I am seriously contemplating buying a gaming console for the first time in quite a while.
My main attractions would be Madden, NBA, GTA V, and possibly some other FPS like Call of Duty. Eventually FIFA or NHL (if they can fix NHL).

Although I won't likely play online for a while until I'm back in the swing of things, my main question is whether the extra $50 for the PS4 is worth it?
Should I wait for something similar like the free year of xbox live?

If you were getting your feet wet for the first time in over a decade, what would you do? I am only talking about gaming, I have a Fire TV that is rigged with Kodi.
If Madden was on PC, I'd just build a new PC.
 
Determine which games you want to play and go with the system that has them. I have an Xbox One and love it, others gush over the PS4. Personal preference is the best way to go. Also, why not go to Best Buy and try them both out?

Yar, I'd agree with ManofGod. Especially if you're mostly getting one for Madden and other 3rd party, not necessarily system exclusives, I'd suggest going to your local Best Buy and trying each system out. It might come down to controller preference for you.

You're probably going to see a lot of guys arguing in this thread about which console is best, but in reality there's a strong case for either console - so you can't really lose which one you end up purchasing.

As for myself, I opted for a PS4. Mostly because of how mishandled the initial launch was of the Xbone (I bought into the 'MS hate train' - even if in hindsight it was rather unwarranted). With that said, I'm enjoying the PS4 - Destiny was a big disappointment but, having never played the Last of Us before, that game was stellar for myself and really sold me on console gaming.
 
If you're going to play with friends, get the console that they all have. If not, it's a toss up. I personally think that Sony historically has the better exclusive franchises, but that might be changing this generation. If your a stickler for graphics, the PS4 will technically give you better visuals in multiplatform stuff.
 
Agree with what others said. I will add that PS4's "Share play" has been great so far. I'm not really a sports game kind of guy and share play is a perfect option for me With share play I can still play with my buddies online, I don’t need the game but they do and all they have to do is invite me. It only cost a PSN subscription.

What Share play does is pretty much streams the game (like Netflix/Hulu) from their PS4. You get a whole hour to play which can be renewed as long as they are there to accept it. Only one of you needs to own the game.
 
I get all the consoles, so its easy for me. This is how I would tackle the situation if I was only choosing one console.

1. Exclusives, which console has the ones you're most interested in. Makes no since to get a PS4 if Halo and Sunset Overdrive is what you want to play.

2. Friends - If you plan on doing multiplayer get the system majority of the people you play with are on. If most of your friends are on PSN, then the PS4 is probably the better choice.

3. Controller - this is just me, but I like the feel of the xbox one controller over the PS4.

As someone who loved the dreamcast and played the shit out of it. The original xbox was in sense the spiritual successor to the dreamcast. I got an xbox on launch, have been heavily invested in the xbox brand since. I have a PS4 and Xbox One, I've played a few of the same games on them. I didn't find they difference in resolution to be all that noticeable.
 
If you don't buy a PS4 you are stupid 'P Ok lets say you get both Xone and Ps4 you are paying a good 100.00 just to have online service the only bonus for X-one is nothing really Halo 5 comes out a year from now and nobody except 364 studios know if it's good or not.
 
I'm officially requesting that "What console should I buy" threads be immediately classified as bait threads.

Drugs. :p

As for the topic at hand, I have a PS4 for the exclusives and sports games. While, I play everything else on PC (mostly). Though, I'm sure at some point, I'll end up buying a Xbone.

Definitely try them both out, if you can though.
