And so the audience ruined Nintendo's conference for me

laughing with or at Sony was still more laughter than that quiet presentation of Nintendo.

So, being laughed at is better than just presenting your product? Maybe if you're doing stand up comedy. You have an odd perspective.

You said it, we were watching two different presentation. It seems like the folks at the Sony press event were having fun.

More like different perspectives of the same presentation -

I viewed it from the eyes of an industry member seeing what Sony was offering, bringing to the market, indifferent at first. I truly felt embarassed for Sony during the whole Wii-mote rip off device. It was hard to watch, made me feel bad for them overall.

You viewed it from the perspective of a Sony fan, you went in with hopes and dreams that Sony would overtake the market and reign supreme again. Anything that they presented was amazing news to you.

Putting it into a different mode, its like an adult and a kid at Disney World - the adult sees the rides and prices of admission, food, etc. The kid sees it as the most magical place in the world, full of wonder and awe.

Good to see people posting well-reasoned comments. It shows that some of the gamer community can see outside of their own world view, expectations, hopes and fears. Funny that people can be scared of another system selling well really. I'm glad MS and Sony have come around to developing motiony input devices as it is an exciting time for gaming.
