I would get the ps4 as if that’s your only thing you want to do you still have a machine able to play modern games, and unlike what happened to the wii you will probably be able to watch Netflix longer on the ps4 than the 3

I have series S and am very happy with it, very smooth and fast, X can be more powerful but even 720p is enough for me. You shouldn't pay more for a console because it will use value in the near future.

I think the choice between xbox and playstation is difficult for someone who has never been a gamer. I have had every ps console except the 5 because I'm skint. Myself and hubby both love the PlayStation. My 2 teens love their xboxes. Honestly we have a stupid amount of consoles in this house. I have tried the xbox but it just doesn't grab me the way the playstation does. I suppose if I cared more about the graphics and all that technical stuff it might be a different situation.

Xbox series S would be my suggestion, you can also put retroarch on it and play PlayStation 2 and earlier games and most of the Nintendo back catalogue if you want, plenty of YouTube videos will show you how, it will be far quieter and quicker than a PS3 and certainly a PS4 as they tent to be quite loud when playing some games (Xbox’s are always quieter). You can pick them up pre owned pretty cheap too.

TLDR; Series s is newer, faster, better

Get the Xbox series s , a playstation 4 at this point is a waste of money as it's last gen and can barely run new games, in a few months no more games will release on ps4 because last gen is slowly being phased out. The series s is a new, superfast console with multiple times faster loading times than even the most powerful last gen console (xbox one x), 60 fps in most games unlike the ps4s 30 fps. Cyberpunk runs smooth 60 on series s whereas on ps4 it's unplayable, below 30 often

Gamepass ultimate for a small monthly fee gives you access to a ton of games and ea play too

Don't think about getting a PS3 at this point.
