I would just get the PS5. It's a much better console even though both use similar chips in both designs. The PS operating system is much smoother and operates quicker. Now the question is Disc or Digital. I have both and I can tell you the DISC is great if you want to grab an occasional blu ray from time to time. I only bought the digital so I would have a dedicated console just for Gran Turismo 7 with the simulator but now its just collecting dust. But if you have a PC I'm not sure a console would be ideal for gaming in this day and age. Just my opinion as a game developer and owner of mostly every console from N64/PS1 to today.

Problem is that my xbox doesn't work anymore so i dont have a console at all at the moment just the games from my xbox one

If you want access to more games, then PS5 is the answer. Between PS5 and Xbox One, you'll have access to every current Xbox game except Flight Simulator and Scorn. The 2 other upcoming games this year you'll be missing out on this year (if you care about them) will be Redfall and Starfield. Although I feel Starfield might be getting pushed again until later this year/next year.

The exclusives on PlayStation that I want to play haven't released (Marvel games) so at the moment I wouldn't really be playing any of the other exclusives but I definitely don't mind trying any of them. But thanks for the advice I appreciate it.

Yeah that's one thing to note to differentiate. Games are expensive right now and all publishers are jumping on the bandwagon putting prices up. That said there are often sales and deals. As someone else said below about storage the PS5 is HUGE lol. The first thing I said, or rather yelled when I took it out if the box was "it's f**king huge!" lol. And I personally think it's hideous where others like it. I'll definitely go for a slim if they ever release one.
As for game prices I still buy physical because I'm old fashioned, like to own my games and deals happen faster lol. Plus they have trade in value if you don't want to keep them because discounts on digital stores don't come around very often. It's hard to say what's best for you really, in the end it's your choice that matters. All I or we can do is give you our opinions.
I've just finished my first run on Hogwarts Legacy and I loved it! Just three trophies away from the platinum. (Yeah I'm one of 'those') lol.
Edit. Oh and Sony still haven't nailed how to make a great controller. I mean the dualsense is good but that's something I have to give Xbox credit for, I like their controllers more. I turned off the haptic feedback because it weakened one of the triggers on my launch controller. Sony replaced it for free and have apparently redesigned the triggers but I'm not turning them back on just in case. Don't care for it anyway. Something to note in my experience.

I have both.
Because I am lucky enough to afford both and use the both for different things.
PS5 for PSVR2, GranTurismo, Last of Us, Uncharted, Spiderman, etc.
Xbox for Halo, Forza, Flight Sim and Game Pass.
​
It comes down to what you feel you will play more.
Storage can also be an issue. Both consoles are massive beasts but the Xbox is easier to put somewhere due to the dense brick shape.

No problem. I doubt any of the Marvel stuff will be coming out on Xbox honestly since Sony seem to be working closely with Disney to produce games from Marvel. Xbox was offered Spider-Man but turned it down. Contrary to those who believe it's being blocked which it isn't. Sony published it, funded it and insomniac developed it. PlayStation now has its own service in which many of its PS4 first party titles are either on it or starting to show up so a way to access them and try them without shelling out a ton of money. But if Marvel is your primary concern then it's safe to say that PlayStation might be the way to go for you.
If you can afford to do it maybe a PS5 and the Series S (a cheaper entry point) might give you the best of both worlds.

I don't have a PS4 and my Xbox one doesn't exactly work anymore so either console would benefit me. Im mainly interested in marvel and DC stuff so not really interested in any of the other exclusives except for maybe ghost of Tsushima but I definitely don't mind trying new things. Thanks for your input though extremely helpful!

It primarily comes down to the games over the box. Evaluate what they each have and what you're likely to play. You say you have an Xbox One? Do you also have a PS4? as of right now there isn't much on the Xbox side to play that isn't on the Xbox One. Likewise there a few PS exclusives but if you also have a PS4 you've likely played a lot of them.
Spider-Man is out this fall. Wolverine is currently unknown. Personally I have the PS5 and skipped the Xbox this time around. For me Sony's first party exclusives are incredible and Xbox has nothing for me personally anymore to match it. They have their GamePass service but honestly in my experience 90% of it is filler content I've already played last gen.
After playing several Sony first party games like The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne, Demon Souls, GoW, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West (incredible games), MediEvil, Ratchet and Clank, Heavy Rain, Detroit Become Human, Uncharted,
I feel currently Xbox even with their service has nothing to compete with these titles. But these games I've played might not even be to your taste. As cliche as it may sound, in my experience it's quantity (Xbox) over quality (PS). StarField is coming for Xbox soon and I've watched the showcase. Honestly, to me it looks boring. Bethesda just isn't all that anymore (personal opinion)
Sure I like Halo but it's gotten stale and since Bungie left lost its way. I love gears but that hasn't been the same since it moved from Epic Games. Xbox are making acquisitions in the form of Activision for CoD and Bethesda for Fallout but I feel I won't be missing much. I stopped playing competitive multiplayer and there are more and better RPG's these days than Fallout. Immortals Fenyx Rising and the Witcher for example. Plus Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Remake, a classic is on the way exclusively (at present) for PlayStation.
I feel the only things that can compete with Sony's Library is The Legend of Zelda (huge fan) from Nintendo, and Persona from Sega/Atlus (that is on PlayStation anyway. And bear in mind they both get all the third party games so the exclusives are the driving factor.
These are just my personal thoughts and subjective. To me these days, the Xbox feels seriously lacking to games like these. I hope you make the right choice for YOU.

Don't know about it. I'm thinking using gamepass. In the other hand softmodding. Games are pretty expensive in here even PS3 games. People generally softmod their consoles and people think original games are too premium so 2nd hand games are a mass. Its sometimes 20$ for a fifa14 in PS3 and it's a joke. (Btw 20$ is considered big money in here about 400 in our currency) If I'm going to buy a Xbox I'm gonna use gamepass. If I'm gonna buy Wii U+PS VITA then I will softmod them.

Because every single xbox game is playable on it apart from the kinect ones, the gamepass is brilliant and the games are cheaper because you don't need to have to constantly get cross gen bundle games you can just get the games optimised fod series s, plus a lot of games on xbox nowadays are only playable on the series s or the x, so if you were me I'd be getting the series s

Reply to Series S VS WII U+PS VITA by yed4ever
Well wii u has exclusive games that aren't on switch eg. Wind waker, series s isn't much different from the one s or one x or even just the one, psvita is a handheld version of the PlayStation and you get to play any PlayStation games on ps vita, ps vita isn't that much different than the ps portable, i highly recommend wii u but the eshop services are shutting down so if you want to get a wii u game it has to be a physical game, series s has good graphics though

Get the Series S, you will be able to play current gen games and emulate older consoles.

That's a tough call, then. It really depends on how many and how important those xbox games are to you. Also, how many of them are also available on PS5 would be a factor.
Obviously, you don't want to pay for the same games twice if you can help it. But it couldn't hurt to see if any of them are included in the PS Plus subscription service. Or, if you only have a couple of games that you must have, maybe cheap physical copies are available for PS5. This way, you get access to the exclusives you mentioned and still keep some of the games you already like playing.
If it looks like you'd be buying duplicate games totaling approximately$100, then you may want to consider just buying another Xbox One instead. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find one for $80. I see them for $100 all of the time.
If that's too much and/or you just really like your current library, then get the Series X. It'll make your current games look better and play better. Of course, you'll miss out on the Marvel exclusives you mentioned and the yearly Sony GOTY contenders. But, the Series X is still a great system.
