Series X is considerably more powerful, plus Microsoft has considerably cheaper prices as well as free exclusives with gamepass. Sonys going backwards these days

It is not considerably more powerful lol. The Xbox is absolutely more conventionally powerful but the difference isn't particularly large. Not enough for it to really factor into which console you choose. And this is someone who would own a Series X if he didn't already have a PC.

Furthermore, basically every sales estimate I've seen has the PS5 moderately ahead of the X/S.

The facts say different. The series X is considerably more powerful than the PS5. Look up Sony's comments about the Activision sale to see Sony's situation. Selling more consoles at a loss isn't the name of the game anymore 👍👍
