Xbox's conference, I can't tell you why it was so bad, outside of maybe MS really thought that just shouting 4K over and over again somehow actually get them to the top.
Sony's, on the other hand, wasn't bad, but its fairly explanatory why it felt subpar compared to last year's. It's the development cycles for these games. The games they're pushing for are massive and as such the developers are needing a lot of time. The problem there is that it would be very difficult for Sony to announce new products, while still garnering attention for the announced products. They don't want to kill hype for games before they release. One could say they shouldn't have announced these games so soon, but they need to to maintain consumer confidence that they haven't just taken our money and ran, but instead have an actual long term plan. Them not announcing that many new things is the beauty of why they're going to be at 3 (possibly 4) more gaming conventions throughout the rest of the year.
