PC and I have an Xbox Series S mostly for family playing. I had considered a PS5 but not much compelling on there, and I just know that actually i'm just going to end up playing my PC favorites anyways.
Interestingly though I recent got a 360 again - I think that era was peak console gaming, enough tech for decent graphics and gameplay, but before mtx and season passes kind of ruined everything AAA. (PS2 era was pretty good also, but doing some emulation play of older games...it's really mostly nostalgia carrying them and gameplay, not just graphics, were being held back by technology)
I'm surprised you consider ps5 exclusives not that compelling. What types of games do you normally play?
Honestly, this is our experience too. My kids play on their computers and the Xbox probably 90% of the time. The PS5 getting very minimal use. The switch at least has the virtue of being portable, and thus gets hauled around.
It's confusing to me because there are next to no games on the Xbox that aren't on PC, but PlayStation has a boat load of exclusives.
I primarily game on PC, so my Xbox One collected dust after I got bored with Rare Replay and Halo 5 while my PS4 saw plenty of use from 2013 all the way through 2020. This gen I skipped Xbox entirely and just got a PS5.
