Yes. Same reason I had/have a 360, PS3 and Wii. Before that a Xbox and PS2. The 360 was the default console last gen. I really dislike playstation controllers so for cross platofrm games that is typically the deciding factor unless one actually runs much better on one console compared to another (not talking a slightly different draw distance but honest to goodness runs smoother). PS4 one is better but still not as good. May even get a WiiU but not sure at this point. Kids are satisfied with the 3DS.
For me the Xbox One would likely be the default because of the other stuff. I like having the game on in the corner while I play (especially during intermissions). I like being able to switch back and forth...yes with voice. I LOVE being able to turn the damn thing off from across the room when the kids are pissing me off. There was a lot of stuff we wondered about using but find oursleves liking those things. Even the ridiculous Xbox record that. I thought I'd never use it and low and behold early on I scored a beauty of a goal in Fifa and I yelled the damn line out! It's an enjoyable console. I'm sure the PS4 is as well.
In the end, coming up on a year into this next generation I think it's actually pretty clear that a new generation wasn't really needed yet. Both companies likely could have held off for another year or two and went to something truly next gen gaming wise. Doesn't mean I won't buy (first world problem and all).
