I would like that balance, it’s why I want to make the right decision on this.
We have had a good day with just 40 minutes of console time and some frisbee in the park .. but weather wise it’s been bad. Now it’s tv time

The Xbox controller feels light years ahead of the PS controllers and as someone who plays mostly FPS that’s a big deal to me.

100%, I'm desperately seeking a third party PS5 controller with an xbox layout but there aren't any yet.

Strange, they must have redesigned it considerably. The Xbox controllers of the past were bulbous behemoths that were enough to put you off the console on their own.

It's the stick positions, I prefer this on an Xbox controller.

I have had Playstations all the way through never even played on an x box, I enjoy gaming, always have but never been over the top.
I tend to play more in the winter, buy games second hand that are about a year old as the dark nights approach.
I bought a PS5 last week thinking they are going to become harder to get old of the nearer we get to Christmas, my advise to anybody looking to buy a PS5 is to join one of the Twitter feeds for stock alerts, they are spot on, anybody waiting for a price drop, get real, do you think Sony are going to drop the price on an item people are queing up to buy, any stock that becomes available sells out in 5 minutes.

I have been a massive gamer over the years and have owned most consoles since the Atari 2600. I currently have a PS5, Switch and will get an Xbox series S at some point just to play the few games I cant get on PS.
How old is your son, how often does he play games and is it just minecraft and Lego he plays. For pure fun games for kids you cant beat the Nintendo Switch, with the plus side of going handheld.

Little fella is nearly 9. Loves Lego and minecraft, looked at the switch and it’s a contender as he has some friends with them .. we are quite behind the curve on these things but that might not be a bad thing.

For a 9 year old it a switch would be the best choice. You get the option to go handheld, and loads of games like Mario, animal crossing, labo, plus Minecraft and the Lego games he likes.
