With the generation almost over, which console did you find yourself partial to/using more often, PS4 or XBone?

The Xbox One, not even close. And the Switch ( since the last 2 years ).
I bought a PS4 only for God of War ( what a game ). But the Xbox One remained my default console with the Switch ( where is the Wii U/ Switch option OP ? ).

PS4. I see the Xbox as an inferior pc without exclusives. During the PS2/Xbox era that was a bringing PC gaming home as I couldn't afford PC gaming at that time and graphics cards updated so quickly during the Geforce 2-5 era. I don't like Halo, Gears or Forza. So I don't really have a need for one. But during that one point in time? Wow. That and I got burned on the 360.
the xbox had fucking nothing of interest to me this gen. everything i wanted to play was also on PC and console exclusives were better on PS4, which I also own.
My Xbox gathered dust for 4 years. I got an xbox one x though, so played a bit more, although I think that's more to do with a person I became friends with having Xbox because he's now got a PS4 and we play on that now. So my x is now gathering dust, but it's also a 4K player so it's all good.
I don't see this situation changing next gen. In fact, Xbox might not even get a purchase from me. Which would be weird for me as I buy both ps and Xbox every gen.

I've barely used my Xbone this gen, it's a real shame after the 360 being perhaps my favourite system if all time. Being on Gamepass for three months for $1 has me using it a bit more though.
Hopeful for Microsoft's future since they seem to be trying to build up their first party offerings, hope they kill it next gen.
Have used my PS4 so much more, it's an excellent system, I much prefer it's UI and Sony first party has been real strong.

Neither.
I brought a PS4 on the back of the reveal but by October 2016 I'd realised Sony weren't going to deliver on the vision presented there so I moved full time to PC and haven't looked back since.

PS4 by an absolute mile. All my friends are on it and I just like the ecosystem more. Plus the output of exclusives this gen has been right up my street.
The X is a great 4k blu ray player though and as my streaming device for MLB and NFL

I bought an Xbox One for Cuphead, Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive, and I enjoyed all three of those games immensely. I also happened to get into the Forza Horizon series; I loved 3, but 4 is easily one of my favorite games of this console generation. After I purchased an Xbox One X, I found myself playing PC games far less often, as I was able to finally play most games with very little in the way of compromises on my TV. (I hated the PC gaming experience on my TV, as Windows can be really quirky in some respects for living room use.) Also, I have to say that Back Compat was a nice surprise, as was Game Pass.
PS4 by miles, gave my XB1 to my brother after I played Rise of The Tomb Raider and had no reason to take it back. Only played FIFA with him on it since.
Original consoles was not really a competition because I'm just not a fan of the current XBox ecosystem/interface, but I like the X hardware.
Still play mostly on my PS4 though.
Complete reversal of last gen where I'd bend over backwards to be on my 360, at least for the first half of the gen... Bring back the blades!

XB1 and then an X. I did buy a Pro for God of War which was fantastic. Next game I bought for PS4 was Spider-Man which to me was one of the most overrated games of the generation. After that I rid myself of the Pro. I figure at this point any worthwhile PS games I can just play on the PS5 in a few years. Until Sony gets a controller as good as what Xbox has Xbox will always be my go to console. Plus that is where all my friends are at anyways.
Probably about the same. Game Pass has given The One absolutely tremendous value and this year in particular, the quality of new releases for the service has been outstanding. On the other hand, Sony is probably my favorite publisher this gen with a slew of amazing single-player software plus the PS4 has gotten more Japanese games and I've played about a dozen PSVR games.
Don't have an Xbox, so PS4. On the other hand, PC it is 95% of the time. I don't know when I last turned on my PS4. Could be one or two months ago.
My PS4 easily. The variety of games and all the JRPGs made it my main console for the generation. I cant see any of this changing next gen despite the somewhat overhyped studio acquisitions MS have made IMO. I actually had an XB1 to start out the gen but I sold it pretty fast too because it just didn't receive much of anything.
Switch has climbed up recently though because of portability + JRPGs. I am comfortable going PS5+Switch going forward.

I think my numbers would work out as pretty much neck-and-neck. Although I would say that I played more of a variety of games on the PS4, whereas on the Xbox I went through a lengthy spell where Forza Horizon 3 was basically permanently in the slot. Conversely, though, I think I've played more Games With Gold than I have PS+ games.
PS4. This is the first generation I've not owned an Xbox due to me not wanting to pay for 2 online subscriptions, room under the TV and no compelling reason to buy an Xbox re: games.
I've got a really powerful PC (mainly for VR) but game on the PS4 most of the time due to convenience - sat on a sofa some 15 feet from the 65" TV, the PS4 is powerful enough and simply has the best games for me. I love the Sony exclusives in general.

PlayStation 4 as it's the only console I've owned this generation. However, I am so compelled by the Xbox's backwards compatibility program and X Enhanced games. The only thing keeping me to the PS4 is the exclusives.
At first PS4 but because of XBX and better Microsoft's dedication to improve both new and classic games, Xbox now.
I'll probably sell my Pro soon, but XBX probably never because thanks to BC it has some of my all-time favourite like Ninja Gaiden Black and Panzer Dragoon Orta, both enhanced.

Xbox by a mile, the Sony exclusives I did buy are usually done within a week while xbox had more of what I love which is racing games and Halo MCC/Gears and SoT.
Xbox was also better value (gamepass esp), better customer service and not as noisy.
Sold my Pro but still have my og PS4 for Dreams.

Bought XB1 and PS4 at launch. Now have PS4Pro and XB1X.
I have by far used the Xbox more. Hardly used the PS4 enough to have bothered with the Pro.
The exclusives I like more - especially Forza - have been on Xbox. But it's more the controller, ecosystem, XBL etc that has kept me mostly on Xbox. I'd have bought a console just to play Forza games, and as a long time Gran Turismo fan that series hasn't gone in the direction I'd have liked.
Unless things change radically I doubt I'll buy a PS5. I understand I am way in the minority here.

Xbox One X for the Multiplatform games that were enhanced.
PS4 Pro for those that were only enhanced on PS4 (Little Nightmares, Dragons Dogma etc).
And also for exclusives. Played almost all of Sony's big exclusives and pretty much platinum'd them all.
In saying that, I'm glad I own both but will be just sticking to PS5 next time around.
