Currently, I'm on neither side. Neither console has shown me a reason why I need to buy it, much less on day one. Sure, they have more powerful hardware built in, but that's currently only being used to up the graphical fidelity of the games, which proved itself to be the least important thing to a game over the last generation. Not to mention it eliminated the possibility of backwards-compatibility, and improved backwards compatibility was my most-wanted featured out of next-gen consoles before I found out it was eliminated entirely.

The PS4 has a share button that'll be turned off for a lot of games, and will let your friends finish your games for you if you're lazy enough. The Xbox One has an improved Kinect that won't be used for most games and, at worst, will result in some interesting reactions when someone yells "Xbox Off" over Xbox Live during an intense multiplayer game.

I think I'll spend the next few years getting to know my 360 and PS3 better. Or maybe buy a retro console. Never had my own N64 as a kid.
