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)

    IMO PS5 for the exclusives. Xbox only if you want to get the game pass, cuz it’s a pretty good deal for the games it offers. If you already have a Steam library, then a steam Deck + a dock is pretty good also. But it’s a bit more difficult to make things run properly at higher resolutions and if you want game pass you gotta do some modifications.
