Speaking purely for myself, the speed difference the PlayStation 5 seems to offer is more appealing to me. The raw power difference between the PlayStation 5 and the Series X looks like it will be smaller than the speed difference overall. The speed the PS5 offers should free up developers more to make the kind of games that they really want to, and also make for more immersive play experiences for gamers wherein it becomes much easier to forget that you're playing a game.
That's just in terms of hardware, of course. The library of games that become available for either in the launch window will be a more important factor determining which I get first. However...realistically, that's also going to be a winning column for the PS5 to me, based on what sort of games Sony has earned a rep for of late.
I make very little money, so price may also be a factor that affects my prioritization of which new console to buy first. However, let's be real, any advantage that either may have over the other in terms of price will also likely be had by the PS5.
Thus, it's realistically going to be the PS5 first for me. Microsoft will have to really surprise and impress me to persuade me to buy a Series X this year instead of next year.
