If motion control games are important to you at all, you probably wanna go XBone
If you want something that integrates your whole entertainment center, then get an XBone
If you want pure gaming performance, get a ps4
If you think you might spring for a vita, remote play works amazing, get a ps4
If you're going to pay for their online service, ps plus will give you a crap-ton of free games and mega discounts on others. Get a ps4
Everyone is different. My choice was ps4, but I think their first party developers are amazing, I already had a vita and ps plus, and I am far more ingrained in the Sony ecosystem even though I've owned a 360 longer than my ps3 and vita.

Just to be fair Xbox Live includes 2 free games per month as well. And a differentiating factor is that they games are still playable if you choose to cancel your Xbox Live subscription. Currently with Playstation plus if you cancel your subscription you lose access to the free games.
My take
Play both, decide which controller, interface, and exclusives you prefer.
Then from there move on to:
Is the Xbox worth an extra $100 to you?
Are you going to use it as a media center device, if so go with Xbox, if not go with PS4.
Personally I had a 360, now have a PS4 and think the Xbox needs a year to develop and/or a price drop before I can consider investing into it. I use an Apple TV for streaming and such and don't care too much about snap features.
