With a new console generation scheduled for the end of this year, I’d hold off getting a PS4 or Xbone now. Even if you don’t need the upgrade, I’d expect some decent discounts on the current gen in the next year.

Regarding current hardware, between Sony and MS, Sony is the clear winner. Switch is nice if you like Nintendo titles and/or don’t want to be stuck in one room.

If you’re price conscious, PC is the way to go. You likely need one anyway, and between Steam sales and Epic game store freebies you’ll spend far less on software.

If you do go with PlayStation, I recommend PSN+. You can pick up a year subscription for cheap around Black Friday/Cyber Monday/EOY and it gives you two free games each month. At least one of them is usually decent or better.
