Even if OP got his son a vita or 3ds, they are only going to gather dust as he will prefer his f2p games
This is the case for the most part, he's had a 3DS for a year or two already... Christmas was Fantasy Life and Pokemon and neither has been played for more than a few hours. He was pretty hooked on Fantasy Life for a few days but he forgot to save and his mom popped the cart out so he lost a bunch of progress and hasn't returned to it since.
He loves watching me play Metroid Prime right now, and has had a lot of fun in the past with Smash Bros, Mario Kart, even The Wonderful 101, for crying out loud. He loves Kirby and recently finished Kirby Triple Deluxe. But he is sometimes an anxious kid, and doesn't handle stress all that well, so I think the worry free gameplay of the mobile stuff is really appealing to him.
