I would add something to it as well.
Ps2 has alot of games, and every single type of game. I mean, games like "Wheel Of Fortune", "Jeopardy" to name a few. What I am trying to say is.....that Ps2 gets everything........ so the variety is HUGE. Its not even funny.
As for Xbox.......I would say go for it, if he likes FPS games or if he is going to subscribe to XBOX LIVE. ............. Then sure........ if not. Then Ps2..........
