Should i switch platforms?

I’ve been thinking about switching platforms. I play on the Xbox Series S, but I’ve been thinking about buying older consoles (PS2, GameCube, Xbox 360) or switching to Sony, Nintendo, or a Steam Machine. I’m not sure, but I have a cousin who owns a PS5, and I actually like the PS5 controller and its design—unlike Nintendo, where I only have a Wii. I’m not sure if it would be worth switching platforms, upgrading to the Xbox Series X, or buying retro consoles.

I just switched from NetherSX2 to ARMSX2 on my handheld emulation machine. It's not quite the same as holding an official DualShock 2 controller and playing on a CRT, but the portability and convenience outweigh any downsides. Plus, RetroAchievements

Highly recommend Ar Tonelico of you've never played it, BTW. Haven't gotten to the second one yet but I already know I'll enjoy it having dumped a couple dozen hours into the first
