Not necessarily. I have a PC (with a 3090), Series X and a Switch and they get equal playtime...

Just because the switch doesn't have the newest hardware, there is something to be said for being able to have a portable console like the switch. Another reason I play the switch is for Switch exclusives. They are the only ones that never make it onto the xbox or PC, unlike a lot of PlayStation exclusives.

Series S is a safer pick.

He has all his friends on it and he gets the benefit of improved graphical fidelity but most importantly the speed of the SSD.

This just generally makes your gaming much more pleasurable as everything is so snappy!

Ofc the series s is a digital only console so bear that in mind also.

The switch is, well the switch?

Does he have an interest in Pokémon? Mario? Zelda? I find it rather pointless buying a console that’s just as much or near enough as much a series S when in reality it’s offering you less value for your money.

He also wouldn’t be able to play many of those games with his friends aside from possibly rocket league?

But ultimately value for money is something only you will know.

Friends and if he plays with them a lot are a huge value, let alone the technical improvements of the newer console on its own!

Reply to comment by kingt34 in Xbox or Switch for boyfriend ?? by sl000t

Thank you! Love the optimism here hahaha I think he only has digital games but that is important to note! So his main complaint is his Xbox One being slow. His roommate has a series S and he loves it but like others have said, I feel like the X is just the better buy but I am really struggling with the price/availability of the X :,)
