Sorry but... The design on the console was what made you choose one over the other?

I have both. The PlayStation 5 I keep hidden. That thing is too damned big and obnoxious.

This thing goes into my living room and PS5 looks are just offensive to me. I waited to see if Sony would come to their senses with Slim or Pro but I guess Sony is back to being Sony when they don’t have to try. I despise monopolies so I go with the underdog when I can.

Both platforms run all modern games and there’s very little exclusives on both. Performance wise they’re the same and automatic VRR on everything is awesome. XSX was significantly cheaper at the time too and that’s before taking into account how much value GamePass provides. If Microsoft wasn’t exiting the market I’d say it’s a better choice today too.

I see you had more arguments. I was just baffled over what I read. I own neither and don't really follow what games are exclusives or not.

Happy it worked out for you :)
