Am I the only one who doesn't understand people saying the PS4 reveal was amazing compared to Xbox One?

MS told us upfront the games would come at E3.  The launch event was console vision as a whole, which they delivered.  A little preview of all the different console envirionment features, from TV to UI to Kinect features to games.  Just what they said they would do.

And at E3 we're going to get buried in games.  People forget that a dozen good titles in year one of launch window is a windfall of games.  Consoles usually launch with 5, 6 games?  

I don;t know why people are expecting 30 titles or something on the first day of a console campaign.  It's completely ridiculous.  They can;t produce quality games that fast, and if they blow out all their devs in the first 6 months, they're going to have nothing new for 16-24 months minimum after that, and then everyone will wonder where the games went. 

It's not like they can run over to Radio Shack and pick up a AAA-title kit and whip something out over the weekend.  Think about when they finalized specs and firmware (if it is indeed even finalized) and then think about getting the games up and running and polished/not buggy enough to make a good impression.  I'd be amazed if either company has more than 4 or 5 games even close to that stage at this point.  Games miss the launch windows ALL the time trying to get things right under new systems/engines/console parameters.  Look how many miss their target dates a decade into a cycle.  

 

A lot of you are compltely unrealistic in your expectations, so you're going to be disappointed no matter what in terms of seeing software early.

Just some more pretty pictures (Graphics) man!  That's all I wanted.

Like maybe a show of that fantasy world demo they kept showing in the background, but only on the big screen.  Sort of like a free sample from a restaurant.  Something to entice.  Get us a little more hungry for E3.

It just seemed to stop a little short. Like, whops, it's over and Good Night!

And granted I was a little bitter over too much sports.  Also outraged at the thought of Spielburg making a little young Master Chief go skateboarding down a tree (ala Hook) and meeting a young alien Grunt.  There Julia Roberts plays the magical fairy Cortana.  Then they become friends, and have to hide from government people with Walky Talkies.  Please say no to Halo: Goonies.
