| Bottom line | Though the new
Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive. | Despite some clever dual-screen gaming mechanics, the
Wii U's lack of compelling exclusive software and an overall unpolished user experience make it tough to recommend in its current state. | The supersize Nintendo 3DS XL is a solid portable gaming device, but its thin game library keeps it from being a must-buy for existing 3DS owners and newcomers alike. |
