Buying a game console
Introduction: I'm 45, I don't have a video game console, and the last video game I played regularly was Leisure Suit Larry about 20+ years ago (for the promise of pixelated boobies). I know next to nothing about video games and consoles except that the commercials for them look pretty realistic.
My son has expressed interest in us getting one, so I'm starting to do research as a potential present for his sixth birthday this autumn or for Christmas. I was initially looking at Nintendo due to what I perceive to be more family-friendly features, but it looks like they have a new console (NX) coming out next year.
Is it appropriate to get a PS4 or XBOX One for a young-ish child (and probably me and my wife)? What games would be okay for him to play?Should I wait until the NX comes out?
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
