I actually play on both XB1 and PS4. In all honesty, the look of the game is the same BUT the sound you get when using the PS Gold wireless headset on PS4 is simply amazing compared to XB1. It took me a while to get used to the controller on PS4 but now is not much of an issue. The biggest problem on PS4 is there is NO "Quick" way to find and join a group for a Raid or Nightfall. It has taken me a while to build a friends list as compared to XB1. Good luck and Congrats and the new addition to your family.
