Microsoft: New powerful hardware and price were basically all they had going for them. It would take time to showcase games that take advantage of the power. At the same time, they don't want up alienate fans who bought an Xbox One in the last few years. Tough line to walk.
Meanwhile Sony probably thought: both competitors are going to be showcasing new hardware and software to take advantage. How can we compete? Let's just show some games. No point in any "megatons". We're winning anyway.
And Nintendo (who I actually enjoyed) never have a full presentation these days. And, despite the love that the Switch is getting, still just don't have that third party support.
