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)

    PS5 doesn’t have a lot of exclusive games outside of Japanese RPGs. Think Final Fantasy. Xbox tends to have more exclusive games. Think Halo, Starfield, etc. It depends what kind of ganes they like. A lot of games are on both systems, so it really comes down to the exclusives. I guess on PS5 you can get some games lile Crash Bandicoot which would appeal more to kids. So maybe thats a better system.
