They're going to have to pull the wool over people's eyes with their advertising, because right now Sony is delivering absolutely more value at a cheaper price.

The term value is very relative to gamers. For example, some players prefer action adventure games better so they choose Xbox. Others prefer JRPG they go with Play Station. Others, platformers and eastern gems so they go with Nintendo.

In that case we'd have to look at the objective side of things. PS4 has a lot more value for a cheaper price in terms of stronger hardware, removable HDD, headset, smaller paywall to get multiplayer, touchpad input with controller, more compact design (no powerbrick). Since game preference is highly subjective, I'll just say that Sony has a proven track record of supporting their consoles with high quality games throughout their lifecyle (ie. not just the first couple of years).
