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)

    Depends on what you want to spend and the quality you want. I own a Mac (I know it’s not the best for gaming but it’s improving) and Xbox series x. For me, I wish I had bought a ps5 instead. Gamepass is great for a while if you have lots of time to play the games. So maybe it will be good for your kids as they will have a huge library of games with a single subscription. However I think the ps5 is more expensive but has more quality games overall.
