Playing League of Legends ARAM.

Situational HUD should be a feature for every game. Why do I need to see my health bar on screen when it’s full and I’m not even fighting?

The main factor here is what their friends have as you can not play with people on the other console. You said their friends have a blend so then it comes down to personal preference.

Xbox has great backwards compatibility and good PC integration with Xbox Play Anywhere. It also has Xbox Gamepass which is the best bang for your buck when it comes to games.

PlayStation however has more and better exclusives. These exclusives are especially great for the casual gamer. Also if I remember correctly (not 100% sure) PlayStation is the slightly more powerful console nowadays which means a better overall experience when playing games. Better looking, faster loading times, etc.
