This is the first time I have seen a console war as much more than a console war. It is a consumer war, and a vote for the One to win is a vote for the consumer to lose.
As a consumer, I do not want something opposed to my values to be given my money, or allowed into my home.
This is coming from someone who recognizes they have a much better exclusive line-up of games for launch (probably due to more publishers liking their DRM policy), and who prefers their controller. It absolutely does not matter. Their consumer policy from 24 hour authentication (yes, I'm posting this online, no our online does not always work perfectly, and in fact just recently went out for a few days) to confusion regarding game ownership paints them as dead on arrival for me.
I can wait for everyone else to find out what does or doesn't work about these systems at launch, and I can wait for just about every non-Halo Microsoft exclusive to inevitably head over to Sony; and probably vice versa. I'll be buying a PS4, and when is the only question (but it will most likely be post-launch).
