Post by: wing commander on November 20, 2018, 12:37:47 pm
   My young lad wants a console for xmas just one of the base models xbox1 or ps4..I've had a look at the games they do for young children and it seems pretty even..What would people recommend I get?? and can you also play the older games from past consoles on them ie xbox360 or ps1,2,3 etc cheers

We've got XB1, they're shit for backwards compatibility if that's a big thing for you. Some games will play but only a specific few which are on the xbox website.

If you get the newer model, realistically you'll find that your young un won't play the older games.

  I know this is going to sound odd German but he is a massive spongebob squarepants fan..there are games featuring him on both 360 and ps 1&2 but nothing for xbox 1 or ps4...So basically it seems theres notmuch difference between them..

If it's mainly going to be for the young un you could try picking up a Nintendo Switch. Lots of good games for kids on there, plus he can use it as a handheld too. Mario games are always a good laugh. Not sure about the amount of Spongebob games on it though!

My advice don't get him one. Get him a bike.

Give him a clip round the earhole and tell him to be thankful you didn't rattle his arse instead.

I have to agree here Keith. turned my lad who was always out on his bike/scooter/skateboard, in to a self imprisoned bedroom zombie.
