I am curious to know though as to if you did end up comparing the Xbox One with a PS4 before buying it and if yes what factors influenced your decision ?

PS I want to upgrade too from my old Xbox 360

Does it play the games you want?

Hardware specs between consoles are really pointless things to compare. It's like trying to compare Windows or Linux for your desktop when you know you absolutely must run Visual Studio.

Yes. The reason is that I had a Playstation 3. When I bought it (~2008 or 2009), Sony promised a lot of mediacenter features. In the end they were only delivered on my PS3 (in The Netherlands) very late.

XBox 360, on the other hand, had many new features since its introduction.

So, I trust Microsoft more than Sony when it comes to promises ;).
