They focussed the entire console around the wishes and needs of the developers. That is the biggest reason. Devs know PS4 has the best dev kit and they choose the PS4 as their main console to develop for. They asked developers what sort of hardware they needed and they said they needed super fast RAM. Sony delivered. They didn't cut costs to deliver a sub-par platform that tried to do too much.
Second reason is the honesty and the lack of backstabbing. Everything they communicated was clear and understandable to gamers. In other words they showed they care about their core audience. The gamers.
I think their lead is sustainable now if you see that Watch_Dogs sold twice as much copies on PS4 already. It's looking worse and worse for developers to create X1 exclusives.
