I'd get PS4 if you want it for pure gaming purposes.



It is the slightly more powerful machine and more RAM is dedicated to games since theres not as much background processes as Xbox One. Also its $100 (£80) cheaper than Xbox One.



On top of that, whilst Xbox One has more exclusives a lot of them look really rubbish, take Ryse: Son Of Rome for instance, just a game full of quick time events and Dead Rising 3 looks no where near as fun as the previous two. Meanwhile the exclusives on PS4 look a lot more interesting such as Infamous Second Son and The Order 1866 (I believe its an exclusive anyway).



Also, whilst PS4 does have DRM policies they are not completely compulsory. In Xbox One there is DRM no matter what, in PS4 it is up to the publishers to decide and its unlikely they would implement massive DRM since the PR disaster from Microsoft and the Xbox One. Furthermore, PS4 fully supports pre-owned games and the used game market and games can be sold, lended and traded in at will.



Also if you plan to take your console to areas where there is no internet connection or a poor one PS4 requires no internet at all to play games on singleplayer mode, unlike Xbox One. Xbox One requires an internet check every 24 hours and every single hour when playing a game, single or multiplayer. If you miss thiese checks your Xbox One cannot play games at all and basically becomes an expensive brick. The PS4 on the other hand works absolutely fine with no internet.



Then theres backwards compatibility. Xbox One has none what so ever, rendering your 360 and Xbox Original titles useless without those consoles. Whilst PS4 is inherently not backwards compatible, Sony plan to make it so through the Gaikai streaming system meaning you can stream older games dating back to the PS1 days.



Finally, yes you do have to pay for PlayStation Plus to play online now, but Sony have stated that this is for legitimate reasons such as the whole internet server thing costs a lot of money (which it does) but they have said that they hope to continue all the benefits of Plus such as the discounts, free games etc. However if you just want singleplayer games and the multimedia access, the free version of Playstation Online allows you to use things like Netflix and Unlimited TV/Music for absolutely free. Xbox One also has a paid subscription for Xbox Live, however it is unlikely there will be any benefits such as free games and discounts on the Xbox One via Live as they never did so on Xbox 360, on 360 games that are 6 years old are still full price on their store. Also you have to pay for Xbox Live to access the multimedia things such as Netflix.



Just to point out I am not a PlayStation Fanboy, I have both consoles and play to, at some point own both Xbox One and PS4. Its just as your first console of the next gen, get a PS4. All of this information is fact with some slight intelligent guessing and I got it all from the E3 Sony Conference and various gaming news sites and interviews.

ok guy, i'm purely gonna inform you something which will blow your strategies! Xbox took away regulations and the bs, however the PS4 nonetheless beats the xbone's ***! Why? If no longer equivalent, extra applicable pictures and extra applicable physique quotes than Xbone. What does Xbox have? Titan Fall? i'm sorry yet after the comments i've got seen on the game, it somewhat is have been given no longer something yet multiplayer, without tale what so ever making the replay cost very low. PS4 has infamous and Killzone precise now, and Octodad alongside with Lego marvel at a lots larger high quality

Xbox One Pros:

+ Extremely fast switching between tasks (TV, movies, skype, etc.)

+ Kinect seems much improved with 1080p quality and more accurate tracking

+ Controller seems mostly the same except with improved d-pad

+ Compatible with Smartglass

+ Kinect voice commands (useful for when you're holding something, such as food)

+ Wi-Fi direct

+ You and 10 family members can access your games library from any Xbox

+ Skype integration



Xbox One Cons:

- Significantly less powerful than PS4 console

- No Backwards compatibility

- Most likely going to have to pay to play online

- Got to pay for Gold to access media apps and multiplayer

- Kinect doesn't ever actually turn off

PS4

Pros:

+ Great new controller.

+ Improved UI over the PS3's.

+ Exciting slate of games announced for the year,

+ $100 cheaper than xbox one.

+ Camera is optional, and only $60.

+ Playstation Plus is a great value despite what some PS3 owners might gripe about.

+ Small and quiet.

+ Replaceable non-proprietary harddrives.

+ 50% more powerful graphics card then the Xbox one's



Cons:

- Sony needs to continue working on the UI and updating it over time so as to keep it streamlined.

- The light bar on the controller can't be turned off. Maybe a future system update will offer this option.

- Use of the trackpad seems gimmicky in most game so far.

- No DLNA or MP3 support

- No backwards compatibility

- You have to pay for PS Plus to use multiplayer

It all comes down to the games. Look at the exclusives available to each console and decide which you like best.



X1 has this pretty nifty feature: http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/54648/ms-confirms-xbox-one-family-sharing-feature-allows-up-to-any-ten-people



Despite all the PS4 fan-boy propaganda, the consoles are almost identical. The only policy Microsoft has different is the Online Authentication, Region-locking, and 21 countries support.



Contrary to popular belief, PS4 WILL support DRM policies. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/194126/On_PS4_DRM_measures_are_up_to_the_thirdparties.php



I'm getting a One because I like Xbox better. However the PS4 is a solid console with solid titles.
