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’d say that PS5 probably is in the lead with the exclusives but that Game Pass deal on Xbox is hard to beat, so many free games to just try out. While none of the games are going to beat Baldurs Gate or Spiderman if your kids get bored and want to try new games its great value.
