Hardware
I don't really care if its bigger or has a power brick since my console sits on the shelf. If I moved it a lot, then it would be an issue.

Controller
Kinect is a controller and that gives the X1 an edge.

Games
PS4 lacks Halo, so it does not have the edge.

Graphics Performence
PS4 certainly has the edge. I hope its used for more than higher resolutions.

Media Capabilities & Multi-tasking
X1 seems to have the edge at the moment. I felt it did last gen as well.

Internet capabilities
PSN is faster and more reliable? Hmmm... if you say so.

Pricing
PS4 has the edge.

Just a few quick notes...

Yes halo is under the Xbox umbrella, but the team (Bungie) who designed it is not producing Halo anymore. They are producing Destiny, which will be available in both consoles, and deemed to be the next Halo.

Yes, Xbox has Kinect but is barely used (almost certainly 99% of the games don't / won't use it) and hardcore gamers don't seem to care for it. Apart from the privacy concerns, all those "next-gen" Xbox features are actually "voice-controlled" not Kinect. Plus PS4 has already "motion" controlls in the regular controller while PSeye is up for sale if you choose to, still at a lower total cost

I am not saying PSN is better than XBL overall, all I am saying, the PSN performance on PS4 is much better than XBL on XB1 for now. This is specific to "now with next-gen consoles".

Halo 4 wasn't a bungie game and it was great. Destiny doesn't change Halo 5 being a potentially great game either.

Your arguments against Kinect aren't valid.
1) Most games probably won't use PS4's motion features either. But since Kinect comes with the console, there is more potential for developers to use it.
2) You feel Kinect isn't liked by hardcore gamers, but you didn't mention hardcore gamers while boasting about the PS4's motion features.
3) Voice control is part of the Kinect. Kinect encourages developers to use voice control features.
4) PSeye not being bundled means developers are less likely to use it.
5) Motion gaming on PS4 may not neccessarily be cheaper, especially if multiple people want to play. I believe the new Kinect tracks 4 people at once.
