As someone who has had an Xbox 360 since launch and used it as my preferred gaming console, I have this to say (rant incoming): To hell with the Xbox 1984. I definitely don't want a console that STOPS FREAKING WORKING completely just because this stupid thing can't get a thumbs up from micro$oft'$ servers, this works out well for our deployed troops and people in areas with unstable DSL (like EKY, for instance), they spend 500 dollars on the stupid thing, internet goes out, and then boom, 24 hours later, you have a 500 dollar useless piece of machinery. Also, as a gamer, I don't want the stupid ass kinect, I hate that stupid thing and I would rather not have my xbox get turned off by some troll yelling "xbox off" at my TV (you can't disconnect the worthless thing, just change what it responds too) but still, I have no use for a monitoring device on my TV, no thanks. No backwards compatibility? Essentially no ownership of your game? (You buy a license, discs are strictly for installation now). I'm still so pissed about xbox's blatant anti-consumer policies with this thing. So i'm going to do the only thing I can do as a consumer, not buy one. I guess i'll be switching sides, PS4 here I come! Also, FWIW, PS4's internal machinery is slightly better the Xbone's, for 100 less.

So in short:

360 > PS3
PS4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Xbox 1984


All of this, is of course, IMHO.
