If you prefer digital the Xbox probably the way to go. Especially since it has expansion storage slot for SSD which is important if you don’t wanna uninstall games to make room. Plus gamepass

Depending whether you care about physical media or not, PS5 has more physical media games, Xbox has game pass. I prefer physical games so I recommend PS5. I have both though. I like the Xbox memory expansion, but truth is it doesnt have as many games, especially imports and limited print games.

Physical media has many many advantages. You can trade in games. You can collect games. You get art work. You can buy a physical game for a present and wrap it. You get better deals when games go on clearance. Yes digital games can also go on sale, but all the money you put to digital games go to the corporation. You will never see any of that money back.

If you like to have a lot of obscure games get a PS5 with a disc. If you are more of a mainstream gamer get an XBOX. Xbox also has easy storage expansion that PS5 does not. Running out of room? Uninstall it because you already have a DISC for reinstall.

This is what executives want you to think. But part of what makes games fun to buy and collect is art work, and collecting. If you take that out of it I for one would buy less games. There are many small companies taking digital only games and putting them on physical media and business is booming.
