As someone who owns both. They are basically the same thing. That being said, I haven't turned on my ps4 in months. My main two reasons for this are simple. First, 90% of my friends play xbox (also, I had an Xbox 360 as well). Second, I like the xbox ui way...way better. I can't stand the ps4 ui. When it comes down to it ps4 fanboys and xbox fanboys can say whatever they want, but there isn't a really noticeable difference in graphics. In fact it would be very hard to notice unless you looked closely side by side. Other than that the only difference is exclusive games. The other features (such as Netflix and various apps) are exactly the same.
