I own myself even an Xbox 360 and a PS3. From the quality I would recommend this between PS3 (FAT) and the Xbox 360 lane. Nice look but no hard drives and USB LED more connections for large wide sticks unsuitable. The console is in my opinion even louder as the PS3. Especially if you does not have enough space to the rear. Ventilation takes place exclusively via the rear side of the console. So much for the optics. Well I like the Dashboard. Much better than on the Xbox 360 and also better and faster as on the PS3. Next Gen ever exist in this regard. The controller is also an improvement for the PS3 DS3. Is slightly larger and has with the speaker and touchpad really great new features. Disadvantage is not switched off at the moment or DIMM bare light on the controller and the increased energy consumption. In 8-10 hours is closing with Lustig and it needs to be charged.
But now to the games. Actually belongs more to Dashboard but well I like that I can now play any game and that this installs itself while gambling on the hard disk. With the Xbox 360 you had to wait all the time, until it was on the hard disk and could not do anything else. Assassin's Creed 4 looks at the PS4 considerably fancier than on the PS3. Higher resolution, sharper textures and stable framerate. These are all the advantages of the PS4 version. For direct in-house developments, Second Son, a shovel is upped again. Really great. But you should not delude yourself also. The matched power is roughly equivalent to a middle-class PC. But the whole comfortably on the couch at the big telly, class Controller and one or the other exclusive Game, of course, are something else and raise the PS4 of a PC also from. So I no longer have to consider whether I would rather buy a title on the PC or on the console and zocke at the moment. That's enough for me already as an argument for the PS4. Who really wants to play next title as watchdogs on Xbox360 or PS3? ;-)
Strong buy recommendation for gamers. Multimedia fans rather the Xbox One, waiting for FW updates or equal to 50 euros an extra Media Player. Is anyway the better solution. See XBMC on Raspberry Pi
