When you are looking at strictly PlayStation vs Xbox I don’t think you will go gravely wrong if you went in either direction. I think if you classify yourself as a gamer or hardcore gamer then owning both systems is the way to go.
As a casual gamer I have stuck with the PlayStation but wouldn’t say I am loyal to that brand. Xbox did nothing with the series X to get a casual gamer like me to change but had I had the XBONE and was looking to upgrade I would say the same thing about the PS5. Outside of the 20 free PS4 classics you can download there is not much of a pull. With backwards capability and free upgrades to next gen games on the same console brand it lends for the casual gamer to stick with what they had last gen.
It has only been the last 2 generations where Sony and Microsoft went head to head in the same launch window. In 2013 I was willing to buy whichever I could get as I did not have a preorder and the PS4 was it. For this generation due to how much I enjoyed the PS4 I didn’t even consider switching.
