India is a PS nation, so if you're looking for MP gaming, then forget Xbox. You won't have much friends and you'll have a hard time finding games, unless the game has server browser or cross platform support.
Also, remember, MP is locked behind a paywall in both consoles, except F2P games didn't need PS+ in PS since PS3 era. MS did the same for XBOX last week ,

If you're not into MP gaming, then buy the current gen Xbox Series X/S. Why? Backward compatibility is ****ing great with Xbox.
PS4/5 has no backward compatibility with PS2/3 games and they milk their fanboys by releasing remakes, then FULL HD remakes. I'm pretty sure they're already making 4K remakes of previous gen games for PS5.
And, another thing is that console game prices have gone full retard with the current/previous gen and unless you're rich AF, PC gaming is the better choice now. You can buy "old games" in Steam for cheap during sales and games in consoles, don't drop price. A decade old games are still being sold for full price.
Source: me play MP games in PS consLOL's since PS360 era coz hackers in PC. Nope, don't start a flame war. I can have my own opinions and am not a fanboi. I play SP games in PC.
Now MS has to just remove the paywall for MP games & I'll be jumping the ship.
