For most families the right console depends on the child's age, where they will play, and which games their friends play. Here is a simple way to decide.

1. NINTENDO SWITCH 2

Best for younger kids and families: plays on the TV or handheld, so it travels in the car and on trips.

2. PLAYSTATION 5 (DISC EDITION)

Better for older kids and teens who want the big PlayStation games, with a disc drive for physical games.

Younger kids

A console that also works as a handheld is easier to share and take along. Nintendo's own games are aimed at all ages.

Teens

Ask which console their friends play on. Online play with friends is usually the deciding factor.

Parental controls

All three consoles have free parental controls for screen time, spending and age ratings. Set them up before you hand it over.
