I am thinking about buying my kid a really good console. Until now it was so that I and my wife had a firm attitude not to buy our child a console until his 12-year-old. Now that the time has come, we have decided to keep our promise. Since we as parents are not well versed with such things, I decided to ask the question here and get some suggestions from people who know more about these things.
What do you think which console is good for a 12-year-old kid?
As others said buy an older one. A friend of mine got a good deal on one console online with some 30-40 games. Don't recall what console it was, but the kid loved it. (It came with GTA, but he put that one on hold until he is older).
I told my nephew that I'd sell him my nintendo 64 with 12 games for 25 euros. He saved money from his allowance and we made the deal. Of course after that, behind his back i gave my sister the money back for her to put in his saving account. It's good to teach kids to save money for things they want for entertainment. He loves the console and when I go over there we have a blast with Mario Kart.

I would wait till November for Playstation 5
To buy an overpriced new console with 1 or 2 games way too advanced for a 12 y.o? No. By the time the kid really games, he will want the new playstation 6 or 7 lol.
Off Topic: i noticed you asking me about Portugal on a thread I lost, but better is to PM you when I can, to not derail. Do you remember what thread it was?
