Also, I'm not down with "at least we got to see something".  I like when a reveal is actually a reveal.  I am used to a presentation where they show the hardware, give the specs, give the price, and show off exclusive/next gen games all in the same presentation.  That is what we've always gotten in the past.  That is what I expect.  Now Microsoft is just dangling a carrot in front of everyone's face when they really have nothing to show.  This presentation really sucked.

There is this old saying, "Those who know, don't say, and those who say, don't know."  Well this is a lot like that, only it's "those who have something to show don't say, and those who say don't have anything to show."  Microsoft is saying a whole lot, but they really don't have anything impressive to show.  They trickle out info and hype it to death, but it's really a lot of nothing, just like this presentation.  Sony is holding their cards really close to their chest.  They means they have something great to show, at least they think it's great.  Microsoft doesn't even think their product is great, so we get a constant, fluffy, marketing blitz instead.

That's interesting as Eurogamer did an interview with the game developer and they said it's just xbox series x and pc. Here's the article https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-05-07-layers-of-fear-dev-bloober-talks-its-xbox-series-x-survival-horror-throwback-the-medium.

The system details has been mentioned by Ms that it will be next month and the first party reveal in July. That's when u get the price. This event was to allow third party show off their games that will come on xbox series x. It won't be much different if it was Sony doing it. It's not what we expected but we got something. Better something than nothing. Sony hasn't done anything apart from specs talk and pic of a controller. 

That link only leads to a 404 error.  Could you try again?

Your second paragraph basically ignores everything I said and just restates your own points.  Let me do the opposite and acknowledge what you are saying.  To restate it you are saying, "Yes, Microsoft's presentation sucked hard.  And they are going to give us two more sucky presentations.  If Sony was doing a presentation, then it would suck hard too.  But we don't even get a sucky presentation Sony.  You hear that Sony?  Where is your sucky presentation, huh?"

What I am saying is the opposite.  I don't want a sucky presentation.  No presentation is actually better than a bunch of sucky ones like Microsoft is giving us.  I am very content to actually wait for a good presentation where they tell us everything at once.  That is what these companies have always done in the past. 

On top of that all of these sucky presentations from Microsoft are a smoke screen.  They are trying to make it seem like they have something great when they really have nothing.  What does it look like when a company has something great?  They hold their cards close to their chest.  This is what Sony is doing.  Sony, at least internally, thinks they have something great, so they are keeping it secret to wait for a big reveal.  Microsoft has no big reveal.  That is why we get all of these sucky presentations that are a bunch of nothing.
