Opinion: Sony lacks variety

In all seriousness, Sony was all about new games this year. Microsoft has had the same E3 for 3 years now, save for DR4. Not sure how that qualifies as variety unless you're talking about the hardware announcements

Microsoft shows what is coming out this year, mostly.  They will show a couple of games for next year, but that will be more focused on at Gamescom.  Sony just likes announcing games 2-3 years before launch, well The Last Guardian was upwards of 7 years, but I think you understand what I am saying.  While getting new announcements is good, when they are so far away it is making people know that there is so-and-so game and not having any clue when it will be release.  What is the point in announcing a game?  I just never understood this marketing tactic.  I mean Microsoft has attempted this but sadly games like Fable and Phantom Dust have been canceled.  Each company is marketing different.  Microsoft's E3 is showing games that are coming out this year, while Sony is announcements for games coming out in a couple of years.  The one thing I wish Sony would do is talk about their ecosystem and what they are going to try to improve with their interface or by adding more features.  I think Microsoft does an amazing job at console support by improving the console every year and adding new useful features that gamers can take advantage of.
