So we're comparing the target for PS4's online features, either at launch or at some point in the future, with WiiU features right now, ignoring that there may be improvements in the future? Sounds fair
Social: Gotta hand it to PS4, I think the sharing thing will be more popular than Miiverse.
Downloadable Stuff: WiiU lets you transfer games from the Wii, gives you access to a huge catalogue of games already, PS4 might eventually be able to do this via gaikai (potentially making you pay for your games again). PS4 will have lower download times, but will chew through your bandwidth due to idiotic features like "The PlayStation 4 will feature technology that attempts to determine games a player is likely to purchase next, and then automatically downloads those titles in the background in an effort to save time." WiiU wins
Playing online: Both will be able to do it fine, I see no reason to call this anything other than a tie.
Price: No data as yet, either a tie or WiiU victory, as there is no better price than free.
Even with the unfair comparison, I don't really think there's much in it. We can come back and do another comparison 6 months after PS4 launch and see how it's all going, when we have all the details of Sony's online, and both have an opportunity to introduce new features.
