I don't think there is an age requirement for fun and games. They have games out for all the systems that are for four year olds. My daughters first game was the game boy and now she has the gameboy advance. She likes the gameboy advance and at age sixteen still plays. You may want to take him to a store where he can actually hold the game system in his hand and see how he does with it. You don't have to tell him that you are going to buy it for him you can make up a story.

I personally prefer the DS. the controls are easier, and I think they do more games for younger age groups.

I think that could be a good gift as long as he can take care of it. Of course, I was 6 when I played my 1st system. I think it's a good if he's interested in it. You could try the DS and see how the games are with that. Check out both game libraries and see which would be better.

I don't think that there is any age limit of video game systems, maybe on which games you give him to play in it, because some of them can be really graphic and violent. I personally prefer Nintendo over PSP, I find the games easiers, I like the Mario games, I don't know your child obviously but he might like the nintendo better because of the cartoon-like graphics, then again I have barely ever used a playstation so they may have games like that, that I've never seen. One thing you might want to do where he is so you in also get that thing that makes the screen bigger and easier to look at because if he loves it and gets hooked on it, staring at a tiny screen all the time from such a young age might hurt his eyes.
