I am an Xbox guy...but I would say buy what your friends have. All my friends have Xbox one's so I can get on and play with them. The PS4 has VERY slightly more power than the Xbox and there for the graphics are also slightly better. The Xbox controller is a million times nicer than the play stations but that's a personal feel thing. At this point the Xbox has all the good exclusives but 95% of games are muliti platform so that's a small issue. They are both good systems, and you will have fun playing games on either, so buy what your friends have so you can have fun with them.
