The PlayStation 4 is a bit faster than Xbox One, but it's also usually a
bit more expensive.  I'd say it comes down to the games you want to play
and the controller you like.  One advantage of the XB1 controller is that
while you can use both with a PC, the XB1 controller will be recognized
as an Xbox 360 controller by most games, while the PS4 controller may
require remapping buttons and special software to trick the game into
thinking its a Xbox 360 controller.

The PS4 has more games that are only available on that platform, and not
on the XB1 or the PC.  A good example of a PlayStation exclusive would
be MLB: The Show 16, which makes the PS4 your only option if you want
to play a modern MLB game.  There's no alternative available on the XB1.

There aren't that many games available for the XB1 that aren't also
available on the PS4 or PC. Though the XB1 does have some "exclusives"
that require Windows 10 to play on the PC, like the Forza racing games.
The biggest truly exclusive XB1 game is Sunset Overdrive.  Many of the
rest of the actual exclusives are Kinect games.

Complicating matters is the fact that fact both Sony and Microsoft are
coming out with newer faster versions of these consoles.  Microsoft's
"Project Scorpio" isn't coming until next year (note that this is not
the new Xbox One S, which is a streamlined Xbox One with only a few new
features), while the upgraded PlayStation 4 Pro is coming out on the 10th.

You might want to check out the Black Friday sales to see if either
console comes bundled with a game or two you actually want to play.
