I never said Wii U and Xbone didnt make any bad dicisions, they did, and it was costly. Mistakes outside of simple hardware specs. When I said 'different' I meant different from the stereotypical gaming device. Wii U tried to emulate Wii with a new controller, Xbone tried to be a movie and entertainment device that people didnt want yet. While Sony pretty much said, 'new console does what a console should'.

Most of the features you listed on the PS4 are post launch and not really selling points (nor is the Wii U gamepad or Xbone camera) (games are the major selling point in my books).

All I am trying to say is upon reveal Xbone goofed up big time and the PS4 presentation was designed to be anti-Xbone without really saying it is unique to their console.

Really?

During the PS4 E3 the XB1 was never mentioned, either in name or reference. In what way was it Anti-Xbone? The Price? The price that Sony cut by 100$ in 6-9 hours.

They made all the AntiXB1 changes after X1 reveal? A month before XB1, of of the policies people barely clarified?

I wonder if any one who say the PS4 barely distinguishes from XB1 actually saw the announcement or the reveal, you know the one 3 months before the XB1 reveal that PS4 retroactively reacted agianst?

tl:dw

here's the gist of it: SharePlay, PSNow, suspend/resume, streaming, rest mode, making it easier to program for etc...


as for the E3:

summary: games, PSNow, PS4 Reveal and price, Vita, and yeah stating their stance on DRM

2 minutes of "Anti Xbox one" or just clarifying there stance on Used games, a question that XBO and MS forced everyone to ask

in a 2hr conference, AntiXb1 indeed, the remaining 1:58 of everything else including game reveals(Which you said are major selling points in your book) apparently wasn't saying how their console was unique but was just filler that wrapped around the two minutes of actual conference:

FYI: Digital DRM originated on PCs out necessity, MS are the ones who fcked up the way they tried to introduce it, and then people started asking Sony what they where going to do, and that was since May, before E3
