So - since there are a number of duplicate bug reports being sent over to this which aren't directly the same a comment about differentiation seems important.
My son is attempting to link a Sony account to an MS account and being presented with the "oops" message, but without the "please sign in to your previous account". We get "Please sign in with a Microsoft Account that is not already linked to an account for 'Playstation Network'"
From my perspective that's important because it's a different error. But is the same as MCPE-156174.
He has previously signed into the Microsoft account on Minecraft on the Switch and on iPads, but not on a PS5.
Linking my MS account (family head) and my daughter's account (on same privacy settings as son) to our unique sony accounts worked without an issue. Neither of us had previously connected our MS account to Minecraft though.
We have not previously owned Minecraft on a Playstation prior to this. He has not played Minecraft on a Playstation prior to this. It is not possible his account is already linked to a Sony account.
One interesting small point of note is that his Xbox activity screen will say "last seen on Minecraft for PS4" after the attempted sign in. Activity log on the Microsoft account shows no access to Minecraft for Playstation prior to August 31st (date we bought it) but is showing activity every day since due to us trying to sign in.
Version number 1.19.22.
More than happy to work with someone to troubleshoot this through if someone wants to reach out and discuss.
