For that age, Nintendo switch. It’s also cheaper.

Xbox has more games geared towards younger ages and role playing games, which are good for younger players.

Hmm I don’t think one is better over the other for his age, I think as they get older it’s a matter of whether their friends are on PlayStation network or Xbox lol, a lot of the newer games and becoming inclusive tho and you can play with people on different networks. I’d prob just got with whatever you can get a better deal on if he has no preference. If your buying the newest id go with ps5 over the Xbox, we have it and everyone I know who has Xbox prefers the ps5 over the new xbox don’t ask me why because I don’t know anything about it lol.

Either one but Nintendo is more suited for younger crowd IMO.
