When hypes have died down a bit and enough comparisons between two consoles has been made, and there's enough reason to believe that both consoles are stable enough to enjoy the game without worrying about hard-drive or network shutting down due to an internal structural fault, then I will start making decision on which console out of two to buy.
However, it is very likely that I will lean toward PS4 based on the current presentations I've seen from both consoles.
I have little desire to own a console that can perform different things such as TV/Streaming Video etc. I have Galaxy 10.1 tablet that I use for watching shows and videos wherever I want and rest of the entertainment stuff is done on my computer. Furthermore, on watching TV, I stopped watching any television shows 6 years ago because most of them are just uninteresting. I admit that my financial capability is probably better than a lot of people and I do own several computers that I use for different purposes.
I have a bad case of being distracted very easily and the last thing I am interested is being able to do everything on just one thing. I have zero games installed on my computer because of that destructive tendency of mine. Because of that, my personal expectation from both consoles were something that emphasizes mostly on the gaming stuff and so far the Sony's presentation was more in-line with my expectation.
Also, I have little intention to be forced to pay extra for things like the Kinect when I have zero interest on using those kind of features. I'm bit dinosaur on this but my webcams are all collecting dust in my shelf and I don't even carry a camera nor use a camera feature on my iPhone at all. Plus the last thing I want is to use voice feature nor motion feature to enhance my gaming experience. I play games silently and I am perfectly happy with just being able to control everything with hands exclusively. Therefore that extra $100 just doesn't warrant enough justification for me.
On the exclusive game-wise, both have some good games that I am interested in and I do admit that I play the hell out of Halo 4 myself. But does that justify an extra hundred dollars and the confusing and restrictive software ownership policy? I'm not so sure.
