Mods, please move if this is not the right thread for this question.
===========
I am deciding whether to buy a gaming console or not and if yes, which one? I'm hoping someone from the community can advice based on my profile and priorities.
When it comes to technology, I'm a late adopter. Also I'm not much a core gamer, but love to play some free PC games every now & then. I have 2 basic laptops, so havent played any high end games as such. I like detective/ puzzle solving/ strategy games, like Sam & Max. My son in 7yo, we play Condition Zero by setting up LAN. (I know I know its not a game for 7yo, dont judge). So coop games is something I would love too, as a dad and son thing.
Anywho, I want to spend some moolah on getting a console, because why not? Below are my priorities.
I want to mod the console, so if I cannot, I might pretty much decide not to buy. I read that Xbox One cannot be hacked, so thats out of contention?
So next, I looked for Nintendo Switch because I read thats better one for kids. But here in Canada, I couldnt find stores where I can get old consoles because new ones cannot be modded. EB games is a good site for refurbished games, but it doesnt have Nintendo Switch right now. For PS4, I read that once the firmware is upgraded, there is no way to mod it?
Thoughts, advice? If there is no way, then I dont mind waiting till something opens up. I am not hell bent on going for a console right now.
