I currently have a ps4 which is my main console and a Nintendo switch which I gave to my younger brother and we play over watch 2 and apex together. He’s been using the Nintendo for about 2 years now and he’s never played in 30+ fps ever. So I wanted to get myself another console so I can give my brother my PS4 which is in great condition and not slow even after all the years of me owning it. So I decided that my 2 options were to get a used ps4 pro or a Xbox series s for both for about $350 CAD. Kinda need some advice about the 2 options.

PS4 pro has 6 months to 1 year lifespan left at most in my opinion. If you want to play new games in the long run you can go with series s. You'd cover online with Gamepass also if you play multiplayer often.
Depending on your tv and how much more you can squeeze out of your pocket I'd say consider getting a PS5 though. Stocks are coming back and you'll be able to buy it in retail price. Lately Activision deal sparked a console wars mindset in reddit but I think PlayStation still has the best games of the console world and gives the best experience with dualsense.
No disrespect to Xbox owners though, my roommate has one and I think it's a great machine, just doesn't appeal to me.
