If it really is for the kids, then the switch is awesome and works as a handheld or when docked to a TV. We love to take those on road trips and vacations.

The Xbox starts to get into more mature titles and gameplay, so not as suitable for kids. I’ve not played with the parental controls on that one to see what you can do. But unless you can lock it, they would have the ability to play mature titles.

If all you want is the game pass, you can save a lot of money and just buy the series S. That’s what we did and we use the game pass for old games and play new games on the PS5 that we already have. I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360, so it made sense for me to go back and play the last 10 years worth of Xbox exclusives.

Honestly if the target is really kids under 10. The Nintendo really is much more kid friendly on games and titles. And their friends are more likely to be playing those games on that platform. plus, it keeps them quiet in the car.

Xbox can’t do that 🤣✌️
