I prefer having both the PC for PC-only games such as World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, etc., and the Xbox for Xbox-only games such as Halo, plus a controller is a bit easier for me to use with shooter games than a keyboard. All in all, it really comes down to personal preference.

Also my (really smart) friend said the Xbox One has a bit better hardware than PlayStation 4, and that Xbox Live has better security than PlayStation Network (as seen in the Christmas hack attacks). And if you're comparing PlayStation and Xbox and trying to find a cheaper/free online service, it's now the Xbox. With the PlayStation, it used to be that PlayStation Network was free but you had to pay money for PlayStation Network Plus, now you have to pay for just PlayStation Network itself, and its about double the cost/month of Xbox Live Gold.

Again, it's all really just personal preference.

Actually, the PS4 and Xbox One have the same or VERY similar GPS and CPS to what I know. It's a myth that the PS4 has better specs than the Xbox One.

They're basically the same product hardware wise, with a few minor differences..

PS4 has AA, whereas Xbox One doesn't; that's why most graphics look a little better on PS4 than Xbox One, not hardware wise.

The games and the price is what changes it, really.

Also, you know that Xbox Live was hacked too by the Christmas attacks, right? Not just a PS thing. I've compared the PS4 and XB1 graphics side-by-side and personally I like the Xbox One graphics better.

And I know that Xbox Live was hacked on Christmas, I wasn't able to do anything on Xbox until 8 PM that night, but PlayStation Network suffered worse from the attacks than Xbox Live.
