I must say if I hadn´t have already a PS4 (which recently broke down on me so PS4 Pro here I come) I would consider to wait at least another year when the XBONE Scorpio comes out and then decide later. The plus sides of the PS4 is really interesting exclusives Downside no UHD Blu Ray in the forseeable future and no backwards compatibility ( bought a second hand PS3 for that) Plus side of the XBONE: UHD Blu Ray Backwards compatibility Downside It has less interesting exclusives and 80% of those are now being ported to the PC. Genereally in the long run a console unless you go second hand in everything is more expensive than a PC. You end up with cheaper hardware but spend more on the games and you have to play for online play as well.
