I don't think it's unreasonable for Spencer to defend his platform and point out that most of their games are releasing in the immediate future.

But MS has done exactly the same... and as i said earlier Sony have released more exclusives so far this year and in the second half if you ignore about 40+ games that Sony will release, are only 1 core exclusive away from MS's 4. So it's pure "We'll pick a timeframe,we'll pick the rules to make something look good in our favour", while most people can see and feel the difference and dont fall for this marketing, its a shame he has to resort to it.

The titles I think the majority of us are most interested in are the ones that have mostly had distant or undefined release dates, the key exception being Uncharted 4. Microsoft may be focusing on the end of this year, but it's hard to ignore that the games Sony has been relying on to create the most hoopla over the past two years haven't been coming out in the immediate future.
Otherwise, there's a reason I picked the PS4; there's more games I'm interested in and I frankly don't mind waiting for the games they're advertising. Heck, we're probably about half a year removed from an arsenal of new games for their VR, so whomever that appeals to will be more than satisfied. When you read the tweets and watch the youtube videos, though, Sony has been "winning" these E3's based largely on games that aren't releasing within the year that they are announced. I think that's what Spencer was saying, and it's not unreasonable even if it misrepresents the larger picture.
biglittlesps said: Sony wanted to focus on whats coming in future (they skipped games which have release dates as they are annoucing them in other events because sony has year long announcments compared to MS) instead of whats coming this year which many already knows. Many watch E3 just for knowing what comes in future more than whats there for Holidays which is MS focus always. |
Yeah, and I'm fine with that. It doesn't matter much to me who is perceived to have "won" E3, but that's the topic that comes up in interviews constantly and so Spencer felt the need to defend himself. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a great many games in the works for a year or two down the road that's just eating away at him as he fights the urge to announce them lol
