Key arguments -
Timed exclusivity vs real exclusivity
Gamers being abandoned by Microsoft
Tamed fanbase
"Trusting" a company before you buy a console

Holes in theory -
Too many to list

Civilized answer -
People buy what they like and they liked the Xbox and what it had to offer despite some of the problems like RROD.

Last gen PS3 came out late and everything they did was always slightly behind Microsoft. The big games came later, features came later or not at all and all with a console price premium and a bag of empty promises.

How could you trust Sony they will deliver with anything they said at the conference? Even they don't have a clue how the PS4 is going to look like or features its going to have. It may have streaming, or it may not...this sounds like a winning strategy.
