I know its a joke thread but if "value" is being discussed as the only metric, only morons should buy either console right now.

Wait for at least 5 good games that you can't play on a last gen console or a busted up PC...

Spoken like a true "gamer type". The next gen is about tv and sports.
That's the whole problem here. WiiU is a hundred dollars cheaper and can do all of that.

Next gen is about dumbing down the console branding and message to the TV and sports crowd in order to expand the market.

Hardcore gamers however are very isnecure bunch and feel that they are not catered to if they are not the center of attention when it comes to branding...

I'm a hardcore netflix user, and I get upset when companies don't treat me as the center of the world when they try to throw gaming at me. I already have a roku/chromecast. If I wanted games, I'd buy a ps4.

Why is that? Is it because Xbox 1 has no games? Or because you don't want to spend 100 bucks more? Where I live the price difference is only $50 bucks and Kinect + HDMI sound like they may be worth it to me. Not to mention the current and upcoming game lineup for both consoles...

Also a lot of people don't want 30 things in their living room each doing one thing.

For me an ideal livingroom setup when I do buy a next gen console will be Xbox 1 + XBMC streaming/gaming PC plugged in to HDMI in and to eliminate cable TV entirely. This will rape pretty much any cable TV + roku + PS4/X1 + PC setup out there and remove HDMI port switching, different interfaces, taking up extra space...etc.
