I have both and they are both quality consoles in their own right,but if I had to choose one it would be the PS4.SJ.

What console's do most of your mates have?These next Gen machines are strictly about online gaming,so what consoles your friends have would be the console you should get.But on paper the PS4 is the most powerful next gen console.SJ.

PS4 all day for me. I think the look and feel of the xbox menus are better than the ps4, but the ps4 has better performance and much better games coming out.

Thats the problem, its kind of a split. One mate has xbox one other PS4 other mates don't go on same games i do, so doesn't really matter. On the xbox one can you pause the game and go on other things like web etc as you can on playstaion 3?

Another thing to factor in is that the xbox comes with the camera out of the box. You don't get a camera with the PS4 unless you buy it separately. Although there aren't really that many things that properly utilize the camera yet on PS4...so its no biggy yet.

I thought you could buy XB1 without Kinect now as loads of people complained (amongst other things) that they were being charged for something they didn't want or need?

Don't buy either yet!!!

PS4 the superior bit of kit, but whether the technical superiority translates into anything more than fodder for the fanboys as opposed to meaningful differences between the same titles on the two consoles is yet to become clear!

For the moment, get the one your mates have if you play on-line or the one with the exclusives you prefer if you don't!

You can buy without Kinect. I would never buy Kinect as its to intrusive. If you look at xbox setting Kinect can record audio when ever it likes and you have to selection option that xbox can't use the back ground noise.

Its all to intrusive for my liking.

1 of the things I considered was that you need to pay for Xbox live, but Playstation network is free and so went with the PS4. My son has the XB1 and having played the same games on both consoles I feel the PS4 is the better choice.

That's a bargain, I think it's the earlier model with the slightly louder fan noise.
