If you buy now, then as a gift for a child or for the sake of single exclusives, such as GTA5. In other cases, for this money it is better to buy a good video card for a PC. Different pros: A lot of games. You can flash and burn discs with games yourself (new xbox is difficult and expensive to flash). A developed online service, sometimes they give you free downloads of full-fledged games. The battery charge for the gamepad lasts more than a month. Different cons: The main thing is outdated graphics, almost a decade ago. Play online - for a fee. It seems that the graphics are not difficult for modern processors, but the console heats up decently, I even put an additional fan on the grill. A low frequency hum from a working DVD drive while playing (at least in GTA5).
