My son is turning 11 next month and is wanting one of the above (not both). He has a Switch currently for about 2 years, but seems to play on it less.

Most of his friends have either of the above. Thanks in advance..

Really need to find out what system his closest friends game on, may be best to ask your son. May have to put on your detective hat and do some sleuthing if you want to keep it a surprise. If you do go XBox, spend the extra money and get the Series X

Whatever one is cheaper or find out what his best friends have. Which is probably the best answer

Xbox 360 is ancient technology. You might as well just get him an Atari.

Most games are cross platform these days, meaning you can have a computer, Xbox, or Playstation and all play the same game together.

Like others have said, look into what game or games he plans on playing and see what his friends have.

If you go Xbox, do not buy the cheap one. The hard drive fills up super fast.

The 500Gb XboxS is a hell of a deal and if his friends are on Xbox, this is the only answer

ONLY if his friends are on xbox, is this an answer. That thing sucks otherwise.

I agree with people saying Xbox series X. Got one for kiddo a few months ago and he loves it.

I would say X is overkill in this particular situation, S is fine

XBox 360? That's some old shite!

At 11, get him the latest model of either. If you can tell what he or his friends prefer, go that route.

Definitely not the Xbox 360. Probably over a decade old platform. At that age, most kids have the Xbox. Get the cheap version, XBox Series S.

What games does he play?

Depending on game. Lots of crossplay so it doesnt matter but some dont crossover.

But yeah. What does his friends have platform wise? Also xbox series x is the best one

To hear my kids talk, it's the opposite. All of their friends have the PS5.

Another vote for figuring out what his buddies want or have.

Reason being, much easier/possible to pay games together on the same system.

A nice setup to add is a keyboard/ mouse combo if he plays FPS.

He'd get the hang off it amd kick his friends asses.
