No point… only really a point if your mates play Xbox or your looking to play Xbox exclusives like Forza etc… also Microsoft are taking over the gaming world at the moment so if you play games like COD etc it might be an idea to switch. Personally I’d save up for a little bit longer and buy a budget PC. Preferably one you build yourself, it’s a lot less daunting than it seems! PC gives you pretty much every game on the planet with no barriers (other than ££). PC is more expensive but it gives you a much better gaming experience… worth a thought :)

Plenty of points, for me anyway, and maybe for OP since I don't gush over Exclusives either and had been fed up with Sonys BS for a while:

Lots of games that are Cross Platform Coop/MP with just PC (which was a selling point for me since a few mates jumped back to PC from PS while I wasn't that flush with cash).
An Online Store with actually useful filters (like search for all games that has Cross-platform, 120hz/FPS, and many more).
Many more games supporting native Mouse & Keyboard and having more open ended customization options (more in line with PC).
A steady stream of Game Previews and Early Access titles, of which some are long beta tests through Xbox Insider where players feedback actually have been utilized and appreciated.
Discord Voice Chat, where you'll notice an immediate boost in audio quality.
A Web browser that is improving and evolving nearing PC standards (So much freedom here, I run a pinned tab with Discord e. g.).
A gigantic library of apps, weird, fun but most importantly useful (I found a YT app that auto-blocks ads, an app to test deadzones and drift in controllers, a Remote Desktop app that actually worked hooking up o both PC and Phone, etc).
Gamepass Ultimate, every other day there's new cool games to try, (which I pay around 6 bucks a month for because of official Live Gold conversion, that is half of my PS+ monthly cost).

The swap saved gaming for me anyway and I'm now enjoying console gaming again!

Please go on about this YT app.

I tried a bunch of them and noticed one called ATube had that nifty little hidden feature (not detailed anywhere in description). So I bought the one time license for it and uninstalled the original YT app. WIN!
