The difference is that Sony actually showed off some exclusive games and didn't try to pimp their crappy search engine. Microsoft's conference was a disaster, and you know it. Gears was good, Halo was excellent, and the rest was filler. Sony could have done without Spellbook or whatever their strange Harry Potter game is, and with some more information on Last Guardian and Agent, but what was actually there was entertaining. |
I'd argue they needed that though. This is one of the few times the mainstream media pays a decent amount of attention to the games industry other than talking about the odd mobile app or how bad violent games are. It was a boring (for us) but necessary marketing strategy to get out a potentially mainstream product in a currently niche market.
