It is a great gaming machine. Just not my first choice.
EDIT
For the record, the PS4 controller batterylife is not very good. Especially compared to the PS3 controllers that lasted friggin forever.

1. I don't think the dashboard is all that bad. The tiles & the look is what MS has been going to in all their products so maybe I'm just used to them.
2. This is a non issue. You aren't buying these systems JUST to use 3rd party services. You buy these systems to get the full use out of all the features. One of those features is online gaming which requires a PS+ or Gold acct. So in order to use one of the most basic functions of the system, you have already met the requirement for all remaining apps without an extra expense. This is just a talking point people like to complain about like it affects the way they use their systems - it doesn't.
3. I was with you. I didn't really care for the Kinect & it was likely going to be one of the reasons I went PS first this round. But, after seeing the Kinect in action, it's pretty sweet. I can understand not wanting it and it being the determining factor to prevent you (or anyone else) from buying a XBO though.
