Xbox One IS backwards compatible, atonishingly PS4 isn't, also it's not possible to play MP3's on it! All in all I think the XBOX One is looking much better at the moment, love the fact that you can hook you Sky box into it as well and have a proper media hub.
No, Xbox one isn't backwards compatible, actually. In fact, eventually Sony's Gaikai cloud gaming serice will make it possible to stream PS, PS2 and PS3 games on the PS4, while Microsoft have said that this will be problematic on the Xbox one. Though to be fair, I imagine this will eventually be possible on the Xbox one too at some point. Ofcourse you'll need a very good internet connection to do so.
I'm not buying any console just yet. The PS4 has some technical issues with release, and I'm sure the Xbox one will too considering the red ring of death issue last time. And there are really not enough good games released intially to warrant an immediate purpose of either in my opinion.
