If it’s a Playstation or Nintendo you get exclusive games, Xbox you don’t really, these games are available on Windows or cloud.
Though a lot of exclusives do get re-released on PC so not sure how much of a benefit that is.
I’ve seen mini PCs (Shared link to one in other comments) which are around the same price range as an Xbox Series S now. Maybe at one point it was a benefit but now there are good quality mid-range options for people getting into PC gaming (or who want a nice living room setup to play their casual games from steam on the big screen).
Plus the fact that all consoles have subscription costs associated with them means that they ultimately cost slightly more in the long run.

Xbox is just very cheap entry. I can’t give my son something the value of xbox series s (£110 when I picked it up)
