Best gaming console for 6yo

So Castro was your lover?

He should play outside instead

Xbox. Specifically made for children. All their games go pew-pew-pew and only require mindless button mashing.





















Get a Wii U from Nintendo. Relatively cheap and plenty of games suitable for a six year old including the new Zelda game. Do NOT get the new console, Nintendo Switch. A 6 yr old would easily break it since it's a hybrid console/portable system. A child drops it and you're out a few hundred bucks...plus they're not easy to find.

While I really like this answer I think the Wii U would be best. Op probably already has a gun for his kid anyway. I mean his name is infidel.

All he wants to do is be outside. He has an iPad and the only time he turns it on is to watch videos right before bed. That's only reason I considered buying him one.

sounds like you've got a normal kid. dont ruin him with video games, especially if he's not even asking for it.

contrary to your woldview, kids can play video games and play outdoors

i agree there is some truth to this, but the parents have to be responsible enough to limit video game usage. you dont have to put a limit on outside time.

secondly, the problem now is that kids are taking their electronic devices with them during "outside time." so basically now playing outside means being under a tree playing on an ipad.

Cane pole, and few corks & small hooks and some night crawlers.
