I am going to ask you some very simple questions to see if you should even consider buying a next gen console. These will be short but will help you with your decision on buying or not buying a console.  First What is your budget? This will tremendously let you know which system you are going to buy since the Xbox One is $499  and the PS4 is $399.  That is a hundred dollar difference which can decide your budget.  Next question do you want more gaming or entertainment? Yes there is a difference. Looking at more focus on gaming PS4 is looking like the way to go. Entertainment  way you are looking at the Xbox they really stepped up to entertain you with Television Integration and many other cool features like having the Kinect making a better playing environment.  Those questions are the main ones you need to look at when purchasing these next gen consoles!
