Lets not beat around the bush here, my suggestion is basically neither, as for who spends the money and how much, it isnt up to me to make his moral choices, personally if someone offered to buy me a console i wouldnt accept unless i was already planning to buy them something as costly in the near future too.

so with that in mind:

OP, shame on you, dont waste other peoples money on consoles that arent worth the asking price.

Neither is something I can agree with.

You just seem to have been very vigourously pressing for a console that least suits his needs for someone that is advocating neither

That's not what I got from his comment. Since the OP is definitely going to buy one of the two, he is recommending buying the PS4 because in the near future the X1 will incur price drops that will ultimately make it cheaper than the PS4, thus giving him the most savings from buying both next gen consoles.

But evening ignoring the (incredibly) tenuous and unknowable assumptions involved with that, it makes no sense from a gaming perspective.  Where there is such a clear preference of games, why not you know, buy the console you'll most enjoy for the next several years - instead of delaying that gratification in the vague hope you might save ~$50 if you're super lucky half a decade from now?
