The debate of PS4 and XBONE is so one-sided that guys here are discussing PS3 and 360

(PS3 is better though)

Yeah.

Xbox One and PS4 is probably the most one-sided debate of PS vs Xbox. Maybe you could make the argument of PS5 dominating the Series X/S even more in terms of preferred platform, but we'll have to see.

Xbox may have sold far less than PS2 and had far less software, but it had less shovelware, better specs, better online, and titles like Halo 1 and 2, KOTOR 1 and 2, Morrowind, etc. I'm not even necessarily saying it's better than PS2 but it is a very solid debate. 

Unsurprisingly, I prefer PS4 over Xbox One.

Xbox One has a mid-gen upgrade that is better than PS4 Pro, has backwards compatibility, and better multimedia features. 

PS4 is better in almost every other conceivable way. It may have more shovelware, but there are simply more titles overall worth playing. PS4 had more timed exclusives, PlayStation exclusives, true exclusives, etc. than Xbox One ever did. Unsurprisingly, RPGs (namely JRPGs) are clearly better represented on PS4 than Xbox One. Xbox didn't get Persona RPGs until late 2022, hasn't gotten FFVII Remake, and there's not even an Xbox One version of FFXIV, one of the most populars MMOs and RPGS ever. It did get a Series version, but not until March 2024. 

Xbox was more concerned about multimedia and Kinect (at first) than making a great video game console. They also ended up caring more about subscriptions than must-play Microsoft games whether they were exclusive to Xbox One or also on Windows. 

PlayStation focused on hardware that played quality games. They effectively won the generation before it began.
