The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general
The PS4 delivers slightly better installation times
Graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games
The Xbox One's dashboard is still confusing at times and the PS4 generally delivers slightly better graphics and performance on multiplatform games so far. Selection of must-have titles is still weak compared to that of previous generation consoles
Menu system is an awkward mix of 360 and Windows 8
Space-hungry
Will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style'
Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets
