I've been on team xbox for two generations (Xbox andXbox360), now migrated for the first time to PS4 because a friend sort of coerced me to switch. I used to think that Xbox was a bit more quirky and receiving more love from developers than the mainstream PS platform, but I don't really look back. I think it boils down to exclusive titles, hardware wise it's really eye level. I personally was getting tired of the Halo thing for example, loved it at first but now it's just milking that franchise. Also, I remember being jealous of games such as Heavy Rain and Last of Us. Now with PS4 I get to catch up on that, and The Last of Us quite frankly for me has been a revelation and probably the best video game I have ever played. So that alone confirmed me in my choice. On top, Destiny, another of my favourites, also seems to get more attention on PS4, so thats another fortuitous thing.
Two more things Ive grown really fond of: The controller (i was VERY skeptical coming from the 360, but I know think it's the best controller especially for shooting games). And the 'share' option on your controller. In both cases I cant speak for the xbox one, but the fact that any headset will work (eg my beats) with the wireless controller is sublime and enhances the game experience a lot. As for share; I love to take screenshots and video snippets of my gaming, which is stored in a media capture library and always lovely to visit after some time to eg reminisce about a game's finale or highlights or whatever. Again, no idea how well xbox one performs in those regards, but to me the PS4 serves exactly my needs as a casual gamer. I also think that graphically (the order) it may have the edge, but thats obviously a close call and a contentious statement to make.
either way, I dont think you can go wrong.
