Gotta be XB1 reveal. No one actually thought MS was going through with it and those who did frequently said Sony was just being mum on it because they were going to do the same thing. After that Sony E3 conference the meltdowns were incredible. I'm watching E3 with my friend literally with our jaws dropping and laughing at every policy reveal and then the price was just the knockout. No one could believe how definitive and direct they were with their message and some hardcore Xbots were converted. Then that Amazon poll with Xbox losing 22 to 1 in ratio before being taken down. Then Don with his INFAMOUS "just buy 360" policy for servicemen. The single biggest swing in marketshare in E3 history. We're still seeing the effects of that meltdown today with Sony leading.

I haven't watched the whole reveal because I had no interest in the console... but here in the community the comotion was certainly huge... and we still have people that believe Sony wanted to do the same and waited for MS to show first and be burned and them made the 1st day patch to remove it (no one have found this code on the patch yet).

even me, who doesn't really like Xbox, was saying that they wouldn't do it.  I just couldn't believe they would try something so stupid.  When they revealed the console and then started with the whole reveal of policies confiming everything I just laughed and then shook my head.  Like really?  Then I was worried Sony would do the same thing and was soooo happy during that conference.

It was uncanny, I can barely believe they done it. From the previous rumours and the backlash that followed they could see that by E3 it would only get worst. And some of the fanboys first said the rumour were false, then that MS wouldn't screw them, then that Sony would follow, then that it doesn't matter because they are always on and love digital only, them that sony invented the idea but waited MS reveal before comiting to it, then that the idea was great but sony fanboys didn't gave MS to show their vision and now some complain about how great it would be but sony fanboys made MS forfeit it.
