The reason why Sony's conference was better is simple. They where really more informative about the stuff they talked about. They went deep into the specs and the vision they have for the console.

Lets be honest Microsoft talked for an hour and I still don't know what the hell they where talking about. They didn't they where vague about everything and still are.

28 million views for the PS4 commercial unveiling. Spike TV is a male oriented TV channel, theres a high chance that it didnt reach enough people. If it was on ABC, NBC or CBS in the states Sony would be in trouble.

The only in game footage wa sknack and killzone4. teh rest were tech demo whihc is worthless as teh final games using teh engine won't look that goo d. not even close. Plus  killzone company tend to bullshit their graphics when they reveal for new machine cough kz2  so relly i only saw knack for me and teh graphics for knack was nothign special in my opinion. Not saying Ms did any better. Both in my opinion were average reveals. 

Prior to the release they di dsay e3 willb be all about games not th e reveal so i don't kwno what people were expecting if they knew teh reveal won't be about games lol

Sony showed part of the OS actual live demos and showed us how next gen will work and I am sure they'll still school MS in first party development to boot at E3 but I am sure MS will bring it (For the first time in their lives). They did it this gen and they'll do it again. Games should always be expected of a company that invests in the gaming experience. If not...question their motives.

I am going to get both of them and the Wiiu so yoru point is moot lol as i bashed it too lol

I thought the PS4 reveal was pretty awful to be honest just basically more of the same, while next box looks like it's going to offer something different. ATM the PS4 gets a MEH from me while Xbox one I am pretty interested in what else it can do.

To be honest I think MS is more on the ball ATM because to be frank I don't think more of the same type gaming is really going to cut it with the state the markets in.

Showing tech demos of what can be doen is pointless because the games made for it won't come close to that visual fidelty . Even at the end of its cycle teh graphics will nto come to that quality. Kz tech demo that they use  for kz 2 has not been achieved at all. not even close. plus the trailer from square enix. we all knwo the ff games using the engien won't have real time graphics like that. CG  moveis may be. Demo from capcom that looked too good to eb actual graphics. Pc would be  the best platform or the closest oen to achive the graphoics not Ps4 of Xone. the one by quantic dream was just  a tech demo which i scool but doesn't mean anythig as its not gameplay graphics running in real tiem thast shown. Sony showed mainly the controller and teh shared function of how it will work if a user were to pess it.  Ms did the same with kinect and how it woudl work with multitaskign and so on. Aprt from few extra demos and tech demos both had teh same reval average reveal . Don't forget sony reveal was two hours and ms only had one . if ms had teh extra hour i am sure they would have squeezed in few more trailers deos or techdemos. The best is to wait for e3 and see with teh games tehy who , which machine is better :) MS said e3  will be about ganes and they said 5 exclsuives in one year. so they haven't forgotten teh core part which is games. Wait for e3 is all i am going ot say lol

What....are...you..talking about? MS showed absolutely nothing. Sony showed what next gen will look like. Thats the point. Sonys only mistake was not showing the console. Everyone had to excuse MS for their affinity for casuals over gamers so they granted them the one show to show off the entertainment features of the Xbox One. Sony never gets carried away with that, but it doesn't mean they wont pander to casuals once in a while. 

P.S.

MS said they are showing off 16 exclusives, which means the majority will be Kinect, third party made or XBLA. There will be like four to five actual AAA games outside of Forza 3, but yes let us wait for E3.

None of them were "amazing". I think that people just like the fact that the Sony conference was centered around gaming.
