I have all three. I think I have the most fun on my Switch. I’m surprised he wouldn’t want one given the games he likes are all available on the Switch (and two of them are only available on the Switch). The downside is the online play is lacking.
The PS4 and Xbox One really come down to preference. I prefer the PS4, I find its much easier to navigate the menus, the store is way better, and the controller is much more comfortable. The PS4 also comes with a mic included and the Xbox One controller that comes with the system still requires batteries (somehow). If he’s fine with either I would easily go PS4, but what the others have said about what his friends play is really the biggest factor. At the end of the day you’ll get a very similar experience out of either console.
Both systems are going to cost $69.99 for one year of online, and I’d imagine you’ll be the one to pay for that so don’t forget to consider that.
