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)

    • if your kids like to play A LOT of games, get Xbox Series X/S (1TB). Then subscribe to GAME PASS
    • if you kids like to play sony exclusive games, then grab PS5.

    Xbox series got “quick resume” feature where it automatically “save state” games, so kids can switch back and forth for around 5 games without losing progress, without saving.

    so if they suddenly need to do homework, go visit friends, etc. they can simply turn off their xbox. without needing to hunt for save points of checkpoints.

    games also can be pinned to “quick resume” so they are always in “save state” condition.
