PlayStation 4 vs. Nintendo Switch: Which Is the Better Christmas Gift This Year?
Conclusion
So when all is said and done, which is a better Christmas gift? By a slim margin, it has to go to the Nintendo Switch, for no greater reason than that the console still has time left to grow and thrive.
Sure, the PlayStation 4 has plenty of great games to choose from both first and third party, and it has some cheaper options for those who have a budget to stick to in their gift buying. In the long run though, it’ll only be useful for so long with a new console potentially on the way.
The Nintendo Switch, meanwhile, will be a gift someone can get plenty of mileage out of. It’s got years worth of stellar games and content still to come, cross platform play for fans of multiplayer, and a growing selection of indie titles to choose from that’ll only grow each year.
That said, both are still phenomenal consoles. If you find the Nintendo Switch too expensive to purchase right now, or that your giftee enjoys third party titles not available on the console, go with the PlayStation 4. As stated above, the Switch isn’t going anywhere and’ll still be a great gift come next year.
