Before this console, there were ps3 and ps4 slim. Choosing between ps5 and xbox series x. I am not a fan of any manufacturer. I chose xbox consciously (Gamepass, design, noise level, more capacious drive). The ps5 attracted an improved gamepad and exclusives. As practice has shown, in the past generation of Sony there were not many really interesting exclusives (personally, only granturismo and tlou came to me, although this is subjective), and similar games from multiplatform often turned out to be better and more interesting. I think that at the moment the best option is xbox sx with a gamepass subscription. If you are a fan of Sony exclusives and other games are less interesting to you, then you should look towards ps5.
