Hardly interesting, all can be spun vice-versa.

He's most likely right, especially with the bad press MS is getting from it.

No, not really. From an unbiased viewpoint, I think he's right. Microsoft underwhelmed during the presentation and fudged up the post-presentation Q&A interviews. There is no doubt in my mind that the guys at Sony breathed a sigh of relief when they went to bed that night, and had a few smiles when they read the fallout the next morning--especially since they didn't have to do a thing but watch the Microsoft miscues snowball.
Now, obviously, a lot of that has cleared away, but it still left a less-than-optimal impression.
Microsoft could still win E3 with some bombs, of course, but that's a different subject and we won't know for another two week. Just comparing the reveal presentations, though, I think puts the PS4 in a better position than the Xbox One, as least in terms of gamer reactions.
Personally, I think Sony won the presentation war because of the things they did NOT say. They had a better battle plan and they most followed it. Microsoft, on the other hand, was all over the place, not on the same page at all, and gave a lot of half-answers. That's never good. Don't confuse your audience and then clam up. If you don't have a crystal clear statement then stay away from the subject. I wouldn't say Sony set a trap for Microsoft, but they did let Microsoft step on all the boobie-traps first. Now, if Sony reveals the same kind of policies, the fallout won't be nearly as note-worthy.

He's right. This Sony princess didn't lose any of her beauty sleep.

I believe that's The Witness.

How, precisely? Sony has done everything right with the PS4 thus far. For that matter, Nintendo has practically been falling over themselves trying to appeal to/lure small indie devs, and by all accounts they've been doing a very good job of that. Both seem more interested in actual GAMING, and all Nintendo really needs to do, is provide a (MUCH) better marketing campaign in the second half of the year, and get some of their big sellers out the door.
So how precisely could anything that he said really be turned around the other way?

Why are xbox fanboys so delusional? I for one hope that the XOne succeeds so there can continue to be some healthy competition in the industry, but to continue to post and act as though Microsoft has done no wrong is plain and simple denial. I get that there are several of you who are on full damage control duties, but it is much easier to interact with xbox fans who can accept the weaknesses of their preferred platform instead of searching for every little thing and way they can to defend their chosen platform. Wake up.

The true weaknesses of the XBox One have nothing to do with this article. This article points to the reveal not showing any games, but that doesn't mean the One won't have any games...
Sometimes I wonder if gamers really are so stupid to think that. Either way, E3 will tell you if the system has a weakness in games.
Now, all we know is that MS is pushing the system as an all-in-one entertainment box. Its true weaknesses come in the form of certain policies and poor relationships with indies, but that was nowhere in OP.

I wasn't responding to the OP.... im pretty sure I quoted who I responded to. I was actually responding to a string of posts from this particular user as it seems this person refuses to accept that there are any issues with the Xbox One. I never said the Xbox One wouldn't have any games, I am actually looking forward to what Microsoft has in store because I am almost positive that they will secure some exclusives and be creating more in-house that will convince many people on the fence, including myself, to purchase their system despite the drawbacks. So quick to respond, you need to calm down and think before you post, otherwise you make yourself look foolish, as you just did. Good day.
