Xbox One Vs PS4

So of course everyone is talking about the new generation of consoles. The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 have both been officially revealed at the E3 event. There's some happy fans but some not so happy fans. 

Obviously the PlayStation 4 is cheaper than the new Xbox as the PS4 costs £349 and the Xbox One costs £429. However the Xbox One is based around the idea of a all-in-one entertainment system and the PS4 has focused more on the gaming. Here are some of the features of both of the new-generation consoles and the Wii U.

Looking at these stats this shows that Xbox and the PS4 are completely the same. But the PS4 is cheaper.They both have a lack of backwards compatibility which everyone is annoyed at. The Xbox charges extra money for pre-owned games, which is absolutely ridiculous. PS3 sold more consoles than the Xbox 360, will they do it again?
