Agree with all 3.

In their defense, I don't think they treated yesterday's Meeting as a game conference. Naturally, it'd be different than E3s.

It maybe that it was not meant to be conference, but you can still present information better and still cause excitement. Presentation is still a presentation. I think the choice in who they had was not as great as well as the companies they chose to share the stage.

I think the sales figures for the slim/neo will prove they excited the consumer enough.  it's easy to say they didn't excite but ps4 owners are already really satisfied so it's going to take something like half life 3 ps4 exclusive to excite us at this stage.  

 

We're just content now and enjoying the gen.  Sony know this and don't need to try hard and put on an "exciting"  show. Just show us the hardware and we'll show you the money.

Conferences outside of E3 can't be entertaining then huh?

Meetings don't have to be devoid of all personality and fun.

That's practically the definition of meeting based on the ones I've attended :p

 

It was very meh but tbh given the only intention was to clearly define the point of the new ps4 pro (the magazine's/websites can now spice up the details for their audiences) vs the existing hardware and introduced the revised skin model I think it did it's job.

This. Pretty much this.

That's what happens when you spread your announcements on 6 conferences per year (E3, Tokyo Game Show, PGW/Gamescom, PlayStation Experience, The Game Awards, GDC). Playstation Meetings are about hardware and the future of the PS brand and Playstation Experiences are about software. One is for consumers and the other for gamers.

This.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been in many military breafings where people were cracking jokes and kept things entertaining before we would go out for raids. Let alone the meetings I have now.

I have a boring office job with meetings full of meaningless buzz words PowerPoint presentations and graphs :(

They sure can but when zero games are being announced, how exciting do you expect it to be? It doesn't make sense to compare it Nintendo last Direct. Press getting hands on immediately after and returning with previews is likely why the meeting existed in the first place.



I understand. I also always fall asleep during conferences unless there are flashing lights and jumping Italians every 5 seconds on the screen to refresh my tiny attention span.
