Xbox or Playstation (or something else)?

[MrsFogi]

So I am finally going to cave in and get a console. I have never used/had one so have no idea what to get. The main considerations are one dc wants to be able to play Mario Cart (?) and another wants to be able to play Minecraft. Other than that it would be good to be able to use it as a fun family activity sometimes (I remember once going to a friend's house many years ago and they had some sort of set up with drums, guitar etc). Also I'd love one that has a Karaoke (although that is not a priority) !
So wise GeekyMNers - what should I buy?

Mario Kart is only available on Nintendo consoles or phone. Mine raft is available on all consoles.

It sounds like a Seitch is what you're after

SWITCH even!

Mario kart is only on switch.

Welcome to a world where the consoles and decent games never seem to get discounted regardless of how old they get.
