I have the Xbox one.
I love it, but I can admit the graphics on ps4 are superior.
I plan on getting a Ps4 used in a few months. I can get a 15% discount on it from work. So can't pass that up.
Growing up I was always a playstation kid, so even if I play the same game on each system. I prefer it on playstation mostly for the reason that I don't have to look at the controller to know which button to press. XD

It's true. The xbox One got titles like Ryse and sunset over drive.
But the ps4 has the order 1886, and the last of us.
PS4 definitely. Sony has always been my number one favourite when it comes to home consoles (Nintendo wins handheld) since the PS1. Plus, I love the Dualshock controllers.
I've used my Dad's Xbox One a couple times, but nothing about it really made me want my own. The only game I've played on it was one I had already planned to buy for the PS4 anyway.

Like the vast majority of TBT users, I went for PS4. While gameplay isn't as focused as Wii U would typically do, Sony's brand new video game console still have a nice amount of variety in its game library despite having quite a lot of ports. This is mostly attributed to how its architecture is significantly easier for developers than the initially infamously difficult-to-develop PS3. If you dislike PC gaming and can afford to spend more of your hard-earned cash, then PS4 is a great alternative.
Xbox One's current game library is pretty much run-of-the-mill affair, without any title that really stands out the crowd. I think I'll wait for a few more years and see if Microsoft's offerings are getting more interesting than that.

I've gotten the Xbox and the Xbox 360, currently I don't have any thing outside the Wii U in the current gen consoles but if I get a one (which I might one day, but a huge maybe) I would go with a PS4. Xbox One has a bunch of stuff I don't need, I just want a simpler gaming console. Plus, I don't like trusting Microsoft with my hardware, my 360 has gotten wonky a few times.

There's practically no difference between the two physically that I care about. I buy it for games first and foremost, any extra stuff is just that, extra stuff.
But I'll say PS4 based on a few things.
One being I've always had a Playstation in my house since the PS1 released. I have bias.
The other being history, which with both consoles having very little in terms of exclusive content right now is all I have to go on.
- Sony consoles have always had a bunch of high quality games I can't get anywhere else (discounting rereleases on future consoles) and of many different genres. Looking back at the past three Sony consoles, I'm really spoiled for choice on the variety of games available.
- Microsoft consoles are pretty sparce in terms of exclusives in the first place (I mean actual exclusives you buy a console for, not tat from the XBLA). They pretty much consist of Halo (which I do love) and a few games of questionable quality that never get past the first game...It will get one negatively received sequel that becomes a cult classic if they're lucky (Like Viva Pinata)
Practically all their good 'exclusives' end up elsewhere rather quickly...Mass Effect, Bioshock and Lost Planet were a few of these which I own on my PS3. Almost all of them get a PC release which to me, doesn't make them exclusive at all.
They also have waaaaaay too much reliance on 'timed exclusivity' which to me, just means I have to wait a little longer to get the same thing on Playstation...Along with Playstation's 'actual' exclusives.
Buying an Xbone, to me, really is just buying a gimped PC since it never takes that long for their few existing exclusives to start cropping up on Steam.
I regret buying a 360. The amount of Xbox exclusive games I have on that compared to the other consoles is embarrassing. Same goes with the OG Xbox.

Last of Us isn't exclusive to PS4, to Sony consoles sure but eh it's just a port. The Order isn't out yet and if we're going by that I guess the Xbox has more right? Halo: MCC, Halo 5, Crackdown 3, Fable Legends, Scalebound, and the game that has me really excited Quantum Break.
Still I say PC is best cause Japanese developers are finally releasing games on it. Here's hoping FFXV comes to it!

Antisocial
Uncharted (this one alone is a good enough reason), The Last of Us, Infamous and Little Big Planet to name a few~
Xbox exclusives don't interest me very much. Halo is awesome and Titanfall looks interesting but I'm not going to buy that monstrosity of a console for one or two games....
my biggest issue with Xbox is their lack of variety, it's like their best games are FPS or TPS :/

Well that's what I was getting at. It was a playstation exclusive. Which is the same thing.
But Halo 5 has not as much hype as you'd think. We have had maybe 5 people pre order it at my gamestop.
The order has been super popular and has had tons of preorders. Fable legends so far I've only heard fable lovers(including my boyfriend) complain about it because it's not the same.
I just feel playstation always has the better exclusices because with xbox it's always halo, and maybe one or two other game here and there.
PlayStation has always had far more games exclusive to it that I'm interested compared to XBox, so it wins.
Actually thinking, Microsoft doesn't even have anything to sell me on their consoles. lel
Nintendo wins for first party exclusives.
Sony wins for third party exclusives+a bit of first party.
Microsoft supposedly has the best online, but idc about that.
PC master race tho. (also: why I don't care about XBox's online)
