I think the XBox Series X has to get my vote for the moment. The PS5 is just too big and I don't think Sony has the same advantage this generation that they did the last.
This is whats selling xbox to me over PS at the moment as well. Also, the PS5 controller looks absolutely awful, where as MS have just stuck with tried and tested.I'm actually still disappointed Sony hasn't even attempted to properly challenge the Xbox Game Pass yet, the Sony version is a bit cack.
There's no need for an Xbox Series X when you've got a defunct Steam Link

"Microsoft has pledged to release all of its next-gen exclusives on Steam"
I have one mounted behind my TV, never used it really. I am going to be doing some re-wiring soon anyway, so I can get the cable required between my PC from 15 metres to less than 5 so I can connect directly and run full 4k.
Microsoft are attacking this in a bit of a weird angle, PC owners just don't need an Xbox as they can get it all on PC (For now at least...) which means they will get fewer hardware sales, off the bat. It's probably why they are hoovering up so many publishers and developers now so that they can focus on software and IPs. As this could be the last generation of physical number crunching consoles, it's likely everything will be streamed in 5, 6, 7 years, this could be a long term master stroke from Microsoft. Add to that the different specced machines being released, they will gain knowledge of servicing different platforms and expectations.
