Video game consoles and their accessibility.

So I know quite a few people on here who have consoles. If anyone does have one, like a nintendo or xbox, what games do you play on them that have some accessibility at a certain point? (the last of us fits here too as its extremely accessible but meh.) Also I don't get how some functions don't work with the switch 2 screen reader though (unless that's just me going based of reviews of the accessibility on there.)

I don't think consoles are worth it for blind people honestly. I do have a PS5, but I basically never use it because 1) everything is on PC and 2) you're extremely limited by not being able to use accessibility mods. The only accessible PS5 exclusive currently is Wolverine, and the accessibility is uh... not the best from my experience but I know others who have had much better success with it than me. And don't get me wrong. I'm not against consoles, I used to be a huge Nintendo fan before going blind, but I just don't think consoles are worth it for blind people. With handhelds the story is a bit different because you can run accessibility mods on there, but I don't know if you consider those consoles.
As for the accessibility of the PS5 itself as in the system menus and stuff I'd say it's basically as good as it gets except that there's audio ducking you can't turn off.
