The answer is simple. Ps4. Not because of fanboy reasons, and not because one exclusive over the other. The reason is simple and two fold. First is design. Ps4 is designed for gaming and it's community. Period. You can have all the tv stuff if you want on it, but in the end, it's purely designed for gaming. The U.I is more intuitive and easy to navigate. Second is longevity. Both systems have virtually the same specs, the difference is utilization of these specs. In order for the xbox 1 to do what it does, it uses three operating systems at once (to play games and tv at the same time, ect). However operating systems eat Ram. That's why right out of the gate xbox one is having issues with 1080 p 60 FPS. There's not enough memory. Now earlier on a console generation it doesn't usually matter for the first couple years, but as games get more detailed and diverse ( and this console generation suppose to last 10 years according to both companies) they will have to start pulling from the multiple running apps to accommodate the higher memory demands ( they already released a patch for their kinnect to be used less by the xbox to give it more memory to use for games. 10% they said. That's in the first year alone! ). Either that or you will eventually see game developers mandating certain features be turned off while a game is running. In short, to get the most long term bang for your buck, go with a ps4. I loved my 360, but so far, ps4 has won this console generation.
