Personally, I don't like the PlayStation because in my opinion, Sony doesn't know what they're doing and needs to stay the heck out of the gaming industry (everything else they do is fine for the most part though) and some other stuff. 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.
