It doesn't mean anything, really, but if performance of your system makes all the difference to you than PS4 is the system you want. the PS4 is 100$ cheaper and the Xbox One is sort of forcing its kinect down your throat, but those are reall my only qualms with it. Otherwise pick whichever you prefer, maybe for its exclusives, its aesthetics, its OS, or because all your friends are going to get it and you don't want to get left in the dark on a console that none of your friends have. Eh, I disagree to be honest. The PS4 might be $100 cheaper, but you get the kinect, better and cheaper online capabilities, a lot more interactive features, and better exclusives. The PS4 is too conservative, they are just giving people what they're used to and not what they need. well, to be fair, what constitutes a better exclusive is completely subjective, it varies from person to person. if you mean halo, then yeah, it is an enviable IP, but some people don't consider one game to be worth the price of a console, and not to mention, your getting the kinect regardless of whether you wanted it or not. i don't know how you can know that the xbox one will have better online capabilites, the PS4 is just as strong in this regard, despite the hiccups they have had in the past with the PS3. PSN's network took a little while to hit its stride, but its always been free, and the online gaming is just as good if not better than Xbox Lives. Not to mention if you've had a Gold membership since 2006 when the console dropped, you've spent close to 500$ up till now whereas PS3 users havn't spent a dime, PS Plus isn't required but gives us features like free games. if you have a PS Vita, you can stream games from your PS4 right into your hands. I'm not bashing the Xbox or your opinion, honestly i have a lot of respect for the engineers at sony and microsoft, but back up some claims with fact rather than sound like a run of the mill MS fanboy.
