PS4 is the safer bet. Slightly better graphics (
technically 50% more power, which isn't really as much a difference as one would think) but the end result is more multiplat games are 1080p with higher frame rates on PS4 than XBox One. Personally the only reason I'm even entertaining the idea of an Xbox One at this point is I'm interested in Halo 5 and the Master Chief Collection but thats a lot of money for a handful of games.

Chances are games like GTA5 remastered is going to look and play better on PS4 than XBO.
Sony's in house studios have also done a much better job than Microsoft on exclusives. Most notable game as of late being The Last of Us (Remastered). Other games like Uncharted 4 and The Order: 1886 also figure to be pretty good not to mention that with a PS4 you'd get to play The Last of Us 2. On top of that Sony as a whole seems to support their first party studios a lot more than Microsoft.
Many of my favorite games last gen were in fact Sony Exclusives (Heavy Rain, Uncharted 1-3, Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, Infamous 1-2, God of War 3, MLB the Show) where as the only exclusives I owned for my 360 were...well Halo games and the original Dead Rising.
(Of course though I'm not a huge fan there's little doubt that no one in the industry is better than Nintendo at first party exclusives.)
There's also rumblings inside the
Microsoft Board Room that the gaming division of Microsoft isn't profitable enough so I'd guess there's a ~10% risk that the XBO could get Dreamscast'd, though the more likely result is someone like Warner Brothers would buy the gaming division of Microsoft in that scenario.
Of course why choose between PS4 and XBox One when you can get a bad ass PC? Granted you wouldn't be able to play Madden but that might change as Fifa and NBA 2K15 will feature the PS4/XBO engines on their PC counterparts.
