Haha, I did think it was cool actually, along with a slew of other features, but I just don't think a lot of those little cool moments were adequately proportionate to the applause. Others (Annoyed Gamer, Kyle Bosman over at GT) have made comments on how the applause seemed forced, and I agree.
I'm a Sony fan (not a fanboy), but I'm also a XBox fan too. While I've purchased Sony consoles, my brother has had the the first and second XBox and we've played on all of them together. Just because a lot of people didn't enjoy the press show to the level of those that would fawn over every little feature doesn't mean that we're all fanboys who just hate the XBox. The show was just underwhelming (almost everything from the design of the box looking like a rectangular PS Fat, the rambling on about how the box interacts with TV and even the name).
Certainly, a lot of Sony fanboys are trolling the XBox just because they would regardless of whether the unveiling was good or not, but there are a lot of us who just wanted more. Conversely, there are a lot of XBox fanboys who have been giving it rave reviews (i.e. the clapping and oohs and ahhs over trivial features) just because the machine is XBox.
