Gabe Newell Says Xbox Series X is Better Than PS5
Co-founder of Valve Gabe Newell is stuck in New Zealand (not a bad place to be stuck tbh) due to a Corona quarantine. And that gave him some time for interviews. While doing so he gave made his opinion on the upcoming next-gen console launch known. Appearing on the television program The Project, Newell was asked by one of the hosts which he thinks is better between the Xbox Series X and PS5.
“Uh, the Xbox,” Newell responded plainly. When pressed on why he thought it was a better platform, Newell simply said, “Because it is.” After some laughs were had by the audience, Newell expanded a bit more with, “I don’t have a stake in that race. Obviously, we do most of our development on personal computers. But of the two, I would definitely go with an Xbox.”
Obviously he'll say whatever suits his wallet the best.

10 years old PC does not even support DX12. HW from that time is like DX11 feature level 0. For AMD it is time of ending VLIW5, short live of VLIW4 and then year later GCN came.
GPUs from that time are not even great at brute force, nor have spare VRAM in today's standards.

Better is relative. When it comes to specs, it seems XSX may offer better graphics, whereas PS5 will probably offer an experience with less waiting and stuttering (due to loading in data).
When it comes to games, PS5 seems to be a little more ahead, but that doesn't mean XSX won't have good exclusives down the road.
Not like I care - I'm not getting either system.
You may want to invest in VR. Half-Life: Alyx is often considered HL3.
