which console is the most family orientate and isnt the wii?

i have each console but now my son wants one of his own, i dont want to just stick him with the wii, would the ps3 or 360 be the best choice for him, hes 7 years old and can easily use both control pads. i was thinking the 360 for viva pinata,banjo kazooie but also i like the look of eye pets for him on ps3. what console should i buy him.

ihum...i would say the ps3 because of Little Big Planet and Ratchet and Clank,major of 360 exclusives are shooters

ask him or just getthe onethat hasthe most games you thinkhe would enjoy.

Ratchet and clank 1 and 2 eye pet, he would love G-Force, Little Big Planet, Where the Wild Things Are, Kung Fu Panda, and all the Lego games Indiana Jones, Star Wars etc.

for a 7 year old? I would get him a PS2.

I would also go with LittleBigPlanet and the Ratchet and Clank games. And ModNation Racers is coming up.

PS3, and like people have said, for LBP and R&C series. There are also the multiplat games for kids, too.

Still, the Wii is the best for that purpose.

PS2 or Gamecube

honestly, stick him with a ps2 for now, and try to keep him entertained with it untill fall 2010, by then you can see whether ps3's gem/sphere/wand or what ever they are going to call it or 360's project natal will be any good, because if anything, the kids love the motion control things

i have mentioned too him before but hes not very sure himself he wants pretty much all the games that have been mentioned, i;ve been looking at prices and it looks like its probably gonna be the 360, its cheaper and hes really into lego and kung fu panda so think i might get those and viva pinata for him if i get the ps3 hes gonna be limited to one game abd he gets easily bored

Smart kids love Halo, Gears and COD series. If he's noobish and not too bright you might want to stick him the Wii or PS3.

It looks like you should buy a xbox 360. But it is a good choice. Buy him the lego starwars game and lego indiana jones. Lego harry potter should come out soon. Did you get him guitar hero or rock band. Young kids really enjoy those games. Also you should get him the maw he should love it.

lul. Now let's see if anyone can resist the impulse to flame this guy.

Wait until 2010, if Natal or Sony's Wand things are anything good.

I have a 3 year old and he plays my 360 the most, he loves Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Viva Pinata Party Animals, 'splosion man, and a few other Xbox Live games. Although he also likes LBP but got bored of it fairly fast. But thats just my son, yours could be different

the PSN also has games like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy for like 10 bucks each, I think...

Nintendo DS :D

Oh right consoles...my bad :P

Well the 360 with games like Lego Batman and Pure coming packed in. Also games like Viva Pinata and Banjo are available for retail not to mention games like splosion man, trials HD on XBLA

Edit: Also with Natal launching next year with it's games and motion control, I am sure he would enjoy it

I believe it's the PS3. I mean the PS3 commercial with the crazy dad proves it.ninja_where

whaaattttt :? dude have you ever been on youtube.

ps3 hands down.

what prove then just look at the console exclusives between 360 and ps3.

depends, racing games are on both consoles,

wwe games are also on both,

ps3 has rachet 360 has banjo , vva piniata scene it ,

it is your choice ,

but wii is th most family oriented trust me , theres more 4 player games on it then chinatowns got phonebooks lol ,

I would say 360, i think its more user friendly and xbox live arcade titles are unmatched

You might also want to look into PSN/XBLA games. The Pixeljunk games on PSN as well as games by ThatGameCompany are probably great for kids
