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

Firstly I do not hate Sony, in fact I love my PS3 (I have a great dislike of M$) and I am in no way trying to badmouth them, but I just think that the PS4 is more successful than it should be. Simply put there is nothing special about it. 'Special' that sets it apart from a standard gaming console. I am not saying that is a bad thing or that consoles need to be innovative with a new control method for example, but compared to the other consoles the PS4, in my opinion, is playing it safe.

The Xbone was never directly mentioned in the Sony E3 no, but from what I gathered, as well as many on the internet is that Sony took some jabs at the Xbone.

As for the original reveal and what not, none of those features interested me nor seem that important to gaming at the moment, thus I couldnt recall them (yes this can change in later gens but as of right now there is too much focus on it). And I dont think many people would buy a PS4 for those features listed anyway.

Yes I know DRM came from PCs and that M$ tried to introduce it onto the Xbone in a pathetic way, I just think the way Sony handled their own stance on DRM was a little mean (especially that commercial that explains how to share games on PS4).

I know the PS4 is the better console spec wise and price wise (initially), but game wise it is lacklustre in my opinion. To me the PS4 is the lesser of 3 evils.

Nothing I say will make you think otherwise, nor would anything you say to me, so let us agree to disagree.
