I'm a gaming free agent with money to burn. Help me pick between PC, Xbox, and PS5.

I recently purchased Forza Horizon 4 because it was about to be delisted from all digital storefronts. I bought the game despite the fact that I don't own an Xbox or a gaming PC. The fear of missing out on one of the best racing games of the last decade forced my hand, though a massive sale meant it was a small investment to secure the ability to play Forza Horizon 4 in the future.

But after making that purchase, I thought to myself, "this is silly. I just bought a game to make sure I can play it in the future... why don't I just play it now." I'm not rolling in cash, but I'm in my mid-thirties and have a stable job. I can set aside some money to game. It's not like you have to get a 4K OLED ultrawide monitor and a $2,000 gaming machine to play games these days.
