So are you looking to purchase a new system based on this?

Yeah, but it's going to be for a 9yr old that is not huge on electronics. Except recently with minecraft. My point is, I'm sure we'll pick up other games here and there but he's years away from any of the really cool stuff that either system has to offer.

I'm guessing the basic console for either system will support minecraft just fine huh?

And by pe version, do you mean PC?

No, pocket edition. The version on the iphone/ipad's. There are limitations to what's available on that version for obvious reasons.

microsoft bought minecraft not long ago. which makes me believe going forward the brighter future for minecraft is on the xbox.

that's if you want to go with the console version. which the console version is more user friendly than the PC version. but the PC version is definitely the best version.

All of his friends play on xbox or playstation so I'm sure that'll be enough for him.

So if I went xbox, he wouldn't be able to play multiplayer with playstation buddies right?
