Xbox series X can be used both vertically and horizontally depending on the space available. 

So in terms in design the Xbox have a slight edge over PS5

In terms of controllers both the companies have difference of opinion as while the Xbox control is been made to easily make it comfortable to adapt for the previous Xbox players the PS5 provides more alien approach.

The PS5 looks more premium looks and boasts about being more help full for next gen games the Xbox is expected to have lesser cost (standalone) and provides more comfort to even the smaller hands.

Both consoles offer top notch performance, so you can't go wrong with either of them, PS5 will be easy on your pockets cuz of the digital variant that costs 100$(₹7350) less but if budget is not an issue you can go with Xbox.
