Do not buy an XBOX or Playstation if you want a console for children. The Wii U is the way to go for kids/early teenagers. If you want a console for the kid for when he reaches his teen years I would go XBOX. Thew is a broader range of games for teenagers. Playstation is fine too. I wouldn't buy a Playstation or XBOX if you want a console for now. In 4-5 years they'll come out with a new system anyways.

My boys are turning 9 in a few weeks and we are thinking of getting a game console for their birthday.    Did not know if anyone had advice on the best consoles for kids to start and grow into as they get older.  Any advice would be appreciated.

 

 

If you're looking for something that's up to date and you won't have to buy a new system for years and years, PS4... or Xbox one but I like the Ps4 personally

Don't get them a Playstation or Xbox unless you want them to turn into little sociopaths who love mass murder. 

 

 

Go Nintendo. Classic games that everyone can enjoy. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Smash bros, Mario Kart, and more are there for them to play. Whenever I have kids that's how I'm going to start them out if they have an interest in video games. Those are all fun relaxing titles while most of the other systems stuff is rated Mature. Don't be one of those parents who lets their 9 year old play Call of Duty. I'd go with the Wii U since it has a selection of old school NES, N64, and SNES games for cheap as well as all of the new stuff.

      I think taking T-Mac changes how to look at XL and the season he had, especially in retrospect. If you look at his rookie season from the viewpoint of "we traded into the 1st round to take him as our #1 WR of the future" then yea, he had a god awful rookie season and I'd be scared about his future.  But we've now drafted T-Mac, it allows us to now go back and look at XL's rookie season in a totally different light. XL was a late bloomer, essentially having only one college season of experience, he was always going to be VERY raw last year.  If we knew at the time that one year later, we'd have a true #1 and XL "only needs to be a future #2 and potentially doing it from a power slot position" then I'm not so sure he had all that bad of a rookie season. Because he still had 49 catches for 500 yards and 4 TDs, which really is a pretty darn good rookie season for a player as raw as XL was/is, especially when you consider the QB struggles we had last year, and even once Bryce turned things around a bit, we were still a run based team and Bryce's stats were anything but mind-blowing.   Personally, I think it's one of those situations where people are too focused on the negatives with XL and not seeing all the positives and potential he has given how raw he still is.  Which is where viewing him as a future #2 vs #1 makes all the difference in the world in looking back on his rookie season and projecting his future role/ability. If he's worked on his craft and cuts back on his drops, it's very reasonable to think he could be a 70 catch, 800 yards, and 5 TD type of player for us in year 3 when he's the #2 after Thielen is gone. How many teams have that type of talent as their #2 WR behind a guy putting up 1,200+ and 10 on a yearly basis as their #1 as I fully expect T-Mac to be doing? Then if Coker also improves slightly and is kicking in 600-700 yards himself, then you've built yourself a Top 5 WR room.

      Mel Kiper's long illustrious history would also indicate that neither does Mel Kiper. It's almost like this poo isn't an exact science or something and that there's a lot of different variables that go into whether or not a guy is successful. It's just that according to Mel Kiper, everyone else is an idiot and he's perfect. LOL

      Pats traded randy moss to aquire Ryan Mallett.  Insane. Guess Mel Kiper was right. NFL doesn't know how to evaluate quarterbacks
