I wanted to buy a gaming console so which one should I buy? Xbox or PS?
User experience and game availability is higher priority.

Games like FarCry, Hitmen like that. Also I heard about Monthly Passes. So they should not be costly also. Kind of an average player requirement.
Which console gets the more exclusive ones? I am kind of new in this world.
I am not considering switch.

Xbox has lost this generation as well, the PS5 sort of outsells the xsx by 5:1 globally and it also has a larger install base in India compared to the Xbox so it'll be easier to trade in used games for the PS5,
This has been the weakest console generation overall since most games are multiplatform and even the individual platform exclusives are in the single digits for both platforms, the winner this generation has been the PC imo since it ends up getting all the games at lower prices during steam sales.

Overall sales and exclusives wise, the Switch is the undisputed winner this gen standing at over 140 million units sold and counting !

So you are suggesting PS over Xbox if not Switch or PC?

Yea PC > PS5 > Xbox, one problem with the Switch is the exorbitant prices of games and lack of sales on the eshop.
The one small advantage the Xbox has is Gamepass (which again works on PC) but that has mostly been a hit or miss in my case.

Apart from use of bespoke controls in some games, Switch emulation on PC has far surpassed what the Switch itself is capable of, and hence the clamp down by Nintendo. Newer Switch mods will still cost a pretty penny to install and flash carts are not that convenient.

I run most of the non-strenuous games on Android tablet with a telescopic controller and that itself is a better experience.

Ps5 is indeed superior to xbox this generation but xbox does have some specific benefits that you might wanna consider

It's cheaper especially the series s, though I personally wouldn't recommend going for series s, but overall for just casual gaming it's absolutely fine. Honestly this isn't that big of an benifit.

Now the main thing is you can emulate older consoles such as ps2, wii and GameCube on Xbox by enabling developer mode which you will need to pay a bit for.

Honestly, unless you really care about the emulation part, i would 100% recommend going for ps5, the price part is basically a non factor really.

Get the PS5. Don't go for the Pro model. The cost increase isn't worth it.
I have the disc version for the PS5. I am so happy I did not go the discless route like some of my friends. There are legitimate websites which offer a buy-play-trade experience for games. So the cost of playing is reduced by a lot for me. There are still some awesome games I own for the sake of owning them. But most I've played, then traded them after finishing them. Rinse repeat.
 
PS5, and I echo the suggestion of getting the disc version. The price increase will pay for itself with the savings from buying/selling used discs. PS4 games on disc are also quite cheap used, you'll be able to play the many excellent exclusives that PS4 still has (Uncharted 1-3 remastered, GoW 3 remastered, Infamous SS/FL, Gravity Rush 1+2, Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus & The Last Guardian, just to name a few). Look for CeX stores in your city.
 
If you’ve previously owned a console or have some experience with them, I recommend going for that brand. However, if you’re a first time buyer in India, you should definitely consider the PS5, in sales you can get them for 35-37k.
While Xbox Game Pass offers some benefits, the recent price increase doesn’t justify it for Indian users.
