This E3 both Sony and Microsoft had a lot of multiplat games roughly around the same number they had exclusives

Microsoft: Assassin's Creed Unity, The Division, Call Of Duty Advance Warfare, Witcher 3, Rise Of Tomb Raider.

Sony: MGSV Phantom Pain, Arkham Knight, GTA 5, Far Cry 4, Destiny.

(note i may have forgotten some please remind me what i forgot down below)

The Pro of this is that they do give the third parties some spotlight 

The Cons are that seeing Sony or Microsoft putting third party games over their's shows that they may not have that many exclusives in development and how it makes wish they like a on stage demo for Halo 5 or Uncharted over like Arkham Knight or Call Of Duty. While only EA and Ubisoft have their own conferences they can just show their games there and not at any of the first party conferences.

certainly a good thing. whoever says its a bad thing is looking at it in a console war point of view. who ever actually cares about playing many good and diverse games, then they would consider it a good thing.

Certainly a good thing. They are backbone of the industry. Gamers and industry needs them.

I do wish there was a big 3rd party stage demo parade that wasn't directly put on by Sony/MS/Nintendo. Then the big 3 can have tighter, more focused shows that are exclusively dedicated to their hardware and 1st party stuff.

a problem with though is with me as a multiplat gamer if one of the companies are mainly showing Multiplats over exclusives just shows me that owning both consoles isn't a good thing cause it kills my interest in that console 

I think overall it's a good thing - certainly for the developers. They get free press (and in some cases maybe money/deals).

The issue that most people seem to forget is that console manufacturers cannot be the sole provider of games for a console, because that would mean they would need a massive number of development teams and a would need to jam pack every conference with games, games and more games, which they would not be able to do. So 3rd party involvement is necessary.

sure, exclusives are important, i didnt say to not show any. in fact the more the better. but if there is a lack of multiplates then there is a problem. 

this is true each Console needs both third and first party in order to be successful like why do you think the PS3 eventually surpass the 360 cause they had third party support on with Microsoft and they released more exclvusives then Microsoft for the last couple years

This obsession with exclusives is getting ridiculous. Next time people are demanding to only show exclusives and make it a 20 minute show like Nintendo.

Multiplats are important. They also need the big exposure of being at a conference.

Definitely smart to have multi-plats in your presentation. Give people as many reasons as possible to want a new video-game system. Look at the reactions to Batman and Destiny. These games move consoles.
