  Isn't there a new xenoblade title coming out on the WiiU as well?

  Currently have a PS4 myself and the main title I can think of which has come out on the PS4 is tales of zestiria which although not a horrible game I don't think I could justify buying a console due to it.

    I second this option. Heaps of JRPGs on the Vita. Some examples: Tales of Hearts R, Ys: Memories of Celcetta, Persona 4 Golden, Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, Danganronpa. And heaps more.

  PS4 - Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest (relies on Square-Enix being nice enough to localise it, as they haven't had that view with Dragon Quest for some time), Kingdom Hearts, Tales, Star Ocean, Persona and more.

  Xbox One - Final Fantasy (excluding FF7 remake), Kingdom Hearts (only 3, 2.8 is exclusive to PS4).

  Wii U - Xenoblade Chronicles X, Illusory Revelations ♯FE (not final name). While its JRPGs are exclusives for the most part (as they're usually owned/co-owned/published by Nintendo), that's all it gets - third party titles are literally dead on the Wii U. However, there is the backlog of the Wii titles - Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

  Honestly, if you want a console for JRPGs, the Xbox One is the last console you should consider. I'd go with the PS4 if I were you. There's also the JRPGs on the Vita & 3DS (Vita is by far the one with more titles, but the 3DS isn't lacking in them either like the Xbox One is).

  Some other "out-of-the-box-thinking" options:

  1) Get another temporary casual job, use money to buy all 3 consoles
  2) Ask boss for a raise, use money to buy all 3 consoles
  3) Temporarily give up something you usually buy (eg. $3 morning coffee), use money saved to buy all 3 consoles
  4) Instead of going to Harvey Norman at this very moment and paying premium prices, wait until all 3 consoles appear on OzBargain
  5) Buy pre-owned

  PS4 it is then, I guess I missed the Kmart $349 deal, so I'll wait for another deal ob OZB. Anyone have experience with PS remote play on vita?

    Works great via direct connection between consoles via WiFi, not so great via router.

  You probably already have one, but PS3. The next gen consoles only care about uber realistic, mega graphics titles for adults with the minds of children or children who want to feel like adults. There is no variety, and there are no JRPGs. There's that Dragon Quest DynastyWarriorsesque thing on PS4, but I've never been a fan of that style of combat, and MMO's are never fulfilling to me.

  As for Wii-U, there are no JRPG's, and the console has been pretty much given up on by Nintendo and all third party developers. Fatal frame got horrendous scores, almost as bad as Order 1886. Don't get one.

  Quite honestly, the 3DS has the most JRPG titles of the more recent platforms, and it's the most likely to continue getting JRPGs in the future. Bravely Default, Fire Emblem (if that counts), a Mystery Dungeon game, Etryian Odyssey or whatever. Heaps of JRPGs. Considerably more than the PS4, considering their main draw card for JRPGs soon will be "We have a game from 1997 as the JRPG representative for our flagship console". RIP videogames.
