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

As others already stated. Sony showed games, and made it a point to address the fact that a lot of the problems the PS3 faced early on won't be happening with the PS4. Sonys entire focus was games and gamers.

The thing is, you say Microsoft wasn't aiming at gamers with their reveal. Okay, who were they aiming at? Because casuals sure don't watch stuff like this, same for E3. Casuals don't even know what E3 is lol. The audience at these type of things is always real gamers.

 

EDIT: Also, what do you mean by retail view? Early adopters are NOT casuals, which is who Microsoft aimed their presentation at. Early adopters are the core gamer, which Sony focused on.

Exactly this! I think this covers it really. The "core gamers" are the vast majority of the people watching these reveals, and are the ones that tell all their friends about it and make the most noise on the internet. And the main things they want to know is that you are fixing the problems from last gen and bringing the games.

PS4 reveal addressed the mess that was Cell and RAM issues, didn't go insane with specs so price is sorted, and spent most of the time showing games. So it was a decent, well received showing.

X1 reveal didn't address anything. Nothing about bringing more value to LIVE to make it competitive again. And all they said about boosting their first party IP was 30 seconds of "15 exclusives, 8 new IP we promise! We are spending more money than ever" which was "please be excited" x100! If they had dealt with these problems, it would have been passable at worst.
