Doesn't matter to me in the slightest. I was a 360 owner this current gen (coming off of the PS2) but I will leave Microsoft come end of year.

I don't want or need the vast majority of features they are offering. I live in Bolivia - I don't care about the NFL, can't watch Netflix or even stream Pandora. The PS4 has more features that I can use and want, is cheaper and doesn't come with bullshit DRM.

Where's the choice?

What are the features the PS4 has that are missing on the Xbox One? Genuine question.

Free games with PS+, working online in my country, and more.

In your country it really is an easy decision.

On top of all that, it's clearly the superior hardware for cheaper, without the surveillance device bundled.

They are in for a rude awakening.

I guess every smartphone and every tablet is a surveillance device too eh?

Mine isn't, I run an OSS system that lets me verify that the camera is indeed off. It also works disconnected without sabotaging the functionality and software that doesn't require a connection. The camera led is impossible to disable without hardware tampering, too. And I can even tape it and it will continue working.

The XBOX PRISM is a different creature altogether, and a very worrisome precedent precisely because we already have smartphones and tablets that could potentially follow that path.
