I have both systems and can only get it for one... and the PS4 has the edge on graphics (which I have to «try» and tell which one is which by screen shots side by side) I still go with the X1 on multiplats, for me the «snap feature» BY FAR makes up for the lost graphics (that in real gameplay hardly exists to me) plus my controller of choice, plus in my experience, the network is more stable... those things push me to the X1... I have Minecraft on both and everything just flows so much better on the X1, the OS, friends, messages,
party, just like it better... I mean, my PS4 dosent really feel much different than my PS3 did... but my X1 sure feels different than my 360 did... PS4 is a beast and ill play all
exclusives but the everyday «workhorse»
console for me is the Xbox one...
