I have the ps4 and am really enjoying it so far. The controller is the best I have ever used, in my opinion. I have not used the xbox one(as it hasn't been released yet) but if you are going to primarily be playing games I would go with the ps4. Its gpu is more powerful and the ddr5 ram is a little faster, though I don't think that matters that much. Definitely consider the entertainment features that the xbox has, though. It would make a great addition to your home theater, if that matters to you.
