This is a big deal, a major exclusive, but having a new Souls game doesn't mean they "won" E3. Both Sony and MS are going to come out guns blazing and its way too early to call whose conference will be better.

Souls is huge with the core community. There's next to nothing MS could show to outdo it unless, as I said, it's something absolutely huge like GTA or Fallout (which isn't happening). Nintendo still has Zelda though.

Thats simply not true.
At one point in time the Souls series didnt exist. At one point Uncharted didnt exist. Halo didnt exist. Hell Mario didnt even exist.
MS could make a new IP as big as any of those games you never know. Its waaaaaaaaaay too early to declare a winner because of 1 title.

MS hasn't created a big new IP in many, many years, arguably since Halo. I wouldn't expect that from them.

Unfortunately for that analogy, the souls community is NOT just PS players. Making this a PS4 exclusive is going to fracture that pretty badly and isn't a reliable "core" since the game is no longer (as it has been for two itterations) hitting the same audience accessability.

It being announced this early means that Souls fans looking to upgrade can now make a choice knowing which console will be the definitive home for the Souls series, so in that sense it's good that they get the news out there.
