Which is better PS4 or Xbox One?

I want an Xbox One but some friends want me to get a PS4. Right now I can only get 1 of the 2. So I ask which is better?

I don't care about gameplay graphics, exclusives, internet speed, or the overall speed of the console. These are the main things I care about:

Online Gameplay (size of lobbies, is it free)

Bugs/Glitches (have either had problems in general or with updates or certain apps and stuff)

Price (if possible just for a base model)

Also any other things you might think is important.

I also don't want to be biased about wanting an xbox one. I already own a 360 and Iv'e never owned/ barely played a playstation. So as a completely new gamer, which would you suggest?

    price wise xbox one is cheaper except for xbox live. ps4 costs $400 but ps live is 50 a year xbox live is I think 60 a year. both obviously have defects take care of your console pretty much it should be fine but many gamers abuse them by running them too long and overheating them.

    at this point it's either you are going to play with your friends on the ps4 constantly or simply buy a xbox. in all honesty idk anyone who plays video games with their friends all the time. I am a pc gamer even my friends take breaks for the games we play and so do I so at one point your friends playing ps4 will stop. so really simply pick the one you like. there are only 3 things you should look at.

    1. price

    2. exclusives ( why even bother getting a console imo if not for exclusives these are a HUGE thing in console gaming )

    3. friends ( like I said they won't always be playing the ps4 so you really shouldn't base a judgement on that imo )

    Flip a coin if you don't care about the most important choices when choosing a console.

    Exclusives should be #1 but since you don't care then flip a coin.

    Graphics is important but you don't care so flip a coin.

    Download speed, that's beyond the consoles control. That's up to your internet service.

    Online isn't free. Xbl costs 60 a year. Psn costs 50 a year. So ps4 gets this one but that shouldn't matter since the fees are close.

    Lobby - that depends on the game. I did like home on psn before it was removed. It was a fun little place to play arcade games.
