In my honest experience, I recommend getting them a PC, preferably a desktop (so the rest of the family can use it at home too). A PC will let them develop curiosity and problem solving skills (googling, playing with config files, modding, etc), and allow them to be able to use PC’s and other technical devices without being soft-locked to the current generation’s tech disability with phones and Apps.
With respect to PS and Xbox, and other handheld/portable gaming devices… I’ve lost most of my eyesight to them while playing with my PS 1-3 and Gameboy; couldn’t see past 3 feet/1m by age 10. I wouldn’t want anything like that to happen to other kids.
