In all honesty, not that great of an article or reasons. It's pretty much all subjective and will depend on each person. I'll grant PS4 the power argument and the fact it's $100 less.

For me personally (bolded to make it clear that this is just my opinion on the other three points), the controller argument, Xbox One wins, I just plain like their controller and the feel and hold of it on 360 and I'll like the Xbox One controller. The exclusives, I find Xbox One has the better exclusives that I personally actually want to play. The only exclusive currently that would make me run out and buy a PS4 tomorrow is MLB The Show. And for indie games, that, either way, I couldn't care less. I've never bought an indie title on 360 and never really have any interest in Indie titles, so how great one system is over the other, makes absolutely no difference to me.

As for the whole 720 vs 1080 stuff, it may be somewhat noticeable in pictures and gifs and whatnot, but when I'm playing a game, really, I'm not going to care that much or even take notice of any differences. So that whole argument doesn't matter to me.

Only reason for me to buy a PS4 right now, the fact it's $100 cheaper and MLB The Show. Otherwise, Xbox One has the exclusives that I want, it's where all my friends from high school, college and beyond play their games, and I've already got a gaming history set up on the Xbox systems, I've got Xbox Live through March (it'll be extended to March 2015 when I get a 12 month Live Gold card as my yearly Christmas present from my sister), I'm already set to make the leap to Xbox One come November 22nd. PS4, I'd have to start over, setting up a new account from scratch, building a friend's list from scratch, paying for PS+ (or whatever they're going to be calling it on PS4), etc.

I'm looking at getting a PS4 eventually, but it probably won't be until at least 2015. Right now Xbox One will be my launch day platform for this coming generation of systems. The PS4, will be eventually bought, but bumped down the line for now.
