No problem, man. Gamers have more options than ever, but it can be overwhelming figuring out what works best for you.

I failed to mention another advantage of PS5 is that it allows you to connect a PSVR2 headset. May not be something you're into, but it's something to consider.

Wow, that’s a hell of a response, thank you! I was trying to compare the game pass and ps plus and I was finding myself preferring a lot of the ps games. It’s true what you say about the physical copies as well.

You have a next gen system that doesn't play next gen games. Only 3 games on Xbox Series S/X are unavailable on last gen hardware (PS4/Xbox One). PS5 has 15 or 20, and many have won or have been nominated to win awards.

PS Plus Premium is about 800 games for $120 per year ($90 if you buy on sale). Game Pass is $180 per year for about 450 games. Game Pass gives access to some Day One games, but I find myself taking advantage of this maybe to times a year. It's a fairly mediocre library compared to the GOTY contenders on the PS Plus side.

The Series S can be a trap. It's less capable than the other current-gen systems, and it has terrible storage capacity. If you buy the proprietary storage upgrade, then you are almost at the PS5 digital price point.

I recommend you keep your Series S and buy a PS5. Get a PS Plus Extra subscription (about 450 games for $100 per year) or PS Plus Premium (about 800 games for $120 per year). You can cancel GamePass any time. So, if you aren't playing anything on it, cancel it. When a new game gets added that you want to play, resubscribe. That way, you aren't paying the full $180 per year.

Get the disc version. It'll be cheaper in the long run. Physical copies are cheaper than digital, even when digital goes on sale. Having to wait for the sale of an older game that's still $60 is lame when you could buy a new physical copy for $20 year round. Or less if you go used or borrow/trade with a friend. Having the ability to sell games is a positive, as well. Do that 2 or 3 times, and you've paid off the $100 extra for the disc drive.

Imo keep the Series S and get the PS5! It’s a pretty big upgrade but both ecosystems are nice this generation!

to be honest, the wiimote isn't as uncomfortable as it looks, for a good mariokart experience i would reccomend you just buyng some Nunchucks. and everything should be alright.
you'll get a similar experience as Switch detached joycons. most games don't use as many inputs as what's avaliable on a pro controller. try playing with wiimote/nunchuck first, and then if you really feel it won't work, search for pro controllers. since they can get expensive, i'd put that as an after purchase.
