Is there a best console for coop?

As title asks, is there a "better" console between Xbox or PS for local fun coop games at all? My partner think it'll be fun to pick up and play some funny games for the hour or so we get spare a night etc lol.

it depends on the type of games you to play

you can choose the console based the games you like to play

and wii u isn't that good if you look at it's line up compared to the other two

Cheers for the link.

Tbh I've not touched a console in years, but we're just looking for fun, silly games we can play together or against each other. Games like overcooked for example.

As above Nintendo switch looks to be the best bet, I'm really missing the LAN options from these current Gen of consoles meaning you need the internet to play. Currently have a PS3 and a PC gaming rig both which have loads of LAN and same room playing options.

Prefer inviting friends round and playing in the same room. We were playing 4 player bomberman yesterday haven't laughed so much in ages!

Definitely sticking with PC gaming and Nintendo switch next year.

Would you say a ps3 is still worth it for couch coop? I do have one somewhere in the house lol.

Ok, thanks for the responses so far folks.

Would appear my options then are :-

Wait for Nintendo switch.
Dig out my old PS3, buy 2nd controller and use this for now.
Build a SFF gaming machine for under my TV (most expensive option though)

I did try stream streaming today, but appears over WiFi not very good haha.
