Im not much of a gamer (ironically I make games for a living) but I made a bet with my kids that if the Detroit Lions make the playoffs this year I’ll buy them a system, and its looking like almost a lock to happen, so I want to get in on some Holiday deals.
This is their first non-Nintendo system so I’m a little lost on which way to go at this point in the generation cycle. For reference they’re 7 and 9 year old boys and are gonna be new to gaming that isnt based around crafting or Italian brothers. (i made them use my old NES, then SNES first, then got them a Switch a couple years back)
I love my PS5 (I have ADHD and other sensory issues so I prefer to “stick to what I know” if that makes sense) but my husband has Xbox and the game pass is AMAZING and makes it so worth it.
But it does depend on personal preferences and what their friends play on more, as not all games have crossplay. Both consoles play most of the same games.
