What is the best gaming console and why?
xbox series x
The most powerful games console ever. Microsoft has got a really impressive hand to play this console generation, too, though, and the Xbox Series X is its new flagship. It's the most powerful console ever, too. An SSD and huge power mean it's right up there with the PS5, and the prices are similar too.
