The answer is really simple

Sony's presentation was towards the core gamer. The audience for events like that (and E3,GDC, ect) are the core gamer

Microsoft's was for the casual crowd... which is fine and all. If they want to target the casual gamer instead of the core gamer that's their decision. Problem is that the audience for these events is core gamers. Casuals aren't watching these events live. E3 for the casual crowd isn't a nerd holiday lol.

So yeah when you hold a reveal like Microsoft did and give a big "fuck you" to the core gamer when the only audience besides industry professionals is the core gamer... they are going to give you a big "fuck you" right back

And people need to stop acting as if the negative reaction to Xbox One is just Sony fanboys trolling. The folks from Kotaku, IGN, and even Sessler will tell you how awful the reveal was and the atmosphere in the room was. Only Microsoft employees were clapping. And they are the same people who reported Sony's "Giant Enemy Crab" and "Riiiiiidge Raaaaacer".
