Yeah Ik but they're mostly on gamepass anyways. Also lots of ppl were saying to get a PS5 just for exclusives but i don't wanna spend another 300 just on games lol

just letting you know, Microsoft will be upping their exclusive price to 70 as well in 2023

Lol, I just feel like the ps isn't for me, I've heard some people say the actual console is built cheaper/worse than the Xbox, and I don't wanna pay £70 for every exclusive. I must say, the controller is very cool though. Also the PS5 looks like a WiFi router from the 2000s for me idk why. Don't even get my started on the ps butthurt fanbase. Either way I think both are great and it was a very close call, happy gaming!

Nintendo has a much more family friendly atmosphere to it

Lock it down don't add any payment methods to it set up a child account

that's certainly still a great decision! enjoy your game fridge bro

My brother just said his friend had a PS5 but sold it for an Xbox as he didn't like it. I think ima go Xbox

Fair enough, Time will tell. I guess I should actually open up my PS5 and see what all the fuss is about with the controller then.

a lot of people prefer Xbox layout, but PlayStation layout is easy enough to get used to. plus you've got some unbeatable exclusives on ps5. maybe this is just my overall Sony bias but I think a ps5 is a better investment

I would say switch, I had Nintendo in the past and now have xbox. The switch has a lot more games for kids their ago and when they are older you can get them an xbox in how ever many years and the switch doesn't have very many tiles that aren't appropriate for there ago were as the xbox does. They both have mincraft and sure the xbox does have roblox but the switch had all the different Mario games. In the end the switch is more appropriate for their age but the xbox is more future proof.

Super thanks.👍

The DS5 is hands-down the best controller. Especially with games that can take advantage of it's features fully.

Yeah, I can imagine that the triggers are at best semi good for competative games. I play 99% single player and love the immersion they give!

it's cool when trying to get a more realistic feel of the weapon I'm using but in a 1v1 when using a shotgun it feels like I'm fighting the enemy player and my R2 button at the same time lol

Maybe it's all in my head, I don't know

I think the switch is good for introducing them into gaming and then if they decide they want to get more into gaming the Xbox series S would probably be the best option for an actual console :)

I know, but winter can be incredibly boring at times.

I mean yeah, there are quite a few. What kind of games do you like to play?

For Minecraft it requires two pairs of controllers or a pair of controllers and a pro controller or two pro controllers

I’d recommend this video when you get a few mins. You won’t need to buy any extra controllers to start

Games are definitely cheaper on the Switch than Xbox (ignoring games pass )/ PS . Maybe around $35-$45

Seems like Nintendo Switch is the way to go judging by the overwhelming votes for that age group.

I will have to check out the S series, but thus far it's probably ending on the Switch if not convinced otherwise.

Is the switch considered to be a console and can be a stationary box connected to the TV without a problem which was in my mind. Or is it considered a handheld? If the handheld console would be connected to the TV at all times would it reduce its lifetime?

Suggestion on extras? Would 4 controllers be a minimum requirement for 2 players?

What's the average price of the games on the switch?

Appreciate all the replies guys! 👍👍👍

It comes included with a controller or you can slide the sides out and it can be used as two joy sticks. You could probably just start with that and then see if another full size control would be useful down the line.

For a 5 and 6 years old? Non. Buy them normal toys not videogames.

If it was for me I would probably go for either PlayStation or Xbox. Thanks for voting.😉

Alright, mainly stationary for home at the TV.

Would 2 controllers be enough or would I have to go for an extra two?

Isnt the switch controller pretty limited with a couple of buttons? How would Minecraft work out in a 2-player split mode? Or would it require 4 controllers?

Yes it does both - it can connect to your tv and then also use it as a handheld. Pretty cool.
