I'll do my best to answer, although I consider Switch 2 to be 10th gen.

If you're a WiiU user looking to upgrade to Switch, it's a definite YES. The Switch has arguably the best game library of any console ever; it has the benefit of portability; and it largely makes the WiiU superfluous, due to so many WiiU ports, many of which are improved in terms of content and performance.

If you're a PS4 user looking to upgrade to PS5, it's a lukewarm YES. PS5 is the worst PS home console, but it gets the lion's share of big AAA productions, not to mention several important third-party exclusives and the rare amazing first-party game. The line-up in 2024 went a long way toward changing this from a MAYBE to a YES. Helldivers, Rebirth, Stellar Blade, Pacific Drive, and of course Astro Bot, which I consider the GOTY.

If you're an Xbox One user looking to upgrade to Xbox Series, it's a NO. Microsoft's first-party output has been random and unreliable over the last five years. And now its console exclusives are coming to rival platforms.
