One additional consideration is that, on a regular, retail, fresh-out-the-box Series X/S, it’s now possible to download and install fantastic emulators spanning almost the entire history of home gaming (up to Dreamcast/PS2).

I have and love both, but this alone would edge my choice in favor of Xbox.

There are a few specific apps that, until recently, were only accessible if you set up your console in dev mode. These are:

  • Retroarch (8-bit up to ~PSX)
  • XBSX2 (PS2)
  • Flycast (Dreamcast)
  • PPSSPP (Sony PSP)
  • Dolphin (Gamecube/Wii)

To access these (edit: in retail mode), you need to open you Xbox's Edge browser and navigate to this github repo, and from there access the discord server. Then it's just a matter of following the prompts and downloading this apps!

Check youtube for very detailed videos on how to actually set up these apps with BIOS files and ROMs once you've downloaded them.
