Not sure what to get the gamer on your list? Just ask their parents, 40 percent of whom expect to spend more on game-related gifts this year than they did last year, according to a new survey. The data also revealed the top six video game systems that parents plan to buy this year. Below are the most popular consoles and devices, from the new and improved PlayStation 4 Pro to the Nintendo Switch that everyone is obsessed with.

Whether you go with the regular PS4 or the upgraded PS4 Pro, you'll be gifting an incredible gaming system. With a massive 1TB of storage space and a vast library of games and movies to browse though, it offers endless hours of entertainment. And if you're willing to splurge, the PS4 Pro (which works with all past PS games) has better power, better speed, and better graphics thanks to its 4K and HDR compatibility.
