PS4 or Xbox for a slow old man?

Hey guys,
I'm still considering my console options. Switch is sold out everywhere, and I guess right now, I'd basically just be buying it to play Zelda. So I've been considering a PS4 or Xbox.
Question is, which of those two has more laid back, easier, less twitchy game options for a slow, uncoordinated old timer? Or are they about the same libraries, other than a few exclusive titles?
Thanks!

Same thing as Dodge vs Ford, ect.
Not really tho.
Playstation has soooooo many titles from PS1 and 2 and even 3 now available. Especially all those old school RPG's. (which actually play best on the Vita.)
Biggest one was Xbox live and psn memberships. On Xbox live every month you get decent games and it adds them to your library, stays with you forever.
When I had my first xb1, I had 0 games. Just bare bone console. And I didnt wanted to play xb360 games on next-gen. But due to I was a member for long time. I was collecting free xbox 1 games every month. My brother says it was an issue on ps4. So he wasnt actually able to use it for long time due to lack of free content.
Another must be mentioned subject is, xbox game pass. They are going to release a membership in next 2months. It is going to contain 100 titles for a small price.
Both controllers are decent, you might not like both of them. It takes a bit time to get use to it.
Exclusive titles are to me on XB1 a bit better than PS4, that will sound like a fanboy. But I rather Forza Motorsport than Gran Tourismo. Upcoming PS4 exc. titles are more dominant than xbox one's. But then it still depends what kind of games you like.
If you dont care about cheap content and If you have a lot of money. None of these above doesnt matter to you at all. So pick anything you want to pick. But If you want to have cheaper entertainment, I highly suggest Xbox One.
Last one thing, Xbox One SDK-XDK became a lot easier for developers. So therefore mmorpg's started to crop up on Xbox One. Basicly it means, easier for developers port games from pc to xbox one.
End of the day, it is your call.
On top of that Xbox is almost ready to release project scorpio. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/project-scorpio
The Xbox pad is great plus the Games with Gold are great and play most of them which is new but the best part is now my son has switched over to Xbox too and with the gameshare he can play all my games as well at no extra cost which also includes Xbox Live Gold. I buy Xbox Live Gold and can share it with him so he doesn't have to buy it now that is awesome and any game I buy, he get's it too which Sony doesn't do so I save a lot of money every year.
Also as someone else mentions, you get backwards compatibility with the Xbox so you can play many Xbox 360 games which are very cheap now and you get two every month with GwG.
But the potty mouths on global chat have been getting more and more disrespectful, and especially if one of them loses a duel. You would think the world just collapsed if they lost! But most games have this type of stuff, it just seems like there has been a lot more of it on the console. Before you say, 'just don't watch the global chat', that is where a lot of teaming requests come from.
Then someone started bad mouthing me because I refused to duel with them. This person asked me 6 times to duel, but I was not interested in duelling a level 30 CR 159 on my level 15 CR12 alt. I blew that off, but a couple of days later I had someone asking me to duel, which I declined. Then they asked me again, and again, and again... I was in a safe house, so I zoned to the Watchtower. But he figured out where I was going, followed me and asked me to duel, again... and again... and again...
So I logged off and have not logged back in since. That was 6 days ago.
If that is the typical experience in a console game, why would I be interested? I've decided to stick with PC gaming for now... maybe I will try the Xbox again in the future.
BTW I doubt the PS4 is any better.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
I only had a ps4 , the exclusives where fun for a while but u finish them and that's it..most pc games these days come whit controller support anyway and u can easily buy a ps4 controller whit a bluetooth adapter for your pc , if u really want controller!
Save money for weed and pc upgrades! *oldman* o/
Honestly, until you can get your switch, your best console investment would be on a PS4. I'm still waiting for reasons to get an XBO. Halo doesn't cut it for me and Forza, Gears of War and Recore are on PC.
My old xbox 360 has more exclusives that XBO right now (both not playable on PC and not available on XBO backwards compatibility list).
My thoughts.
Also the good thing about XBOX live you get to keep and play the games if u have XBOX live or not on PS4 the free games that are giving monthly can only be played if u have PS+.
I like both Consoles for different reasons .
I highly suggest upgrading the stock HDD to a SSHD .(hybrid drive) not expensive and worth it for the load times boost.
He did mention also he was wanting to play ZELDA , I'm not sure but isn't Zelda a Nintendo exclusive?
I do lean more tword the PS4 though .
You mention wanting to play ZELDA?
I'm not 100% but I think ZELDA is a Nintendo exclusive game so it wouldn't be available on Ps4 or Xbox1 .
You would have to look into this if Zelda is your main reason for buying a console. If not id just say read up on both. PS4 has more exclusive AAA titles than Xbox.
All pretty much boils down to what kinda games your into and which system is dedicated more to that Genera of games.
Me and my cousin gameshare with one another anytime one of us buys a new digital game.
I like the Xbox1 as well though for several reasons u mention above .
But I do find myself playing PS4 more though. The great thing about the xbox1s is the 4k native and also the Blueray player can play 4k movies where the PS4 is just a Blueray player.
The ps4 pro was upgraded to 4k as well but it's honestly no point in buying a upgrade if you do not own or plan on buying a 4K T.V. as well .
The Ps4 decided not to use backwards compatibility because they offer a service called PSNOW which has 400+ older and newer games you can stream for a fee per month. As you stated though I don't feel its worth it. Maybe if it was included in the PS+ membership but I didn't find it that great .
The new Ps4 controller are better than when PS4 was 1st released. The battery life is better on the PS3 controller though .
Both are great systems though Imo.

No really, my PS4 has been great for games like Skyrim and the Witcher. Easy to handle, fun, good interface.
Remember Xbox has EA Access which Sony for some pea brained reason decided the players didn't want. £20 a year for plenty of EA games and 10% of store purchases .. worth it to me.
