Well, both excell in certain characteristics, the five P's if you will. Price, Platform, Performance, Popularity and Perks.
Price
So the cheapest console out of the three is the Wii U at $349.99, second is the PS4 at about $400 and the most expensive console is the XBOX ONE at $499.99
Platform
Platform as in the console exclusive games for the console. XBOX has Halo, a first person shooter that also allows you to go behind the wheel. This may not have came out for the new console yet but it is anticipated to be coming. PS4 has many, but one in particular is the new Infamous, a great sand box world game that allows you to be your own Super Hero/Villain. Wii U has the Mario franchise which should be a HIT among the younger crowd. They brought the meaning to the word 'Platformer'.
I personally have a soft spot for games like Infamous, so PS4 is a winner for me.
Performance
Now Playstation tackled a controller redesign and decided to add a touch pad to it. The Wii U ditched the controller and replaced it with a tablet thing. XBOX decided to update it's user interface to add gestures and voice commands. Out of the three only XBOX stayed away from changing there controller too much and focused on updating the console itself with new features. XBOX had the guts to take the extra step.
Popularity
A lot of Playstation fans would say that the Playstation has always been more popular, but recently XBOX has the crown. Do you think XBOX will hold it's title?
Perks
Well XBOX has great perks for its PAYING members and Wii U has a great Nintendo club offering for great Nintendo merchandise. But, PS4 is going to offer new games for FREE as console esclusives. If you buy the PS4 you will have a bunch of games to play too!
So, for me I'm going with the PS4. But, if you want a console for the kids Wii U is the winner. Or if you want a great console for the whole family, XBOX ONE might be your man. I'm eager to see who will come out on top!
