Our son wants the Disney Infinity Star Wars for Christmas, but unfortunately we only have the original WII and it's not compatible..

We're looking into the WII U and an X Box 360, what is the better system, and what would be easier for a 6y/o...?

Did post it in the gaming board as well....

Xbox 360 is outdated. He will be pissed if you get that.

Get him a baseball glove instead so he'll grow up to be a real man.

The WiiU has a relatively limited gaming library. I would guess that your son will eventually be more drawn to the number of gaming options on the 360.

I recommend spending extra on the Xbox One. He is going to want the new games coming out on this for the next few years.

Excellent. Glad to hear you have your 6 year old killing real stuff instead of just simulating it.

we're going wii u for christmas, mainly so they can do the disney infinity and lego thingy.

we were eating dinner after a soccer game and one of the other parents was asking how much our kids played video games and how to get them off of it more.

she said her kid plays 3-4 hours a day.

our kids play maybe 2-3 hours a week on the current wii or ipad. tops. with soccer, hiking, hunting, school, legos, and fishing, who has time for that crap?

So precious little Johnny shite Face is important enough for you to post this on two boards but not for you to get him an Xbone or PS4?

Go over to the gaming board and ask the question. It will rank as follows

1. PC - Master Race and stuff of virgins
2. PS4 - Because 1080p baw
3. X1 - Really the best choice, they will not admit it.
4. Wii U - probably right for 6 year old
5. nothing else.
