I'm afraid I'm horribly biased for the PS4. I'm a franchise player, and Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, and Uncharted (also The Last of Us) are all on my automatic buy lists.

Plus, the XBox controller suuuuuuuuucks.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeee I love Uncharted too! I need to play them all again, since I haven't yet on my new account I made this year.

The first one was my favourite, 2 was amazing, 3 was still good but kinda slipping tbh

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

The PS4 is actually a more powerful machine, because its memory is better.  Often times Xbox One games have to make concessions, like a slightly lower resolution, to get a game to run correctly.  The new Halo wasn't able to pull off co-op play and a high frame rate and resolution, so co-op was cut.  The PS4 doesn't have to worry about issues like that.

The PS4 controller is also better than the Xbox One controller, in my opinion, and that's coming from someone that has always strongly preferred Xbox controllers.  I do have to have a grip cover on it to fit my hand better, though.  

The Xbox does have the new Halo, though, but the biggest thing I wish I could play is Gears of War.  Of course, I'll probably forget about that when Uncharted 4 comes out...

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.
