They haven't won a E3 since the 360 days(heck those were some of the best E3's ever)Yup E3 for Xbox might win another year it seems. They have the games, the hardware, the graphics, the performance, the controller and the online multiplayer.
Looks like a win win.
Drag that chit out with 4K HDR streaming service support for Vudu,Amazon Netflix etcGames? Well then drag that b**** out for an extra hour IDGAF. Do it Microsoft!!
This gen.... mosts opinion
From Easy Allies via GAF:
Percentage of time spent showing games (vs. talking), last E3:
Sony: 71%
Microsoft: 56%
Bethesda: 50%
Ubisoft: 52%
EA: 24%
I agree with thisI agree. But when you say that Xbox gamers only own the system for multilayer games, that's not true. That's a big generalization.
Sony has been knocking it of the park.I liked the way Sony presented their show last year, just enough talking so it didn't feel rushed.
A self-described "industry cynic," talking about the similarities between the 16-bit era and today:
"Long story short, this time period [the 16-bit era] seemed to focus too much on technology and not enough on games. All I wanted out of the industry – all my friends wanted out of the industry – were games. The magazine pages once filled with previews of new games began to focus more and more on hardware.
[....]
"With E3 2017 just around the corner, I fear more of the same. More discussion about new hardware that will already be outdated in a year than a focus on the games for them. I really hope I’m wrong about this and that I’ll walk in there only to be wowed by some fresh game concept that will remind me why pre-order programs exist in the first place. I really hope that I can walk in there and not come out with the same unimpressed vibe I felt last year. I hope I can see an industry that is once again focused on providing wonderful and groundbreaking game play experiences, rather than continuing to hype the boxes that are supposed to run those experiences."

Unlike him, I was very happy with last year's E3, I enjoy my Pro, and I'm interested to hear what additional benefits Scorpio brings to the table. But I agree with his overall feeling that constant talk about hardware is not what I want, not what I'm primarily interested in.
I'm going to be cliché here, but to me, it is always, ultimately about the games. That's what I'm interested in hearing about, much more than the boxes we run them on.

EA is saying they are showing 8 games. 6 are known (Battlefront 2, Need For Speed, FIFA, Madden, NBA Live, Battlefield 1).
Nirolak, manager at GAF, says:
"Based on teasing and statements so far, the other two are probably:
- Hazelight's game (they made Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons)
- BioWare's new IP (This is project Dylan)"
I'd definitely be interested in hearing about either of those projects. EA's conference is Saturday.

Nailed it. That's why PS4 will continue to be the best console this gen. It's all about the games.

When i feel like watching TV or a movie i go with Xbox. When i feel like playing games i go with PS4.
And Sony's was only 1 hour and 15 minutes. That is why I don't want 2 hour conferences. It just ends up being talking and fluff.
Better switch back by Sunday. Microsoft is gonna bring it like Brady.
I don't know about all that. They might throw a few touchdowns, but Brady? He's got 5 rings. Kinda like Sony.

it was all about the power in 2013
It never was though. Xbox fans let themselves feel like lesser gamers because they didn't have the power advantage anymore. If PS gamers acted like they cared, it was just to get under their skin. It's always been about the games. PS1, PS2, and PS3 were all considered the weakest consoles of their respective gens and they all sold close to 100 million. Xbox fans are the only people who have ever cared about power. #irrefutablefacts
I didn't know Bellybama was making a game...Project Uranus.
Hmm...
TD PLZ JUST USE A AVATAR WITH MULTIPLE CONSOLES!When i feel like watching TV or a movie i go with Xbox. When i feel like playing games i go with PS4.
Power, price and Mattrick's mouth were the holy trinity for PS4 this gen
Agreed.It's always been about the games. It still is. It was during the 16 but era. Both consoles had great games then and do now.
These commentators are acting pretentious and seem to be anti power now when it was all about the power in 2013. Technology and platform features can help make good and great games better. If they didn't, we'd still be gaming on OG Xbox and PS2.
Huh come again more than Bloodborne was in the top 10.Power isn't everything but it's part of the equation. Power, price and Mattrick's mouth were the holy trinity for PS4 this gen. Through 2+ years, Sony's only AAA exclusive that cracked through the top 10 in their yearly sales was Bloodbourne. Everything else was multiplat.
