"PS4 sold more because it was cheaper".
Way off, PS4 sold more because at launch it allowed people to play disc games offline and allowed used games / lend to friends.
People seem to forget the disaster that was the Xbox One launch, always online, no used games. They had to remove all that crap because gamers were enraged.
E3 2013 was epic for Sony:
I'm not saying Xbox One is shit, it's not. I actually plan to get one eventually, but don't spread FUD. PS4 has loads of games, in fact I keep getting free games due to my subscription to PS+
- PS4 also has the better GPU, most Xbox Ones games are struggling to reach 1080pernexbcn
- he seems to be brainwashed by microsoft... shame he didnt see sense like many xbots...cruddlebub

"All multiplatform games are basically the same on both"
Not true, most are lower resolution on Xbox One.
- lol that ol resolution argument that Sony cling to. If you care for resolution you would have a 4K PCsem
- Because this is super important to people. Fucking nerdCygnusZero4

For kids you could go with the Wii U, problem is it only gets like 5 games a year because noone outside of nintendo is making games for it. So the kids will probably get bored pretty fast. I have a U, its worthless.
- seel it to him then?
just get the old Wii - loads of great kids games.fadein11 - sellfadein11
- Wii would be the best option by far. These next gen machine are awful.CygnusZero4
- yea awful haha.

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
- sony fagsCygnusZero4
- you sir, need to go lay down for a while.cruddlebub
- i think cygnus is the youngest QBN here considering the kind of shit he postsinteliboy
- the x-box is ugly as shitmoldero

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
