Lost a bet so I have to get my kids a non-Nintendo system. At this point, is there good reason to go with Xbox over PS5 (or vice versa)? (alien.top)

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)

Nah. Gotta go older then that. Sega Master System, the equivalent to the NES. My first console ever, (when I was six), and I still have more memories of my Dad playing it then I do.

Bought mine with babysitting money. I don't remember many games I played on it, but I do remember playing the Michael Jackson game to the end. Don't recall if I ever beat it though. And one other game that it came with, Alex the Kid.
