Should I get an Xbox or PlayStation?

I’m getting my first apartment in August and decided to save up to buy myself a console. BUT I’m having trouble deciding, so Xbox or PlayStation? It’s my understanding that price wise they can be similar and there are games that can be played across platforms. Any opinions for either one or both are appreciate

Edit: to clarify, I do want a pc eventually, but I’m moving across the country and will only be in this apartment for a year, so I’m going to wait until I’m in a more permanent arrangement. Thank for the comments so far!
