If it's a PS4 thread, then why can we discuss the XBox One??? Discussing the benefits, non-benefits of the PS4 and the PC is the same as doing it for the PS4 vs the XBox One.

Because we already have 40 threads that tell us how much better a PC is than a console, which the advantages are obvious and in everyone of those threads they are discussing consoles, not a PC. It's like trying to discuss the benefits of having a 1 ton diesel truck when we are all looking at family sedans. I don't remember ever seeing a PC thread on any forum that someone came in and said a playstation or xbox would be better...

Not a fair comparison at all. the PS and the XBox, AND the PC are gaming platforms, which is what is being compared.
Then you need to read atleast one other forum than this, because EVERY PC gaming thread I have ever read ALWAYS had someone chiming in about how consoles are better. You need to get out more dude.

Feel free to pick this apart or take it as you want but I look at it this way:
1. DRM- (digital rights management)
Sony- Stated they have no control over 3rd party developers = EA/Activision etc. may require DRM anyway.
Microsoft- They have DRM. They also have the ability for you to play all of your games at someone else's house without having them there. They also have the ability of up to 10 "family members" to play your games wherever they want, on their own profile without the game physically being there. If you look at it that way, they need to have DRM or everyone would just be pirating games. They also still allow you to sell used games. I could care less, I don't buy used games and I don't sell my games.
2. Hardware-
Sony- Hardware looks better. Will games take advantage of that? Will I notice much?
Microsoft- Requires Kinect, 100 dollars over the price of a base sony. I don't mind the Kinect sensor, there are plenty of privacy settings and It'll help me convince the fiancé.
3. Online-
Sony- Requires PS+ $60 a year now, hopefully they don't get hacked again and shut down for 3 months.
Microsoft- Xlive is $60 a year too, but cards show up here and there for 30-40 year subscriptions and now has group Skype chat for free, I guess that alone is a $60 deal, yay.
4. Multi-use-
Sony- Someone may know more, but I know you can stream videos from the pc and play music, something similar to windows media center but not.
Microsoft- Windows media center xtender and an hdmi in input. Anybody looking at htpc's and getting rid of cable should know this is where it's at. There is more and more to this, but I think xbox is ahead in this category.
5. Controller-
Sony- Personal preference, I cant stand them.
Microsoft- Comfier than ****.

lol show me one thread. Maybe some day when you can build your own console and it costs over $1,000 by the time your done, then they may be more comparable. But you are talking two different types of people who play each.
