Of course opinion doesn't make fact. Which is why I didn't include any of my personal opinions on the titles shown in my post lol. Games announced and actually coming to fruition in a reasonable amount of time seems like a pretty objective metric to use. There is no real correct answer for which show was "better" and people will also measure that in different ways. |
A show is a show. People WILL call Sony a better show for the show itself not for the games that will or not really come out before years being shown at that show.
it is like saying that rating a music show is based on how well the album will sell in the following years. Xbox had good shows, all your examples is about how those games did not come out or for one of them how it was disappointing when it came out years after, but it does not make the show bad :)
Sony usually comes up with less content overall in the past years. But again, having most of the market, expectations are different. If you have 100 people that are waiting for a new game for their Play Station and Sony announces one AAA, and then 10 people waiting for a new game for their Xbox and Microsoft announces 2 or 3 AAA. Sony will still be seen as having a better show at the end (no matter what happens after the show, but really just for the show itself), like last year and the years before. If you look at the content, numbers are definitely favoring Xbox during those shows.
I am not disagreeing with you about the fact that a lot of those games are not out yet. But you cannot ‘rate’ a show 2 years later based on what happens after!
And yes, in the end, it is based on taste and favoritism anyway. Sony > Microsoft in market share, simple as that. As Droid said, anything coming out of Sony behind will be gold by default and then may be adjusted down if it is really bad. Anything coming of Microsoft is shit and may be adjusted up if it is amazingly good…
On thing that people picked up from the Spencer interview (like those 2 morons from IGN); is true. Sony is WAY ahead and it is very difficult for Microsoft to compete and to equal anything Sony does, it takes 2, 3, 4 times? the effort/money, etc. And that's why they are not trying to "win" the console war, they are instead trying to do something different. Even if people pretend that it should be easy for Microsoft to beat Sony by just coming out with "good" games like Sony does... That's BS, people invested in their console and they have a huge bias toward that. I know I'm going a bit on a tangent but it is to illustrate my point.
