I have an Xbox One and have had it since late 2015?
I have been gaming since Atari (though the first I bought with my own money was Dreamcast) and even versus the Xbox 360 I'd say the Xbox One has been the console I'm least satisfied by. And Microsoft's strategy with the S/X nonsense and games now not working as well on some versions of the console versus others has put the stake in it for me. I'm going to be extremely reluctant to ever buy another one of their consoles. This generation has almost completely turned me off gaming. A lot of the other changes in gaming (gambling, loot boxes, monetization, abandoning single player gaming) have not helped either, but MS has definitely shot themselves in the foot hard as far as I'm concerned.
My son has a Switch, it might not be as powerful, but Nintendo literally got everything right in the way MS got everything wrong. You can actually play the switch when you have 5 minutes to play. It doesn't do super long updates. The games always work. The games don't get slower when an update is applied, etc.. It has excellent single player games and excellent multiplayer in the same room games. A lot of their games have great deployability.
My 360 broke twice (RROD, DVD drive failure) and my PS3 also broke, and yet I would still take either of those back over the Xbox One any day.
My kid is 10 and the other thing is the game selection on Xbox is terrible for having games that adults and kids can actually play together. The % of games with an M rating on Xbox is so high, and the longer I've played the more the M games seem repetitive. There are a bunch of Playstation games we're quite jealous of, but we haven't jumped on getting a PS5, partially cause they were hard to get? We have a family member who got a PS5, when we go over it is definitely a lot more fun. Another family member got an Xbox Series X and it has been a disaster of bugs.
