i picked the ps4 because u can "gameshare"
i have 6 ps4 launch games COD Ghost, Battlefield 4, Lego Marvel, Assassin Creed Black Flag, Need For Speed Rivals, and Killzone Shadow Fall
and it only cost me $105, not only that but they are all digital downloads so i dont have to swap disk

That's totally true. To me, the plug-and-play versatility of a disc is gone though. Games need to install no matter what console you play them. So if it's not as easy as just popping in the game and going, there's no real advantage of having it over a digital download. But the advantages of digital seem pretty strong to me (other than not having a case/box/etc... which is.... going to be weird for a while for me).

it doesn't bother much with games as I'm more of a "once and done" kind of player with most campaign games. It bothers me more with music, books and movies since you give up a lot of your "rights" as the owner when you go digital.

My roommate finally got her PS4 two days ago. I still am not impressed with any of the exclusives (other than the visuals in KillZone), but it's a nice machine. I'll get one eventually.... Probably when Uncharted 4 comes out.

The PS4 is sold out everywhere yet the X1 is available at Gamestop and Best Buy. It goes to stand that the poll is accurate and most would rather have the PS4.

People swayed by MS hate and price tag. Nothing more. The X1 is a fantastic gaming device with great games, a great controller, and the new Kinect is surprisingly cool and useful for voice commands. "XBOX Record that" is my favorite. Without skipping a beat or pausing the gameplay, it will automatically save a Game DVR clip of what you just did; anywhere from 30 sec to 5 min retroactively. No need to pause your game and no need to preemptively set something to record. Works excellent for recording stuff in online matches.

Funny story! I was in Wal Mart yesterday and finally saw 1 PS4 and 4 X1's. So I got happy to purchase the PS4 only to find the games lacking big time. There is no launch games on both platforms that interest me(Forza 5 is lacking a lot of things). So after I saw the games weren't to my liking a guy rolled up behind me within seconds and bought the last PS4 while I was checking out the games. He didn't waste no time..lol. And he was acting like a crack fiend and watching me like" I hope this guy wasn't watching this PS4 because I'll kill him for it" But the X1 glass case was filled to the brim.

Just depends on what kind of games people like. Nothing on PS4 remotely interests me, and cross-platform games I'd rather play over XBOX Live's network with an XBOX controller.

Plus, I'm personally a big fan of both Dead Rising and Forza. Dead Rising 3 fixed a lot of quirks I didn't like as much about 1 and 2 and is incredible good fun. FM5 is good, but not as good as FM4 was. As a launch title though, that's OK. Everything was built for the game new instead of copy/pasta all their content from old games (cough GT cough). Plus Titanfall in the spring will be monumentally good. The only thing I can honestly say I'm looking forward to on PS4 is Uncharted. And even that's not THAT great of a game. Entertaining, but not earth-shattering.
