We’ve been an Xbox household forever, but recently I stopped paying for Game Pass due to the price increases. Last night my daughter was complaining that there was “nothing to play”.

There are 416 owned games available for download on that Series X which have been accumulated over the years through purchases or Xbox Live Gold or whatever, and she’s barely scratched the surface of them.

For the total life of my PS1 ownership when I was her age, I owned 5 games.

“In my day…”, etc etc

That's true. I just wish he'd give his laptop a chance, he has a controller for that

Even then, the DS is pretty specific for its dual screen setup, and makes playing on anything that isnt a DS or similar form factor feel pretty unapproachable. Have you tried other consoles, like the PSP? Since it only has one screen, and does not have touch support, it can feel like it was designed for normal console style play.

Its only a suggestion, there may be other reasons he doesn't play. Maybe the games just don't interest him?

I did say "and several thousand other games". It's a pretty big collection. Everything from NES to PS2.
