Switch if you care for games like Pokemon, Mario, …..

PS5 if you care for PS exclusive games

Xbox Series S if you want a budget console for a few games like CoD and Fifa or gamepass

Xbox series X for any other reason

(I have all of them, imo Series X is the best console if you don’t care for the ps exclusives. Switch and Series S are in a different position, because they serve a different purpose than the XSX and the PS5)

Both the PS5 and the Switch are great systems but very different and don’t really serve quite the same purpose.

The PS5 is much more powerful than the Switch, and therefore runs resource heavy games much more smoothly and reliably. Game updates and DLC releases also tend to happen in a much more timely manner on the PS5 than the Switch.

On the other hand the fact you can use the switch as a handheld is a huge plus. The touch screen is great, and as a handheld nothing beats it except the Steam Deck.

I would suggest you spend some time looking at the games catalogue of the respective systems, since there are a few games exclusive to each platform; and for cross platform games, read reviews on how the ones that most appeal to you play on each system. There will be differences.

There is no universal right answer. They are just different systems, so it depends what games you want, and how important handheld is to you versus performance

It depends on what games you like & where you like to play them. I love my Switch because it’s portable. On days like today when I’m stuck in bed due to chronic pain, Switch is the best. I have the normal version bc I don’t care much about graphics.
