PS4 or Xbox1?

Not sure which to get. I love Halo and that's the only thing makes me want to get the Xbone. Also the NFL thing. It may let me watch games as long as there aren't any region restrictions. If there are I am screwed. I am torn since I have been a Playstation and Xbox guy the past two generations. My 360 now is going to last me at least until next year. When I make a decision on which console to purchase.

The TV integration just isn't a selling point to me. If it worked as a whole-house console I would probably be sold (for example, I can play a disk based game in the living room while my son plays a digital based game in his bedroom at the same time from the same console)

I already have a so-called smart TV. I can have twitter on the same screen as a football game or video game already. Why would I want to disconnect my existing equipment and reconnect it through a game console? Trying to watch the Panthers in the Super Bowl... wait, the Xbox has to update first. Gotta download, install and restart before I can catch the game. download starts, come back in 5 minutes... Damn, where's the controller so I can press X to accept T&C?

I think the TV integration is great. I built my house with HDMI, 2 x cat6, and 2 x RG6 cables to every location going back to a central closet location with a Media Computer I built to give Internet access to all TV with Bluetooth keyboards and ir repeaters in every room. So basically I have a true A/V distributed system but still hooked up the Xbox in my den which I basically built like a home theater. Since it has a pass through, it's not like an additional input you need to fit in with all the equipment you already have since it just goes on end of the line. On the other hand it is possible to distribute it to whole house, but you would need to extend the kinect and buy multiple ones for each room, but you wouldn't be able to play two different games at a time,

Bottom line, it's not designed or advertised to be a whole home unit, but is a great addition to whatever location you plug it to that adds voice control and easy internet access via refined apps, if you ever used a media pc, which I built a really nice i7 system, the native resolution can affect picture quality when surfing the web, so using the Xbox apps it alway displays a optimized resolution and great picture.

I know it's not designed to be a whole home unit; that's what I would have liked it to be if they're all about integrating entertainment.

If someone has a high end system like yours, it probably would work miracles. I got tired of messing with IR repeaters and Bluetooth remotes automatically unpairing and just went with RF remote repeaters that caused a lot of interference. They worked great but I had to unplug the repeaters to get the best picture.
