Not to defend the Xbox One's many faults, but the answer is very simple:

Because they want to play the games that are only available on it. Or they want to play games with their friends on xbox live. Those can be very powerful motivators, games and friends aren't commodities.

The trick is a LOT of people on twitter/etc are basically saying screw MS right now, so if that holds than playing online MP with your friends will go Sony's way. That leaves only exclusives, and beyond Halo and Killer Instinct I haven't heard of much that would sell many copies.

if the xbox one receives more bad press than it already has, some publishers of games might start to think that an exclusive with xbox one is not going to give them a large enough customer base!

I certainly hope this happens. I for one, hate platform exclusive games - it means vendor lock in, and it is anti-consumer.
