like, all this music unlimited/no usb/etc stuff - is basically the only thing that the ps4 has over the xbox one that it operates in 1080 as opposed to 720? i read somewhere that xbone would graphically only run at 720p or i or whatever, so i was starting to lean towards the ps4 because if this gen lasts as long as the current, then i'll have to be happy with the graphics for that length of time.
if they're graphically indistinguishable, i think i might stick with an xbox

The big question is how much will it matter in the long run. Keep in mind there's every possibility developers will build both versions with the same deal in mind, effectively putting only the effort necessary for the inferior graphical version. Of course, the publishers were the ones pushing graphics above all, so maybe the Bone gets shunned in the longer run, or simply gets weaker (at least, graphically) ports.
But yes, the primary difference right now appears to be that one outputs in 1080p natively and the other appears to have problems with it.
Also, there have been complaints of stuttering and framerate issues when the PS4 does 1080p, so it may not be all it's cracked up to be.
And I'd appreciate it if people remember this in a week's time when I say something less than favourable about the Xbone or Microsoft and they are tempted to whine I'm jsut hatin' on the unit.
Of course, my PC will play at higher than 1080p resolution with solid framerate at or around 60 fps (which is all my dated monitor will support anyway) and I can even keep my 360 controllers for the time being, so I was never particularly in the PS4's corner either, but....
The differences are more and more looking to be nil.
