I agree with the dev and the OP. I get that we are supposed to expect the unveiling of games for the platform during E3. I get that PS4 didn't have a perfect press conference either. But I also understand that a vast majority of websites and news articles (even on mainstream outlets like Yahoo) had a majority of positive feedback from fans for PS4 and negative feedback for XBox One after their respective press conferences.
And that's the point here along with all the other posts which have criticized Microsoft. I'm not saying MS won't have games and the company won't put a lot of effort into their product. But they underwhelmed at the press conference by unveiling their machine with little care for the fans that buy their products. They just didn't give gamers any incentive to be excited, and I don't really think many other consumers were overjoyed by the announcements of the machine's functionality with respect to TV.
Isn't a press conference supposed to inspire and excite? If it's just relegated to being a pre-show for E3 in which the functionality is displayed and all the boring bullet points are covered, what's the point of even having it? The reality is that MS could have potentially stole PS4's thunder by simply showing some games, but they didn't.
And I'm not saying these press conferences or E3 will be truly indicative of either product, but I think most of us complaining about the borefest that was MS's press conference have an issue with just that...their press conference. So if you have to defend MS with a statement like "MS will show games at E3 so get over it" or similar, you are only reinforcing the point that the unveiling was underwhelming so we have to WAIT for another show to really get excited about the product.
