After some advise.
My lads 7 next month. Wants an Xbox. Obviously his choice of games is going to be different from that of an adult, but I’ll probably have a go when I can, especially with GTA coming (at some point).
I’ve looked at the Xbox S 1TB. Xbox X 1TB looks a bit more pricey, and I’m not sure if it’s going to be worth it given what hell play, can’t see anything more demanding than EA FC.
Any feedback?
Pick up an xbox one, and unleash him on that, we're in the run up to a new gen of consoles (they reckon 18 months away?) as the ps6 is on its way as is whatever they'll name the new xbox. Xbox is good because it's backwards compatible so there's a load of games you can pick up for pennies. Story goes the ps6 will play 4, 5 and obviously 6 games. Getting him used to sports, racing, shooter or puzzle games will be a good base for when he's a bit older and you can splash some big cash on a console. The new xbox is allegedly going to be a high 'premium machine'.
Nintendo is more kid centric, which is a shame because they've been a great games market contributor and having 3 rivals go to market would keep the other two fresh minded instead of focused on one another. ebay sells bundles of games for a good value, playstation a slight premium, so can pick up hundreds of hours of entertainment for ten or twenty quid. What's nuts is the official used controller market. Someone made millions of knockoff ps3 controllers and flooded the market with em. Oh and 3rd party work well on all consoles can cost hundreds.
Not sure where you can get 'Sensible soccer' now, but the original is a work of art, should be in the Louvre.
