Im not much of a gamer (ironically I make games for a living) but I made a bet with my kids that if the Detroit Lions make the playoffs this year I’ll buy them a system, and its looking like almost a lock to happen, so I want to get in on some Holiday deals.
This is their first non-Nintendo system so I’m a little lost on which way to go at this point in the generation cycle. For reference they’re 7 and 9 year old boys and are gonna be new to gaming that isnt based around crafting or Italian brothers. (i made them use my old NES, then SNES first, then got them a Switch a couple years back)
Drop $2500 on a gaming rig, and figure out how to lock them out of it until they spend x amount of time on some coding software learning to write code.
It’s a big initial investment, but they can get all the games they’d want on console on the pc, they can use a controller if that’s their thing, and most importantly you can use it to teach them valuable skills that extend even beyond coding.
