I'd personally say a Wii U. It will have games that everyone can enjoy and is probably the best introduction to video gaming. I know two friends that have kids and both love the wii u to play video games with them.

It has free online and some good games if that is you things ( splatoon works great and Smash bros as well)

Lots of great games to chose i think Mario 3d world would be great as well as mario kart would be my highest recommendations. Also i know my friends 9 year old loves mario maker and plays it all the time.

Honestly I don't think there are any wrong answers, ps4 would be great too, but I think the colorful worlds to discover on Nintendo make it fantastic for kids ( really of all ages, I think that's why after about two generations away from nintendo products I finally went back).
