Our verdict

Platform first, amount second. The £10 Xbox voucher covers games, add-ons and Game Pass on console and PC, and its 4.6 rating from 14,420 buyers reflects a painless redemption process. The £50 Nintendo eShop card, rated 4.5 by 2,208 people, is UK-only Switch credit and a substantial gift rather than a top-up. Neither card works on the other's platform, so the real question is how generous you are feeling towards a known Switch owner. For a stocking filler or a small thank-you, the Xbox card fits. For a birthday where a full game is the goal, the £50 eShop card lands better.
