I just picked one up tonight. I now have an Xbox 360, a MSI GS70 Stealth gaming laptop, and a PS4. I think I'm good now ;) I went with the play station because I was sort of forced into buying the Xbox when I have liked ps better all along. I wanted to play destiny ( and shadow of mordor coming up) and I wanted the next gen graphics and such. Not to mention my ancient Xbox has no wireless connection. So I picked up a ps4. Very impressed with it after a few hours. I definitely think though the choice should be based on networking with friends. If they all have one console over another, go with that console. As it stands for me, my friends all have xboxes, but my cousins have ps3s. So I wanted to connect with them on the psn, since they are the bigger gamers. So that's my long winded answer you probably don't care about haha. Good luck.
