Since the release of the Xbone and about 20 hours logged with the Xbone and roughly 30 hours with the PS4, I can safely say that I feel even more enthusiasm for my PS4 purchase. Although I must be fair in saying that the PS4 seems to benefit from the fact its company has not pissed off their core audience with their corporate agenda. Coupling that with the long chronicled saga between "Gamer Rights vs. Microsoft" and that whole spiel over the course of the Xbone’s debut to its official release.
We all know taking it from the top, the Xbox One is an extra $100 over the PS4. Stacking with the fact that Xbox Live is an extra $10 over PlayStation Plus. I know there are online deals sometimes, but that goes for BOTH systems.
Also this may just be nitpicking, but how is it the console that is the bigger of the two, but at the same time less powerful, and runs hotter than the PS4? It even has a power brick while the PS4 does not.
Out of the box, the system doesn't even work. It's like buying a $500 useless box until it gets the update. So, without an internet connection, there is no way for your Xbox One to do anything! I think we can all agree that you should at the very least have something that functions on the simple plug and play basis.
You know those cool Xbox One features such as Skype, NFL extras, Netflix and Hulu Plus? They require the $60-a-year Xbox Live membership to access. The PS4 only has Online Multiplayer and the Bonuses from PlayStation Plus behind its paywall. Not features you've already purchased elsewhere such as aforementioned services.
Also why are there still ads littering up and clogging my dashboard with my paid subscription. With most other paid subscription services, PAYING disables the ads or greatly reduces them. It shouldn't encourage them.
-- I understand that they might want to cater to my "interests" by targeting ads towards me, but if anything that should be an optional feature. Several online services allow you to opt out of targeted ads, so why isn't this an option? While I do play a lot of racers, that doesn't mean I want an ad for Kauffman Tire. --
Early comparisons show that the PS4 currently has an edge in the graphics department. It's nothing major, but it's noticable.
Xbox Live banning people for swearing. "Xbox One owners using "excessive profanity" while playing games, uploading recordings of their gameplay using the share function, could see themselves banned from Xbox Live."
Customers complained that they were losing the ability to use Skype and other applications reliant on Xbox Live on their new consoles, with one user known as rbevanx complaining
"I get the message 'Choose something else to play' simply because I assume MS was not happy about a video I uploaded."

I found this kind of weird considering Microsoft's flagship titles such as Halo, Fable and Gears of War are rated M which means they have profanity in them. Does that mean those get you banned as well?

Check that "Authorized Personel" sign on the right. PS4 is more crisp with its Anti-Aliasing.
Conclusion. No doubt both of these consoles are going to be pretty stellar when its all said and done. But as it stands right now. I can say I have zero reason to own the Xbox One. Might change at some point in the future.
So Xbox One Owners, serious question time. What are you liking most about your system and can you inform me on other bright spots of your system?
