Ps4, all the way. I was a diehard Xbox guy but I really don't care for the One at all. There are a lot of $299 PS4 deals right now, including the Uncharted Package and the Star Wars Battlefront one. PS4 has a pretty simple user upgradable HD mod for more storage space and the Playstation Plus membership has a lot of great indie games free every month. Actually, the PS4 has better indie games period and it's library of original gaming is far superior, especially with Uncharted 4 and No Man's Sky on the way. Uncharted is a cross between the old Tomb Raider games and Indiana Jones... I think Jacob would absolutely love it and you might like to play too!
I'd skip a Wii U entirely. Nintendo has a new console coming out next year. I know several people that have returned their Xbox Ones and gone with the PS4... it's pretty much a reversal of the last generation where the Xbox was winning and Sony just kept making mistakes; this time out Sony has made a great gaming machine and the One has tried to become your home entertainment hub that just happens to play games too.
