My little sister got an Xbox 360 in 2013 and has played minecraft on it non stop. It seems to be the game for most kids play these days.

Did you know the Wii U can play 100s of very cheap Wii games too?
No other games consoles has a 5th amount of 10 year old games, and you can play Minecraft on the Gamepad.

Nonsense. £350 for 1 game? The PS4 is an adult console without a doubt.
I've had ps1 as a kid and it was great - wasn't that an adult console as well?? How do you classify console as an adult one? All of the 7 year old+ games available are for adults ? There are plenty of great titles for the whole family.
There are plenty of other games too, it's just one I've mentioned that is definitely worth getting.
I wouldn't touch wii, you get bored of it too quickly imho and it's too limited. Xbox unless you're buying one 2nd hand for £100 to save money I wouldn't touch either at this point.

And the Wii U where you can play it on the pad while the TV is freed up for something else. I guess he bought all the games on the X1 hence the stats.
My daughter has the Wii U(9yr) and she loves Mario Kart mainly, all kids that age love Mario don't they? If it was PS4 or X1, then I'd say PS4 Slim, some great deals.

One of the advantages of the Xbox One is that it can play 360 games aswell and you can pick those up cheaply.. there are currently around 250 that work and more on the way
I've never done this on any console with backwards compatibility.
Graphics move on so much between generations especially on consoles. It would be akin to watching VHS when you have a blu ray player
Minecraft is epic for them. Great for being creative. I love it too but dont play it now.

One word: "Condemned" Still one of the best detective/horror games around, and still looks good on X1.

Mine plays that on her iPad.
Yea, so does mine at the mo
Xbox and PS4 are much of a much besides a few exclusive titles which I'm not sure would matter to her anyway since she has no particualr preference. Just see which has the best offers on Black Friday.
I have a Wii U and it's great, love playing Mario Kart and Smash Bros. with my nephews. Personally though I wouldn't recommend it as the console is still very pricey despite the Switch coming in March. If you could get it for a deal then great but otherwise I would steer clear.
Wouldn't she like a 3DS or something instead?

+1
If someone else wants to use the screen for something, else then most WiiU games can be played on the Gamepad alone. No arguing over who gets to use the TV and such. Not to mention WiiU obviously has Minecraft. Probably the best version of it on console due to the gamepad alone, closest one to the PC version as far as I can tell.
