Another console of course.
Because kids are fickle. They want a ps4 to play with their friends and they get another console they're not gonna be happy as they'll feel left out. They'll still want that ps4 which is an unnecessary cost for the parent.
I'm not just talking about the US where most friends circles will be split between Playstation and xbox. Many countries have massive ratios in favour of Playstation. It's utterly obliterating the competition outside the UK and US.

I don't see it being an inherently bad thing to gift your child a different system at all, only the super and over competitive people care about that, if everyone did then only one system would exist each gen which of course isn't the case (thank god).
Not all kids are as fickle as you claim them to be, it's easy to call them indecisive or stupid but not all of them are generally speaking, I'm seeing kids sing tablets and phones at younger ages than my generation was years and years ago, next door neighbours kid I've known for years got into PC gaming at age 11 because I played Age of Empires III with him, built his first rig at age 13 and now he's 15 with his mates mostly into both consoles and PC's, his lot weren't so fickle and it's proof that all kids aren't. Also throughout the years he and his older sister had always bought all the other systems but they never chose the supposed "dominators" based on sales numbers or such data like that, especially the parents who are just as unlikely to look into sales data like how you would because you are of a different crowd.
At the end of the day it still doesn't matter who's getting atom smashed in one country or another, it still doesn't make it a super bad thing to gift or buy someone another system. Please stop trying to excuse or make reasons why it's obecjtively bad for such a subjective matter.

If a kid wants a ps4, which most who want a console do and he gets another he'll not be happy.
That's all. This isn't a debate just my opinion. if you disagree then more power to you
