My boy wants a new console for his 8th birthday.

Which would be better for him Xbox or PlayStation ? I am out of the loop with gaming these days.

Bought my son the PS5 last month for his 6th birthday. It’s unreal. Never actually owned any xbox as always been a Playstation lover so can’t compare. I just know this PS5 is fuckin class Cool

Maybe I'm an old man now but i think a switch would be better for a kid under 13, I have a PS5 and it's great but not really a kids console.

+1 for the switch for a younger kid imo. Even consider the Wii U if it's their first console, some really great games on it that still look really good for what is an older console. The Wii U games can be picked up really cheaply also.

I'd say something. One extra grand ain't bad of course, but I'm sure they will appreciate your honesty and hopefully they will remember that next pay rise\bonus round

If you’ve been working for them for 12 years, definitely say something.
