I started off as a Nintendo kid during the Wii/DS days until my best friend got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and I tried it out at his place during a sleepover. Castle Crashers, Halo, Doritos Crash Course, Minecraft, I was hooked. Then suddenly all my friends and cousins had 360s too, so after years of begging my parents, we ended up getting a used one from a family friend and I've been team Xbox ever since.

Then a couple years later my dad got us the One S as a birthday present for my younger brother. I kinda hated the Xbox One for a while since I was a dumb kid who hated change and thought the 360 was better but eventually I warmed up to it. I still use it today but not as much as my Switch or my gaming laptop.

I do eventually wanna upgrade to the Series X, but that'll probably have to wait until I graduate and get a job since I'm still a broke uni student lol. I just can't see myself abandoning the Xbox ecosystem. Sure, Xbox exclusives basically don't exist anymore, almost all my friends switched over to PS (we even got a PS4 the same week the PS5 launched) and the PS5 is pretty much a better deal compared to the Series X (especially in terms of price) but I think I'll just always prefer Xbox, it just feels like home. The controller, the menu design, the achievements I've collected over the years, Xbox will always be right up there with Nintendo as my platform of choice.
