In my opinion the Xbox’s value for money proposition is excellent and arguably unrivalled when it comes to Xbox Games Pass. For a low monthly fee you have an unbelievable choice of top games to play and they’re updated all the time.

The Switch I still feel though would be better suited for the age range you’re talking about. Being able to play it on the go in the car etc (hopefully they share! Although something to consider on the flip side, maybe it’s good for a console to stay at home if you don’t want them playing too much) , and I feel like the games themselves are more tailored to that age.

Alongside Mario Kart there’s the likes of Pokémon, Luigi’s Mansion, Paw Patrol, Super Mario World, Minecraft, splatoon, donkey kong, Mario tennis, sonic, Zelda, the Lego games, Spyro, the list goes on.
