Wait at least till this holiday season and pick up a deal. PS4 doesn't have any compelling software for me personally, so it's pointless for me to pick it up for its full price tag. And Xbox is a bit overpriced, but the titanfall bundle offers a better deal. I will probably get a PS4 this or next holiday, with the bundle and likely holiday price drop.
Besides, sales are not going to make any difference at all, both of these consoles will be supported equally by third parties, so just judge it by first parties.
Buying a mid-range PC is still a better option imo, they have some sweet offers on release of games at some online retailers, and the games are about 30% cheaper and in most cases superior versions, of course can't really compare to a console, but that can be arranged with a proper set up.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
