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)

    It’s more about what games they are interested in and what their friends have. Performance wise both are so close it’s irrelevant.

    If they are the first of their friends to get a console, and they don’t know what games they want to play, I’d suggest the Xbox and getting GamePass. There’s a lot of family friendly games on there.
