You want to buy the game for a 7yo boy?
It's better if you get him a PSP, it's easy to use, the games on it are also relatable and easy to understand.

Trust me, get him Xbox (I actually grow up playing Xbox and I turned out alright lol).

With Xbox, you don’t need to hack it and you can get loads of games he can’t finish even if you allow him play 24/7. The best part you don’t even need to spend buying games.

By the way, I believe Xbox is actually better than PS - (1) Build quality - it takes a lot to smash Xbox. You can throw it down a three storey building and I bet you it would still be working
(2) GamePass Subscription: currently the best. I don’t need to say more.
(3) The Xbox of each Generation are more powerful (graphics, processing speed) then PS of same generation……..

Regardless of all these facts, human preference always varies so some people would argue with their life that PS is the way. Talking about human preferences, you should get your son what he wants after all Xbox is cheaper than PS.

You are on Point bro.

I have both PlayStation 4 and Xbox one S I literally bought the two consoles almost at the same time

My Ps4 is now faulty (it is now always popping up THE PS4 IS TOO HOT AND SHUTDOWN) But my Xbox One S still stay GIDIGBA , no fault what so ever since I got it

I own an xbox one also, it's generally reliable that's a known fact but it cost a lot to own an xbox in Nigeria due to the price of the games and data needed to keep it running, sometimes it asks for an update of 4gb just to connect it to the Internet which I always find annoying.
For example where I stay we don't have Ntel or other services that offer unlimited data bundle so I've to use glo which is pretty sloooow for downloading.
Also a used xbox one discs doesn't work on most consoles, you've to watch a lot of YouTube videos for hacks which may or may not work .

I don’t understand what you mean at the bolded. Are you referring to those days of PAL and NTSC that was a million years ago though lol. You can buy original xbox CD from anywhere and it would play on any compatible xbox console (of cuz you can’t expect to play xbox one CD on an older generation console like 360 but new generation console can play ALL old generation games).

The CDs I have some of them (like 2) were traded from a friend. They still work. Apart from that in the past i have borrowed various xbox one CDs from friends to play for while, they all worked.

The only major constraint is data, if data is not your problem xbox is amazing. Another option is that you can copy games from your friends’ xbox using external harddisk (if you have the same model - one s to one s, x to x etc you won’t even need to update it).

About Price of games - all you have to do is subscribe to GamePass. Even PS is trying to copying this cuz they are realized it is model for the future. Right now Gamepass has an anniversary promo $1 for 3months . N600 for a library of over 300 games that ain’t expensive. Buying the games would be expensive and you don’t have to do that.

I live in Nigeria apart from data (even without xbox i need it for work), xbox costs me almost nothing.

[b]I meant most "used" xbox one game discs don't work on other xb1 consoles, from what I've noticed so far,[/b]but like you said if data is not your problem xbox one is pretty good for your gaming needs.

Basorgking:
can you sell me your console?

brainhack:


@ the bolded, I even google it. I didn’t find anything. I know so far the CD is original and not damaged it would work on any xb1. Like i said I have played many people’s CD and they have played mine. If the CD ain’t damaged it would be a problem with your console.

BlaqFaze:
used Xbox disc will work on every damn Xbox console... Xbox even has the best backward compatibility i.e you can play Xbox one games on Xbox series x...a PS4 disc won't work on ps5

Angel55555:

.

BlaqFaze:
lol, Bro stop taking us back to 2013, Xbox can be played perfectly offline without any internet connection

brainhack:


First sentence in your screenshot there is the word “was”, it never happened,

Second sentence you can play offline if you own the CD, even if you have game pass; you just need to validate that it’s active by connecting to internet less than 3mb would do. If the game has an offline campaign you can turn off internet and play it offline.
Noted

Bruh this 2022 xbox is free everything you claim

Angel55555:

I did not say you can't play offline, my console is offline rn. Most xbox one phat use DRM so to play most used disc games you've to take it online first or have the digital version of the game installed on your xbox then once you put in the game it would install automatically without bugging you with "installation failed".
I stand to be corrected

I think Xbox is very rugged. I had both ps2 and 3 and I don't don't have them anymore. My Xbox 360 has been passed down to my 8 year old son. Games are abundant at 2k each (foreign used) at computer village ikeja.
I barely have time to play anymore.
