I have never owned a console and since i have started earning money, and that isn't an issue, which one is the better one ? Backwards compatibility isn't going to be important, both consoles support it for at least for 1 generation. Which console will have the best games going forward and from the last gen?
Edit. I know there are 100s of these posts on reddit. Thanks everybody for taking time and for the comments.

The PS5 has all of the PlayStation exclusives, most are considered some of the best games of all time and are critically acclaimed. So considering you’ll have access to all of the current and last gen games as well as the PlayStation exclusives, you’ll have the biggest and best library.
Both Xbox and PlayStation have a “game pass” which allow you to pay a monthly fee to access hundreds of games, including the exclusives.
Backwards compatibility is a massive selling point for the Xbox but you said that wasn’t something you were interested in.
Xbox has slightly better performance at the cost of a smaller library and no access to any of the phenomenal exclusives PlayStation has.
That being said Xbox does have its exclusives like Gears and Halo. Unfortunately most of the big Xbox exclusives have underperformed and not garnered the critical acclaim the PlayStation ones have.
So it’s really up to whether you want a bigger library and access to some of the best games available on the market. Or a slightly smaller library, unable to access the exclusives with better performance.
I own both consoles and personally PlayStation is the main pick solely because of the exclusives. My favourite game of all time is a PlayStation exclusive and I’d prefer to have access to them, than to not.
Both are great consoles though.
