as the only person I know with both, I'll ask what your opinion of the positive and negatives of both systems are.
ps4
positives-
its a gaming console first and foremost
the controller feels good in your hands. the most ergonomic controller sony has ever produced. face buttons feel nice to the touch as well
touchpad feels nice and doubles as a button since its clickable. i love the implementation of it in infamous ss and killzone sf.
the ui is clean and easy to navigate. there maybe a lot more sub menu's than the xbox1, but i actually like that feature.
i like how you can play while the updates are done in the background
the machine is way faster and gets things done in a snap. it takes a second to go from one menu to the other. you can exit out of a game in a second or transfer from menu to menu in a second
theres a section where you can see all the recent activities of your friends. handy feature incase you wanted to see what was up with them and or have a trophy hunting competition
games look prettier on the ps4 since its more powerful
infamous ss, resogun and ac4 have been the most fun games ive played on the new gen systems.
playstation plus is ACTUALLY WORTH IT. it may not appeal to us collectors because the games dont really belong to us but consider it free rental on games. i know it saved me on a couple of games that i would have bought and not have fun with (hotline miami and payday 2. hotline miami is not a bad game...its just not my type of game...and payday 2 is a horrible co op game)
the only thing behind the paywall is online mp. i know that paying for online mp sucks but at least other online functionality is still free like watching netflix
hardly any disconnections from online mp games
NEGATIVES-
the analog stick on the controller is horrible. the nub size is fine, but the concave sucks. the material of the analog nub feels like rubber that deteriorates to the touch and if you get sweaty hands, then the analog feels soo much worse
psn store still sucks. its not laggy but the way they implement psn+ within the store is wack. they give you big pictures and it takes a little exploring to see all the functionality of the store. i dont like pictures, i want to see all the games in smaller boxes
voice chat still sucks on ps4. the earbuds are just unacceptable. and no one talks on the ps4
i like the menu layout for ps3 better because i actually have a list of my dl. i cant find that option for ps4
when you first get on the console, you have to sign in on psn and then sign out if you want to do offline gaming. there isnt an option to go offline from when you start the console. i liked this option on the ps3
all the cool social features that were announced pre launched are still missing like jumping in to your friends game to help them out. still no direct upload to youtube. i think this company lacks the vision like ms when it comes to bells and whistles
not a lot of apps...twitch tv is better on the xbox1, i think xbox 1 has an mlg tv app. still no hbo go on the ps4
ps4 is quiet but it sounds like the ps3 when my room gets hot. xbox1 is actually more quiet, suprisingly lol
a lot of the exclusive launch games were mediocre. killzone sf was terribly slow paced for an fps. it didnt get exciting until the last 1 or 2 stages and even that was short lived and not as action packed as i would want it. the only thing that was fun was resogun. its more of a multi plat console/indie at the moment.
cod ghosts has a lot of frame rate drops....its annoying and it seems to be a bigger problem on ps4 than xb1.
where is my dl list? oh yea its on the psn store...ugh
