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)

    Xbox has a much, much bigger library of games, thanks to its backwards compatibility with Xbox one, 360 and to a certain degree the original xbox.

      The PlayStation is fully compatible with ps4 and can stream ps1-ps3 games. Its catalog is just as big, and the subscription service has twice as many games as Xbox.
