Considering Microsoft didn't lie to their fans... they instead chose to fix what people didn't like. Sony, when it came to DRM (the most hated feature people didn't like about the Xbox One's initial design... the one they fixed...) decided to hide the fact that they planned on also using DRM on the PS4. Instead of telling their fans, they just hid it and covered it up with a console update.
I'd rather a company be straight forward with me about something they want to do... and be willing to fix it if the fans didn't like it... than a company lie about something and try to hide it from me and change it before they get in trouble with their fans.
Now let me continue by saying this:
The Playstation 4 AND the Xbox One have YET to reach their full potential. You can hardly say that Sony has won the next gen battle when both companies are just now getting started with their new consoles. We will probably never be able to gauge who wins the next gen console race.... because one year Sony could be ahead, and the next Microsoft... shoot who is to say that Nintendo doesn't release a console that knocks the socks off of both Sony and Microsoft?
Both consoles have been successful.
