Get the Wii U, it's got better graphics, though the 3ds has better games right now, you'll regret it in the future when the Wii U has loads of awesome games like Mario kart8, Smash Bros Wii U (much better than 3ds), Donkey Kong, Zelda and much more.

3DS is cheaper.

3DS. it has more exclusive games right now, and its cheaper.

not to say you shouldn't get a Wii U, but i'd wait until that system gets more exclusives.

Wii U if you have a DS/DS Lite/DSi/XL of one of those. 3DS if you don't. Both have A game I really want: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on 3DS, and my most wanted game of all: Pikmin 3 on Wii U.

If it were a year from now, I might have been able to say Wii U with a good conscience. But if you can only have one RIGHT NOW, get a 3DS. There is a great library of A+ titles out there right now, with plenty of good ones to come.

Also, this should be in Video Gaming. So I'm moving it there.

However, considering that this person can only afford to buy one console, it's likely that they can't afford many games. So the 3DS having lots of games is kind of a moot point if you can hardly buy any of them.

Though, I suppose 3DS games are cheaper in stores. But then again, the Wii U's eshop tends to have lots of great sales for triple A games (I got Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for €29.99 on it). And Indie Games are quite cheap on it, and are top notch games.

I suppose it really depends on the users taste in games.

...Though, if you want a really fast internet browser as a bonus, the Wii U has a snazzy browser!

I really could recommend games though.

Get a 3DS, it's dope

I can only get one. Possibly. And I clicked the wrong forum
