Don’t listen to gaming subs if you want an unbiased opinion tbh. The console wars are still active especially on Reddit. But I recommend ps5 for the games more than anything, series X is good too, just stay away from Series S

Edit: look into steam deck too. Never had one myself and can’t speak to it, but it seems like a more powerful switch but with PC/Steam games instead of Nintendo

That steam deck actually sounds pretty legit. I’ve never heard of that. I don’t own a gaming pc so I haven’t really dove into the whole steam community but I do know it’s all the rage these days. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks. Does the steam deck require a pc to run or is it it’s own console???

It’s completely standalone. Steam would be primary source of games but I think it’s able to run stuff like game pass too

You can with some effort and it's also great at emulation so almost anything up to ps3 and switch games run on it

Ah nice that’s really cool. Steam deck is a dark horse in the console game and I’m really interested to see how it evoles. Don’t even really know if it’s a console or pc, it’s like a hybrid

It definitely is got one for Christmas and couldn't recommend it enough I already had a big steam library but since steam games are so cheap, game pass and emulation you literally get spoiled for choice in terms of what to play, it's just niche to everyone outside pc gamers

So next question. Is it worth it to spend more to get the one with more storage???

I’d recommend it if money allows. IIRC the cheapest one uses flash storage but the upgraded uses an ssd
