I do not recommend a digital only console. While they're nice for budget, the superior versions are not that much more expensive and grant you access to more options when it comes to how you want to experience games, and more importantly, it allows you to trade, sell, and buy games for dirt cheap at secondhand stores. I would recommend the Xbox Series X for a first console.

If you already had the last Xbox, a PS5 would make sense, but the Xbox Series X can play most major releases from all Xbox generations without any streaming nonsense. The Switch is nice and cheap, but it's very low end performance-wise and your game selection will be very limited. Furthermore, the PS5 is more expensive than the Series X as it currently stands. I have all three, but I would say the Series X is the middle ground that best suits a new consumer imo
