Been trying for a year to get one of those N64 Switch controllers and yours is just sitting there unused. I'm jealous, nice room

Xbox has a list of reasons why it's better then playstation. Exclusives exmusives, I can play basically every PS game on PC, phone or switch.

Xbox has Gamepass, crossplay (which Sony fights at every turn), faster updates, better mods for the games that allow it, less censorship, and tends to get PC games/updates well before Playstation. There are quite a few games/updates that are on PC/Xbox that still haven't hit playstation.

Genshin is a really dumb reason to pick a console imo, especially when it's a shitty gatcha game she can play on her phone.

Top of the line computers don't exist for long. Another better piece of hardware for it is always around the corner. It's part of why I don't do much PC gaming. Looking at specs and figuring out how well it'll run is a pain. Consoles are never "top of the line" since PCs will always be ahead of them... but before you knew a console game would run and run well rather than it being like "It RUNS on the OG but it's pretty janky. Get the newest version of the system and you won't have those performance issues."

I don't demand backwards compatibility. Nobody did until the PS2 happened. I don't make games or consoles so I have no idea how hard it is to make a system backwards compatible. I don't throw out old hardware so I'm not worried about that.
