Advice for Dad

Hi,
I have two kids 4 and 7. Being trying to keep them away from computer games because they are addictive but now need don't want them to be odd one out so thinking say getting one and say limiting it to thirty mins a week or whatever.

So confused as to whether to get a wii, ps4 or xbox.

I like the idea of being able to play games that involve movement e.g bowling or javeline - so the wii looks good for that.

But then also wouldn't mind a decent football game so PS4 or xbox better for that I guess.

Any advice appreciated?

Buy a secondhand Wii off Adverts.ie for dirt cheap. Maybe get a boxed one for Santa Claus on Christmas morning. You should find one no bother with a rake of games. Perhaps try to buy one with motion plus controllers. Don't mind all the naff tat of plastic add on accessories.
