IMO as a father I suggest geiing him a 360, he's getting older but still ONLY 10.

There is a much broader library (8years worth) of games to choose from that will fit his tastes incomparison to the much few games on the xbox one.

You can see about getting him an Xbox one in a few years. Why choose minute specs that he wont even notice over a more vast library of games that fit his tastes?

Dude, when I was 10 I read Nintendo Power everyday and only cared about the latest and greatest games.

Sure, your argument is logical, but kids don't think that way. They don't care about old games.

He won't be 10 forever. Look at the new Xbox as a system that can grow with him. He will want to play the new call of duty and so on.

Also I suspect that many of the older 360 games will eventually be available for digital download. Therefore I think it would be a poor investment to buy an outdated system that he'll be begging for you to upgrade next year.

IMHO this is correct

I traded in my sons' (11 and 7) Xbox 360 for a PS4. they liked it for about a week and then wanted their 360 back. It is all about the library of games. I believe Xbox is going to support 360 through 2016. Just keep in mind that if you do go with 360 you will probably need to get a Xbox One in about 2-3 years

Oh, and by the way. I put the PS4 in the living room for me and got them another 360
