I am clueless but don't want to listen to what he thinks he wants as he is also clueless and just parroting things he has heard!! So far, he just plays basic / free games on my iPad.
Don't want to spend a lot of money, very happy with 2nd hand but equally don't want something that's so out of date he can't actually use it.
I'm not a fan of gaming so he won't be allowed much time on it and only a limited amount of games so far mentioned are Minecraft, FIFA and Mario style games.
I'd like the ability to safely join friends' games online.
I'd be happy to plan on an expensive / new release upgrade in the next few years when it's actually important and he will appreciate the difference but I don't think his first ever console needs to be anything special as he will be over the moon with anything at this stage.
His birthday is end of June so what would you suggest please?
Any other tips at this stage??
