So delay both consoles until we get some "true" next gen titles?

Those who buy next gen consoles will get more impressive experiences on day one. There isn't a gun to your head though, you aren't obligated to buy these machines at launch.

Has nothing to do with what I said.  You're lying to yourself if you believe what MS showed can't be done on current gen.

Fact of the matter is, all the huffing puffing d*ck measuring that MS was throwing around with XseX, most powerful, 12TF, faster CPU, etc.. talking about confidence in the games they're going to show led by said flagship title, after saying you're confident of your games after the Sony show, lackluster May showcase, and now a few months from new gen launch and that was all you could muster for a first party flagship launch title??  mediocre gameplay and trailers with no meat.... 

Sorry, MS doesn't seem ready to play ball next gen yet.  When all the crap and miscues from this gen still lingering in the background and fresh on people's mind and the importance of first impressions moving into next gen, especially from one of your own highly touted flagship studios and flagship titles, this just didn't cut it.

If anything, this showing just made me more confident in what I'll eventually purchase.  At least in Sony's defense, you have more than capable first party devs who'll maximize the potential of Sony's console.  Small glimpses of what to expect now, even if not "next gen", and given their history what you could get later.  Same thing can't be said for MS at the moment.. Just don't see how they can be defended.  

Think of it this way...Xbox has a bad habit of starting strong and tapering off. By mid gen we be lucky to get one AAA exclusive per year.

Now we have all these juicy trailers with no gameplay, what does that tell you? It tells me Xbox getting great games in the mid gen when they finally ready. Year 2 and 3 are gonna be great years to be a Xbox gamer. Confirmed gen over gen improvement :)  

You can’t honestly tell me Fable and Avowed won’t be great because you didn’t see gameplay. Gimme a break. The premise of each and studio track record should speak for itself. Like despite not seeing gameplay, the end of Avowed alone warrants it being on many gamers watch lists. A LOTR Skyrim game exclusive to Xbox....Xbox hasn’t been the WRPG king since the 360 days.
