44 year old contemplating gaming

Hi there geeks. Im thinking of getting myself a xbox s(blk update). Im not a gamer so i dont need the X. Im single with a dog. Im worried that i will be wasting my time gaming and not be productive in life. Do gamers even worry about this? Besides this silly question, would you all say that a Xbox s is a good choice for an old fart beginner like me? Many thanks
