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 guess it depends on if you’re planning for the future or not… If they’re going to get gamer PCs at some point then ps5 will have more exclusives they won’t be able to enjoy while Xbox and PC share more library options with each other.

    Also what will bring them the most enjoyment? What games do they want to play on this other consoles? Pick onr that has at least 2 or 3 games you can get them for chri6and birthdays or whatever.
