My step-son insisted on an Xbox S because he plays only Gamepass games. He is 11, and all his friends have Xbox's as well. Being a die-hard Playstation guy (in a former life) I was confused, since Playstation seems so much better.

I do agree that Microsoft's software is a better experience than PSN, and cloud gaming via Gamepass is quite cool.

PS Plus Extra is pretty good, you get a lot of the Sony exclusives like Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, Spider Man, etc
