Guys and gals, I need some help Christmas shopping for my kids...

I have a five year old boy and an 8 year old girl. We're looking at consoles and trying to figure out if we should get the PS4 or the Switch. I've no idea which way to go. Any tips?

Thanks in advance for any advice, it's much appreciated!

Actually there are a ton of games for the under 10 crowd on both PS4 and Xbox One. You just have to go their online store and filter it. You will be shocked by how many there are.

Maybe this is older-school thinking, but for most of my life, I think if the question is younger kids (pre-teen or below), the answer is "Nintendo".

Thank you for your responses. It's very much appreciated. We're leaning Switch, but I'll see what PS4 has.

Tried to talk my 7 year old son into wanting a switch, he has zero interest. Take that for what it's worth.

Re: Guys and gals, I need some help Christmas shopping for my kids...

I have an 8 year old daughter and she loves her Nintendo Switch. She loves the handheld aspect of it. She doesn’t have many games but tends to play the LEGO games until they are worn out. Lol

She does play some games on the PS4 but the Switch is her system. One of the best things I ever bought her. Hope that helps!

Get a ps4. Gift for them, but you use it more lol.

Seriously though, if you're gonna use it too, get ps4. Though if price and other things will be a factor, look up cost of both, including games and so on. And look up the games you'd think they'd wanna play on either to see which is better value.
