A $60 AAA game digital or not. Kinect is and does much more then a camera. PS + isn't even part of this discussion. Your preferences are up to you, but the X1 does have considerably more bang for buck in Canada over PS4. 

No big deal. It is a small market and doesn't impact your bragging rights, right?

This isn't about my bragging rights, I don't like the X1, but in no ways am I a fanboy. I've owned the 360 as well as the original. To play Titanfall you need Xbox Live, right? So that's $60 on top of that. If you add PS+ to the PS4 (and it's fair since Xbox Live had to be added to the X1) that's an extra $50. So right now it's-

X1- $560 for Titanfall, Kinect, and Live and console

PS4- $500 for PS+, included PS+ games, and (more powerful) console

But you'll probably point out that PS4 still isn't a good value cause no Kinect (even though it's more powerful and that most people don't even want Kinect). In that case, we'll add the PS Eye as well. Now it's-

X1- $560 for Titanfall, Kinect, Live, and console

PS4- $550 for PS+, included PS+ games, and (more powerful) console

You may cry foul and say the much more advanced Kinect is worth more than the eye, to which I would counter with the more powerful base console makes that value a wash. Now, if you really like Kinect and/or Titanfall, the better value is X1. If not, it's PS4.

Ok easy with the "power". Slightly more powerful in that it has more 1080p/60 fps. However if you see Ryse you would know that X1 is no slouch in the graphics department. That is completely subjective in this. Same goes for PS+ as that is a feature seperate from the console itself, it has no part in this discussion.

I am talking bang for buck. X1 gives you a game and the kinect hardware, for all that it does. Whether that is up someones alley is another story.
