Xbox One, Xbox One X, or Xbox Series X, depending on what you can afford/find in stock. You'll be able to play your old 360 games on the new system, and the game pad will feel familiar.

Series X is the most current version, afaik the current games will still run on a One or One X but the newer ones won't run very well.

TL;DR: Xbox Series X

My bad, lol, It was on my feed and didn't even notice this was console. Oopsi.

For console, Xbox for me, because the Gamepass is an excellent service and the games can extend to your pc... and you can also stream games on anything... even an android tablet if you have one.

Games + Great service... Xbox.
If you don't care too much, get the xbox series S... but if you want to maximize graphics go for Series X. ;)

Cheers

You can’t go wrong with the Xbox and Game Pass, but from a purely market demographic point of view the PlayStation will get more puzzle games - although I doubt many of them are exclusives.

If you also have a PC it changes the equation but both Sony and Microsoft are also putting “exclusives” out for PC.

Since you already have a Xbox, I think a Xbox Series X is the logical next step and GamePAss is awesome, if you are the type of person that can start playing new games right away.

If you decide to go with PC and have a Steam account, then I suggest to build an all AMD system and use HoloISO (Steam OS 3).

Depends on your budget, but I’d favour Xbox right now. The Series X is more powerful than the PS5, but it’s mainly the value for money you get with Xbox games pass, it’s too good. If you’re not overly concerned about the highest spec graphics or having a disk drive, the Xbox series S is a great choice console to get you back into gaming

If you think the X is what he really wants, you could offer to pay for half of it. That’s already a huge gift! :)

If you want to keep it a surprise, you could give him a $250 gift card and he can then either just get the Series S with it or fork over the extra money for the X.

My friend has a ps3 too, and here's his problem: when he boots up a webpage like ps3xploit or even things like Facebook or reddit on his browser, it has the 80710a06 error (page can't be displayed). Any fixes for that? He claims to have tried everything. It may just be that nowadays that people use https over http, as people have browsers on their phones rather than needing a ps3 to surf the web.

From all you've mentioned the Xbox would he the best choice for him. If you're able to I'd recommend going with the Series X over the S, it's a bit more but will last longer and run games considerably better as time goes on.
