I'm not into gaming so I know nothing about consoles etc. I have two sons, 3 and 5. Whats best for them. 5 yr old likes mine craft, what ever that is. Is xbox the best? Or PS? or DS? Or any other letter combinations?!
Thanks

PS4 has currently sold over double the Xbox One, I'd keep that in mind that in a years time some games wont be being released on both platforms if that trend continues.
- because sales matter to 3 year olds. lmao idiotCygnusZero4

Just buy a 2nd hand Wii for kids of that age - PS and Xbox not really that demographic.
- All kids love Wii and cheap as chips now. The old one I mean.fadein11
- true... but minecraft isn't on the wii. i have a ps4 and my 6 year old LOVES playing minecraft on it.cruddlebub

The PS4 is a better system than the Xbox One technically, it's a much higher build quality, stronger graphics hardware, Controllers have rechargeable batteries as standard, no stupid power brick hanging off the back.
All comes down to games though, if you're 5 yr old likes Minecraft then keep in mind Minecraft 2 will be an Xbox exclusive (They're betting the whole system on this basically) but that wont be out for at least a year or maybe two seen as Mojang were not developing it yet. Although Minecraft is currently available on both platforms.
Wii is great for kids too if they're into Mario, if they're not then there isn't much else on the system for them.
- Microsoft have more money for dev's and will always end up with more games like last time.sem
- Plus you forgot Halo series, Titanfall , Rise of the Tomb Raider etc over Minecraft.sem
- ps have some really strong exclusives... uncharted series for one is incredible as is the last of us.cruddlebub

Go to CEX and get a Wii, great for the kids and cheap as chips. If they don't like it then think about spending proper money on a new console. Wii's are great though.

we have a wii, just gathers dust, they prefer the iPads but like the idea of playing against their mates online
- I can't imagine what games you'd get for 3 and 5 year olds on the next gen xbox/psset

3-5 yo kids will break shit so don't buy expensive stuff. They don't care if you paid $500 für an xbox or $100 for the wii.
Nintendo has the most and best kid-friendly games and the wii has some games you might enjoy too. I'd get them a used wii with a bunch of games.

Microsoft now owns Minecraft, more than likely any sequel to Minecraft will be Xbox exclusive now.
- This, but will they still be into minecraft when it eventually comes outanimatedgif
- It won't be exclusive. They promised!!!monospaced

yea maybe I'm giving in to his 'all my friends play mine craft online' thing too easily. I reckon an iPad is a good move though as a versatile / semi educational thing

Nintendo had loads of the best selling exclusives of the last gen, they are a no brainer for young kids.

Wii U + Super Mario 3D

my 6 year old has been great with my ps3 and now ps4 whilst he's been growing up.
he loves minecraft too and plays it constantly on the ps4, and when he goes to bed he can play it on his Vita via the link between the ps4 and the vita, which is amazing.
but realistically its down to what they want. both consoles have exclusives, ps has a stronger lineup for the future, is, as others have stated, the more powerful machine which will make a difference in the long term.
budget is also depending?
wii's are cheaper but dont have minecraft i dont think? i may be wrong.
- when I send my 6yo to bed he'll be better sleeping than playing minecraft on a fucking vita...mekk

I would get an X1 over the PS4. Look at the game list, the PS4 basically has nothing going on until holiday 2015, but the X1 has quite a bit going on this holiday and beyond. All multiplatform games are basically the same on both, and sales do not matter.
The X1 is selling faster than the PS3 and 360, and the PS4 sold more because it was cheaper which isnt the case anymore. PS4 is good if you like sales, the X1 is good if you like games. Check the game lists on wikipedia.
- not sure if trolling but these facts are way off... sold more because it was cheaper?? not sure thats the only reason.cruddlebub
- Cygnus is a massive xbox fanboy lol, "ps4 has no games" hahahaernexbcn
- X1 is selling faster than than the PS3 and 360. lol at this argumentbrandelec
- It actually is selling faster. Do you have the internet? Btw, I own no microsoft consoles.CygnusZero4
- Looking at the games the ps4 has lbp and driveclub this holiday. Total shit.CygnusZero4
- The X1 has FH2, the new insomniac game and 4 halo games. Yea pretty sure the ps4 sold more bc it was cheaper.CygnusZero4
- Plz explain why the PS3 got beat by the 360 for 38 straight months, Na, price didnt have anything to do with that.fucking clownsCygnusZero4
