To my knowledge, there's also very little that runs on Xbox that doesn't on Windows, and while earlier in its lifecycle it held an advantage in bang-for-buck, that's no longer nearly as true. At this point, for most people between the two it makes more sense to buy a PC, especially if factoring money saved on Steam sales and the like. For the remaining potential buyers who want a console for the "it just works" factor (which is still significant – point in case, look at how poorly Windows handles even first-party Microsoft-branded controllers in the absence of Steam, not to mention the GPU driver mess among other things), an Xbox holds little advantage over a PS5, and depending on the type of games you want to play, even over a Switch.
