Also, the specs are pretty much tied for each other. Not sure how you'd "multitask" while playing a video game though.

At this point the specs are near identical. Which then makes this a choice based on policies and franchises. I love Halo to death, always have. But I'm not willing to pay $100 more to get the system it's exclusive to. I'll gladly take my Final Fantasy (which I know will be cross platform) and Metal Gear over here in PS4 land where I save $100 right off the bat.

Then we get to policies. Yes, Microsoft has back pedaled to where we are now making the two options even more similar. But let's be honest here. The technology that allows Microsoft to lock out used games will still be present in the final release of the XBOne. It's true that developers have the ability to lock their games as well but MS literally incorporated this into the system itself. This far into the process there's nothing they can do to remove it from the system. It'll just be dormant until they decide to sneak it into an update a year from now after they've taken people's money. Same thing can be said with the proposed way the Kinnect would monitor users while playing games.
