My answer to the "Which console should I get?" question is always this: will you be playing alone or with friends? If friends, what do they have/will they be getting?
If you'll be playing alone or in randomly matched multiplayer, I'd say go with a nice PC. Better graphics, mods, ect. (all the stuff I'm sure you've heard before).
If you'll be playing a lot with good friends, the question becomes "what are they getting?" If you have a group of friends who are all going PS4, then get a PS4. If they want the XBone, get an XBone. One of the big draws of console gaming is playing live with friends (locally or remotely), but the purpose is defeated if you've got different consoles. For all their minor differences, at the end of the day the two major consoles will play most of the same AAA games in the same way, so you'd experience little difference between the two, except for interface and controller differences (which you can adapt to very quickly).
IF I were looking to get into the next console generation--although I don't plan to, so take this with a grain of salt--I'd say wait it out. MS has been changing where they stand on a lot about the XBone recently, and there isn't much point in placing pre-orders yet (are special pre-order deals for consoles even a thing?). Wait until it's a few weeks after the two consoles have released and see what the public's receptions of both consoles has been.
(As it stands now I'd probably recommend the PS4 simply for not being part of MS's ongoing cluster[redacted]--although I don't really support Sony's platform of "buy from us because we aren't MS!"--but looking at Titanfall it alone would almost be enough to sway me to an XBone. Luckily for me, it's coming out on PC.)
