The image damaging reveal, the image damaging Mattrick, the image damaging PR, which ultimately led to a trend of hating and bashing the Xbox One, with Sony cleverly firing shots at Microsoft and adding oil to the already big fire.
While arguments like hardware/multiplat surperiority may be true, the more dominant factor would be the media, since the 360 had the upper hand with many multiplats but compared to now nobody seemed to care about it. Now, it's the Xbox One's end after every inferior multiplat, it's unplayable/unacceptable if it isn't 1080pee, it's a bad because the numbers say so etc.
Having a more appealing line up of games is a minor factor compared to that. Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Horizon 2, Master Chief Collection vs Second Son, TLoU, DriveClub, Little Big Planet sounds quite evenly matched to me, and those are the names that carry the respective consoles in 2014.
In my opinion, when I look at the situation today the Xbox One deserves it more than PS4, with IMO a slightly better AAA line up, with better support (monthly updates), with more and IMO better functionality for both gamers and non-gamers with Kinect or even without Kinect, but you don't get to see a lot of things (good or bad, Xbox or Playstation) before you actually buy it.
