Xbox One X 1TB vs Nintendo Switch OLED

The Switch OLED is the better buy for most people. It plays in handheld mode, has a bright 7-inch OLED screen, and owners rate it higher. The Xbox One X is a stationary 4K console with far more raw power, a 4K Blu-ray drive and 1TB of storage, but it is a last-generation machine with a shrinking library. Pick the Xbox One X only if you want cheap 4K gaming and movies on a TV and do not need portability.

  • Choose the Xbox One X if you play on a 4K TV, want a 4K Blu-ray player and 1TB of storage, and do not need to play on the go.
  • Choose the Switch OLED if you want to play handheld or docked, value the bright OLED screen and long battery life, and want the higher-rated console.

Questions and answers

Which is better for playing on the go?
The Switch OLED. It is a handheld with a built-in screen and battery, while the Xbox One X needs a TV and wall power.
Which has better graphics?
The Xbox One X by a wide margin. It renders native 4K HDR with a much stronger GPU and 12GB of RAM, while the Switch tops out at 1080p docked.
Which lasts longer?
The Switch OLED has a rechargeable battery rated for about 4.5 to 9 hours per charge. The Xbox One X has no battery and runs on AC power, so its lifespan depends on the hardware itself.
Is the Xbox One X worth stepping up to over the Switch OLED?
Only if you want 4K gaming and a 4K Blu-ray player on a TV. For portability, a modern game library and a brighter screen, the Switch OLED is the better fit.
Can I play the same games on both?
Almost none overlap. The Xbox One X plays Xbox One titles and backward-compatible Xbox games, while the Switch OLED plays Nintendo Switch games and has no disc drive.
