If it could be only one i'd say PS4.

It's early days yet but it looks like this generation belongs to Sony. If that trend continues, more developers will be motivated to put their products on both Xbox and playstation.

How long that will take is another question, ofc.

I know when gears of war comes out that's all I'll play but all of my friends are on psn..should I just get halo/gears of war on Xbox and stick with ps4 for the other games or just go straight Xbox..?yes I know ps4 is better but Xbox has the games I love..just no friends

I got my ps4 for games, and the xbone for halo 5. Most of my friends are on live, but I rarely played with them anyways from work schedules, school, families, wives, girlfriends etc... most of us have too much real life to lock down a console so we can maybe play together once a month. We just go grab brews instead when we can lol.

I like my Xbox One.

PC

The only correct answer.

There is no reason to buy a console nowadays. You have a handful of exclusive, but so what? You have indefinitely more on PC, due to it being an open platform. In addition, PC gamers laugh at these discussions if the Xbone or PS4 has better hardware. The hardware of both consoles is something like 5 or 6 years old already. They weren't even top notch when they were released. Games like WItcher 3 have extreme frame drops on consoles. Something like down to 22 fps. You can't really call that playing anymore, unless you like playing in slow motion all the time. So why use a console for anything at all? For the same price to just a little bit more you can get a gaming PC better than everything the consoles can offer you. And in addition to that you get the games cheaper. No matter if it's a new release or if you wait for deals. PC games are always cheaper. While you pay about 60 to 80 bucks for a new console game you get the same game on PC for about 40 to 50 bucks.

Also the upgrade discussion isn't even relevant. If you want you don't ever have to upgrade your PC. Build it once and it will always be able to play games with these graphics. If upgrades were that relevant how many console players make them out to be (I have to upgrade my PC every 4 months!) then console games wouldn't work at all. Of course you can upgrade every 4 months, if you always want to play the newest games with the highest setting and 60 - 120 fps. That's something consoles can't even dream about doing. Console games max settings just stay on the same level for the entire generation.

So well. Don't ask yourself if you should buy a XBone or a PS4, ask yourself why you're not considering a PC. The handful of console exclusives is barely worth buying a whole platform for that.

I have a gaming laptop..I fear it overheating that's why I don't use it

Let me tell ya' about da damn GLORY uh PC gamin'. Right On! Wid de blessin' uh GabeN ah' shall now attempt t'convert some peasant t'de masta' race. Right On! Look, if ya' wants' da damn best possible 'spuh'ience, backwards compatibility, moddin', and on top uh dat havin' content creashun tools all wrapped waaay down in one machine - Go wid PC. Right On! It's sexy. Right On! 1080p @ 60FPS? Dat's some standard, not an achievement. Even if ya' duzn't gotss' da damn bre'd fo' top end PC's, ya' kin still get some stronga' PC fo' de same bre'd as de PS4. And it gotss'ta do far mo'e dan play games and share at grainy 720p.

It's more about saving people from being ripped off.

Buys ps4, opens box, plugs in, plays.

For the average person, its about convenience. Not trying to figure out which plug in, or setting, or patch is needed to play for almost every game. Its simple to people who play on pc, they're used to it but consoleers aren't likely to be bothered with the extra fuss.

Buys PC, installs steam, downloads game, plays. What's the difference? Where were you the last 10 years? Heck, buy a Steambox if you want. Boots directly to Steam. There is no extra fuss you have to bother with.

And your console is save from overheating how exactly?
