First if you have friends that actively play Destiny..well 50/50 crap. Second try each controller at a game store or retailer to see which you would like Third which one has exclusive games you want in the future? My story on this issue: I bought a PS4 day one from amazon and there was no games I want after a while so I sold it for an Xbox One. Enjoyed it for exclusives and the occasional game with a friend online. Slowly I got bored and Destiny was releasing so I rebought a PS4 with Destiny. Now after about 6-9 months having both and the exclusives coming for both I cannot just have one or the other. The question about graphics both can get to 1080p but only ports for both can get to 1080p 60fps. If your a graphics whore you'd have a gaming PC already anyways. But with all that said games on PS4 will look a decent bit better. [b]Destiny is 1080p 30fps on both Ps4 and Xbox One if you don't know[/b] Yes only Destiny characters transferred from x360 to x1 ps3 to ps4. Backwards compatibility is cool but don't expect most games you'd want to play for a year or 2 if ever. PSN vs Xbox Live. I've used both for years and pay for PS+ since I play Destiny on PS4. Yes PSN has been hacked more recently but other than that they are both about the same for online play now. Even when PSN was "down" last few times I was already playing Destiny and saw 0 interruptions to kick me off even when Friends and PlayStation Store was broke in the console.
