Nobody knows if next gen games will play better on AMD or Intel, it is mere speculation.
Just because the company makes the hardware for the consoles doesnt mean they'll run the same at all, otherwise everything would be running on AMD like shit on a shovel.
I have a 3570k and an 8350. Neither show any real world difference to me, a lot of the time they trade blows, but the Intel comes out on top by small margins in games.
4770k will obviously perform better by small percentages.
I'd get the Intel.
990FX DOES have all the features, in fact you can get more SATA III 6gbps ports on an AMD board than intel for cheaper, both have USB 3.0 at comparative prices, and in terms of crossfire.sli support, both board types have those in all shapes and forms.
It is literally down to current performance, and since we do not have graphs and random data to tell us otherwise, the 4770k is unknown, but presumed to be better than the current gen.
Who knows what AMD will bring out, but it will evidently be similar to the Bobcat/Jaguar processors in the PS4 and Xbox, perhaps this time a genuine 8 core.
In short, if you're in a hurry, get either 8350 or 3570k, because theyre equally good in my eyes.
In long term, just wait for the 4770k and buy one.
I would suggest going AMD then if you don't perceive much of a difference if only simply because AMD likes to keeps it's sockets around a lot longer then Intel.
