Regarding publishers preferring the Xbox One because of the DRM... If both consoles cost the same, then maybe.
But what will really matter to them is how big each install base is...and given the clear difference in price I would expect the PS4 to end up in more homes, which will make it more attractive to the publishers regardless of the lack of MS-style DRM. The DRM issue will also make it more attractive to gamers, adding to the price factor.

Me... I did this generation, and I will do for the next one. Each platform has exclusive games I want to play.

Yup.
I currently have an Xbox One pre-ordered.
When I get home, I'm going to cancel that pre-order and place one for a PS4 instead.
£80 cheaper, more powerful (faster RAM plus double the GPU cores), more games, no always-online restrictions, no game re-sale restrictions, region free for games.
I will get an Xbox One eventually, as e.g. I want to play Halo 5 plus also Titanfall looks interesting... But neither of those games are out this year and there is no way I'm dropping 800 quid on two consoles in one hit.
This will be a reverse of the current generation, where I got a 360 at launch and waited until the PS3 was cheaper.

Not really.
The PS4 does not
require the camera, unlike the Xbox One, so you can't really use the price of a PS4+camera to make the gap seem smaller.
PS4 = £349, Xbox One = £429.
Clear difference of £80.
