As far as I know yeah. It's just like making an account for anything else nowadays. You make a username, put in some basic stuff like name age DOB, they'll want a credit card for buying games and subscriptions, the usual. Setting up my new Xbox I just plugged it in, put in the wifi, connected the controller, logged in to my account, it did a quick update, download games, done.

If you really want one over the other that's fine, they're both great. The real thing you should evaluate is which console has the games you want to play. Performance, UI, storage, all that is pretty negligible in my book. Controller if that's a big deal to you.

Xbox is more backwards compatible, the whole "easier to jump in if you don't have an established past with them" is taking Sony's lack of maintaining a feature and acting like it's an attractive selling point.

Sony has some great first party exclusives, Xbox has some greater utility that spreads back to older generations, the PC, and a multi use controller that connects to PC and smart phones easily

Both are always comparable, play the one where your friends are at the most.
