I feel like I can’t vote because its down to his preference: Xbox One can do most of the things a Series S can do, there’s not a lot of exclusives that he needs it for, but it is fast, and great to have. One important note though: does he use disks to play his games? Because the Series S DOES NOT HAVE A DISK DRIVE. Very important to know.

Switch is just all round great, perfect for playing games together or for him to play alone (Get Zelda: Breath of the Wild - this is the reason people usually buy a Switch).

Frankly, either choice is a good choice, so you can’t lose!

Thank you! Love the optimism here hahaha I think he only has digital games but that is important to note! So his main complaint is his Xbox One being slow. His roommate has a series S and he loves it but like others have said, I feel like the X is just the better buy but I am really struggling with the price/availability of the X :,)

If you think the X is what he really wants, you could offer to pay for half of it. That’s already a huge gift! :)

If you want to keep it a surprise, you could give him a $250 gift card and he can then either just get the Series S with it or fork over the extra money for the X.
