Why is that? A new generation is a new generation. Nothing is for certain about how either company will operate 5-6 years from now. Sony has shut down studios and Microsoft has opened studios.

I wouldn't want to spend 4 to 5 hundred dollars now on hopes and dreams for 5-6 years from now. Pick which line up that appeals to you the most and buy that console. You can always pick up the other one when you want.

Because if you are having trouble deciding on which to get, it's likely that money is something of an object for you and so maybe you can't just pick up the other whenever you want. In which case you might want to consider games announced for further down the road since it will probably be a longer term investment for you.

Or better yet, wait. Being an early adopter is a pretty bad deal since you are paying the most you will ever have to pay for a system at the point when its library is the weakest it will ever be. Plus you run a greater risk of winding up with a console of shoddy build quality. Unless there is a launch game you are just dying to play or you have a desperate need to be part of a console launch, you can't go wrong with waiting.
