As someone who moved from Xbox to Playstation, I would suggest Playstation if you’re more inclined on story/solo games and some famous games like The Last Of Us, God Of War, etc. Xbox is great for multiplayer games and if you like Halo then buy an Xbox.
Personally, I moved to Playstation as I had no one to really play multiplayer games with and it is more fun to achieve trophies on PS as they have more value. Completing games to 100% on Xbox is not as rewarding as it is only 1000 Gamerscore (mainly) per game and I was looking for a bigger reward for completing games to their optimum. If you’re looking for a more rewarding system convert over to PS as you can trophies which mean more, there are bronze, silver, gold & platinum trophies.
However, Xbox is way better at backwards compatible games like you can play Xbox 360 games on a Xbox Series X and even original Xbox games like Red Dead Revolver, Silent Hill games, old CODS & more. Backwards compatible games on PS are lacklustre, you cannot get PS3 games on a PS5 mainly - only if you have Playstation Plus by which you can stream them with but only a select few on the service. If you’re fancying Red Dead Redemption 1, that game is only available on Xbox too as Playstation no longer has it backwards compatible, you’d have to buy a PS3/2/1 if you want to play older games.
I did have Game-pass but none of the games on Gamepass really captured my attention to be honest. If you want a wide selection of games for cheap then choose Xbox as you can also play the Xbox Gamepass games for free on PC with PC gamepass. Not to mention, you can get Fifa and stuff for free on Gamepass if you’re into football or any type of sports games tbh.
In my opinion, I found the exclusives were my main incentive to move onto Playstation as the solo games/story games were very limited on Xbox and exclusives on Xbox seemed to be Indie games that I was just not interested in. If you prefer to play alone and like to play story games then Playstation is good for you (Playstation also has a lot of multiplayer games but their access to older multiplayer games are limited such as old PvZs (which has servers still full on Xbox)), but if you want to play online with multiplayer and sports games then Xbox is better for you.
I’ve looked in the comments and I wouldn’t even recommend choosing Nintendo Switch if you’re looking for online shooter games.

Yes this I know it's definitely the more powerful of the 2 but sometimes it's all about the games And I'm not real familiar with ps5 exclusives

People say that but it’s not true. Outside of God of War, Spider-Man, and Last of Us, there wasn’t much I cared for on Sony exclusives. I went back to Xbox and I’m happy with that decision. Xbox has exclusives like Halo, Gears of War, High on Life, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Forza, Redfall, Fable, Starfield etc. I’d take most of those over what Sony offers. To each their own.

If I am not wrong and you like online FPS, I would go either Xbox or PS5 route. It depends on which platform all your friends play.
In my case, I went to the Xbox route and I don't regret it. Moreover, I would expect more FPS coming to Xbox, as idSoftware, MachineGames, The Coalition, Arkane or 343i. Maybe CoD and Activision too.
So, it's up to you. You won't regret anyways!

Get a ps5 because the switch version is going to look and run worse than the other consoles

If you like Halo and shooters, then Xbox Series X is absolutely the way to go! Not to mention great games like Gears of War, High on Life (huge release and big fan base for that exclusive now) and Redfall (check it out) is also an exclusive coming to Xbox in a few months. I’m really looking forward to exclusives like Redfall, Starfield, and the new Fable. You can always play shooters like COD, Far Cry and Destiny on Xbox too of course.
The Series X is basically a high powered gaming PC. Plus you have Game Pass to play or try out various games and exclusives. If you want a variety, I’d get a Series S and a Switch, but if you’re hardcore into shooters and open world adventure games you can’t go wrong with an Xbox Series X. I love mine.

Let's see if I can describe this... I cover the analogue cap with my thumb, putting the center of the cap in the center of the last section of my finger (like behind the lower potion of the thumbnail), which means there's a few mm of my finger sticking outside the stick cap. I hold the fingers more or less 45° rotated to the center of the gamepad, and when tilting both analogue sticks towards each other, my thumbs touch, preventing the full tilt of the sticks.
This is a problem for me on PS4 pads, and quite severe on PS3, though doesn't really happen on Logitech F710. I'm an adult, nearing 40yo, my hands have slightly longer than average fingers. This seems like a thing related to the size of the gamepads, I imagine PS1 dual shocks could be unplayable for me.
