Why not a Wii or a Wii U? Makes a whole lot more sense. But if they insist on one of those, what are the ages of the kids? Big difference between 5 and 10 ya know?
In general though...
X-Box 360/PS3
Sonic Generations
Sonic Classics Collection
Sonic All Star Racing/Transformed
Street Fighter
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Spiderman Shattered Dimensions (older kids)
WWE _____ if they're wrestling fans
X-Box 360
Naruto Path of a Ninja
You might question the inclusion of fighting games, but I think that they work great for kids. If a kid is a bit too young for something like Ratchet, they'll wander around for a little while and give up. If a kid is too young to master 100 hit combos in MvC 3 they'll still have fun hitting buttons until something cool happens.
Seriously though, just get them a Wii, or if they already have it and are bored with it, either invest in new games, or a Wii U. Recommending a 360 for kids is like recommending the Wii to a 30 year old who loves military shooters. |
They already have a WiiU.

In that case, I highly recommend either saving up the money to be used on other games (Lego City and Game and Wario should be good choices). If they didn't have the Wii originally, then they can get tons of Wii games for like 20 bucks. Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy, Mario Tennis, De Blob 1/2, Sonic Colors, Kirby's Epic Yarn, etc etc.
Until I get finish up my degree, I'm stuck selling games for a living, and this happens a lot. Parents will buy an X-Box 360 or PS3 for their kids, and ask for me to recommend games. All I could really do is point to the Lego games and a few Sonic games that we carry. If your sister is a gamer and is going to use the 360 and PS3 and just wants a couple of games for the kids too, that's a whole different story, but if it's just for kids, I'd say it's a waste of money.
