Get the X1 for multiple reasons. 1. All your characters will transfer 2. Backwards compatibility 3. You're having a kid so the ability to hook up your television up to it will be pretty useful (someone tell me is ps4 can do the tv thing because I have no idea hahaha) 4. (Personal preference) X1 controller feels better. Ps4 controller feels a bit flimsy Not being biased both the X1 and Ps4 are amazing consoles each with their own perks. I'm actually saving up money to buy a Ps4. Any suggestions on what model of ps4 and games for it?
