Sony is good at showing things way too early...

- Death Stranding: announced at E3 2016, we haven't even seen gameplay yet or what kind of game it will be.
- Final Fantasy VII Remake: announced at E3 2015, but they only recently entered the development phase...
- Shenmue III: announced at E3 2015, we haven't even seen gameplay yet.
- Dreams: announced at E3 2015, haven't seen much of it since.

You forgot:

-Wild: Announced at Gamescom 2014, only been shown once since then at Paris Games Week 2015
-Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice- Announced at Gamescom 2014, and has barely been seen since then.
-Lily Bergamo: Announced in April 2013, it finally released as Let It Die in December 2016, 3 and a half years later.
-Deep Down: Announced at the PS4 reveal event in early 2013, only shown once since then.

And of course last gen there was:

-Agent: Announced at E3 2009, hasn't been shown since then.
-The Last Guardian: Announced at E3 2009, didn't release until 2016.

Of course MS and Nintendo have also been guilty of announcing some stuff too early this gen, though it hasn't been as bad as Sony for either of them.

Scalebound - announced E3 2014, shown again at E3 2016, now cancelled

Phantom Dust reboot - announced E3 2014, got turned in to a remaster, presumably getting closer to a release now.

Fable Legends - announced E3 2014, now cancelled along with the shuttering of Lionhead

Crackdown 3 - announced E3 2014, still hasn't released.

Black Tusk's game - announced E3 2013, cancelled when Black Tusk became The Coalition and took over Gears isntead.

Below - announced E3 2013, hasn't released yet

So easy to cast the first stone isn't it.. Turns out game development can be complicated and delays/cancellations can happen due to unforeseen consequences. Now, do I think Microsoft and Sony should be more careful with showing of things that might be a while away from release? Yes, but to pretend like this is a "Sony" thing is ludicrous. It isn't, like you say, not as bad for MS as it is for Sony, it is just as bad.
