I already have both an Xbox 360 and a PS3. At least on paper, the PS4 is better hardware than the Xbox One. Frankly, I'm not crazy about either offering.
Want to use controllers you already own? Fuck you. Want to play games online? Pay me, or fuck you. Want to use Xbox features that have nothing to do with Microsoft's network without paying for Live Gold? Fuck you. (That last one was *almost* the tipping point pushing me into the PS4 camp, except that I maintain a Gold subscription for other reasons, and I don't care about the features very much. The rent-seeking behavior is concerning, though.)
I ended up ordering an Xbox One Fallout 4 bundle. Why? There's at least *some* backwards compatibility, and I have far more Xbox titles that I still play.
