you said they didnt have a choice but to put tell the gamers what they were bringing to the table.  i said they had a choice and that the show should have been 90 minutes.   stop being so defensive.  last time i check sony's show was 2 hrs so cleary i was talking about ms reveal alone

Sony will play the waiting game. If (for some odd reason) this turns benefits to MS pockets then Sony will follow suit.

Sony also said that is "It's a publisher decision. We are not talking about it. Sorry.", so this means that Sony 1st party games won't have any sort of fee or blocking, but apparently there's nothing stopping 3rd parties for doing the same thing they are going to do with the Xbox One.

Another benefit is that Sony's E3 conference is after Microsoft's, so they should be prepared all guns blazing if they need to....or tone it back if required, defending how well the MS show is? Also pricing could be a battle too. If MS come in and say the Xbox One is gonna cost $399, then Sony if possible can place the PS4 @ $399 to match....it will be very very interesting...shame I will miss the Son y conference as I will be sleeping.

Oh so MS choose to reveal the "game console" by showing TV functionality and no games? Game console reveal had always been about the gaming hardware and its capabitlity to play games! not skip over it and show rest of the stuff it can do.. and E3 is all about Games. and for DVR & stuff MS could have had a seprate event for that may be consumer electronics.. This is not the MS which launched 360. 

lol definitely not the same MS that launched 360.  but i really dont see what the big deal.  ONE thing they said they would do they did.  

"On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.

On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we’ll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games.

We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we’ve been working on."

I know MS had already informed about what the impending announcment would be.. But thats my point what should xbox target demographic be hardcore gamers, who bought Alan wake, Halo, Crackdown, gears etc.. guys who fought with PS owners about system spec GPU and CPU Ram.. or the casual mainstream audience who would like to change the way they watch TV and interact with it? Maybe u just dont see it! it is a big deal that how MS shifted it focus to casual audience to be the priority over core gamers who made what xbox brand is today!

I have been saying this since yesterday! I am happy with the Xbox One, My issue is with MS, since the arrival of kinect MS has gone off track!

Well, I can't argue against that.

If Sony doesn't decide whether or not their own online service is free then who does?

Mmm... George Washington?

You replied to my post, which was a conversation with Wright about Sony implementing an online fee.

You should clarify which part of a post you are responding to.
