Super smash bros, mario party, and theres a ton of nice couch coop games on switch suitable for young children like boomerang fu.

In my opinion the Xbox’s value for money proposition is excellent and arguably unrivalled when it comes to Xbox Games Pass. For a low monthly fee you have an unbelievable choice of top games to play and they’re updated all the time.

The Switch I still feel though would be better suited for the age range you’re talking about. Being able to play it on the go in the car etc (hopefully they share! Although something to consider on the flip side, maybe it’s good for a console to stay at home if you don’t want them playing too much) , and I feel like the games themselves are more tailored to that age.

Alongside Mario Kart there’s the likes of Pokémon, Luigi’s Mansion, Paw Patrol, Super Mario World, Minecraft, splatoon, donkey kong, Mario tennis, sonic, Zelda, the Lego games, Spyro, the list goes on.

I voted before i realized that its for 5- years old lol

Mario kart is suitable, and the switch also has Minecraft and I think it has Roblox too. I’d say go with the switch, personally

Yes you can

Im on the fence between Xbox and Switch, but the only game I can think of is as you mentioned Mario Kart for switch are there many other games suitable for the younger kids?

Xbox had me interested as it has Minecraft and Roblox which also are hugely popular games for young kids.

Can you play 2 players on the same console in online matches?

Split screen and online with others.

Switch would be a good introduction to gaming. And you can’t go wrong with Mario kart.

Maybe so, but how long will that continue for? Games will slowly stop using these "Features" over time as they normally do.

I have both consoles. I would definitely not choose based on gamepad features. Games are priority, you should decide if sony exclusives are a must for you. But I would prefer Xbox gamepad due to it has more space to grip for fingers, and feels more robust. Not for the layout, I like PS layout more. Some games use the speaker on Dualsense for comms and small details like sword clashing noise in Ghost of Tsushima. Not same thing but Xbox gamepad has adaptive triggers.

The haptic feedback has proven to be more than just the gimmick that I thought it would be.

I don't know that I'd recommend a ps5 for just for the controller. But I would recomend it for the 2 to 3 exclusive GOTY nominees that drop every year for use with the controller. Some of which may or may not release on PC 2 or 3 years after release. But, if you have a PC, you don't really need an Xbox anyway.

Yes the dualsense sold me

Even pc games have the capabilities for the new controller. It isnt gimmicky crap like in the past.

The thing is, overall I prefer the Xbox controller layout Vs the joystick layout on the PS5, so I'd go for Xbox but Ik the PS5 controller has all these new features so I'm kinda stuck

I have a high end-ish PC that can perform 4k 60hz very well and a PS5 for some exclusives. I play with a 9th gen Xbox controller on PC and I also love it. But after experiencing DualSense I slowly started to switch to PS5 just because of the controller. I even bought RE Village, Cyberpunk 2077 and Deathloop again on PS5 even though I own them at PC.

I also played Series X at my friends since it's trending and everyone here is buying Xbox'es. It's my two cents but even with slightly powerful hardware, performance and fidelity of SX seems same with PS5 to me.

Long story short I think it's worth to get ps5 just because of the controller because it's an important part of your experience and everything else seems par. But I suggest that you find a PS5 and play on it to experience yourself first, don't just take my word.

Some people said buy the PS4 just because it's controller had Gyro and Touch capabilities. How many games actually used both of those things for more than just gimmicks, Not many if you think how big the library is.

Same thing with the PS Vita and its rear touchpad, another added control feature that was overlooked and then completely ignored by most games.

Can't say it will be the same for the new features on the PS5 controller but if history is anything to go by......

What lmao, I'm asking a simple question for people who own both

First of all, they aren't dumb reasons, as what other reasons except for looks, performance and design are there? I only wanted to play 2 exclusive games so I won't miss out on much. Also the fanbase is important, I don't wanna be surrounded by butthurt 13 year olds whenever I go online or ask a question in the sub. Xbox>

💀

Yep, just over there.

Yippers that's me.

Yep, I am really curious. Aren’t you the guy who bought a brand new NES in 1988 and still have it?

Didn't you ask the same about NES a day or two ago?

Prob no
