I plan on getting my household a PS4 for Christmas. The only thing that intrigues me about the XB1 is Forza, otherwise, I think the PS4 is the better system and one to go with. The best deal right now is the bundle deals on Amazon that come with a game(s) for ~$350. It's already been leaked the XB1 will be sold for $300 on Black Friday so I'm holding off until then to see if the PS4 matches that deal.
Here are the current bundles on Amazon:
