Impossible! Everyone knows Sony is all about "teh gamez" and that they have the most / best exclusives.

I especially like the "Time Spent" charts... Sony had the longest conference and spent nearly half of it doing something other than showing games. Remember when M$ got all kinds of crap for focusing on stuff other than games at the XB1 reveal show last year?


Sony - 58 minutes

MS - 60 minutes

Nintendo - 31 minutes

 

you were saying?

btw, yes, the graphs do show Sony has more exclusives. 15.

 

Anyway, which shooters did Sony show other than Destiny, BF hardline, The Order and Uncharted 4?

Yea, they had more time so it follows that they could talk about some other things. Microsoft only has Xbox. Sony has multiplate bases they need to cover in one presentation. When talking about Xbox, and you devote an hour of an hour and a half to TV....that's alot different than when talking about Playstation, you talk about Playstation, and TV stuff is a separate segment (they weren't talking about how TV stuff was integral to the PS experience). "PS TV can give you remote PS4 play and PS Now, and original digital content is coming" on top of an hour of PS4 talk is a lot different than "On Xbox One, you can watch TV....on your TV!" and that's the majority of the "Xbox portion" of the presentation (i.e. the only portion since MS doesn't have other platforms and devices to support) .

I was saying this... time spent not talking about games...

M$ - 30 mins

Sony - 50 mins

Oh, and I forgot about The Order, thanks for reminding me :)

So if a company got on stage, showed 5 minutes of games and left, it'd get bonus points? Just because it didn't spend time not talking about games? And Sony definitely did not spend 50 mins not talking about games, that pie is rotten. PS Now and PS TV = games. The only part that wasn't "games" was Laydon's bit about statistics and the Powers show. No more than 15 minutes, at most.

So much for Ms not showing any Gameplay... The split between games and other stuff is healthy too.

Exclusives, more releasing in the remaining year for xbox, then Sony hitting back in 2015. Pretty interesting times ahead.

If it's true that the Treehouse event wasn't counted in the chart then it should be redone because Nintendo's treehouse event was apart of their overall E3 presentation. It would be interesting to see the chart with that event added in


I feel sorry for the person who sits through that entire thing to take statistics.

Not to mention they'd have to do the same with this:

DI is a first person melee combat game
MGS is a stealth game. If any shooting is required it's usually just in boss battles

I did say "i'll give you GTA"

I guess Zelda is a shooter cause you can aim and fire a bow

Yep, Zelda is a shooter:

you... kind of have it wrong with Nintendo.... Nintendo didn't spend 47 minutes...That was their digital event to start the show off. They spent over 20 hours over the 3 days showing gameplay videos and stuff through the tree house live events and there was more than 12 games shown/announced as well... I don't understand why people only seem to include the fact that Nintendo did a 47 minute presentation to start off and then nothing else mattered.....I am pretty sure we are going to see Sony and MS copy the tactic Nintendo did this year next year or the year after.

Sony has been doing that for years.

Hahaha..... this is what happens when people spin facts to suit their agenda. Do "teh" math... you would be surprised with your results.

Both Sony and MS already did that, just differently. They also didn't finish with just the conference

Did they? Or did other game sites like IGN do that? Because I never saw much from Sony or MS themselves going out and doing all that. It was all outside sources doing that for them where as Nintendo hosted it all for themselves and used twitch to stream it.

They did, well at least i am sure of sony. Sony had a channel on youtub showing live footage and interviews and on stage demos with the developers there to talk through the game. They did it through out E3. Even had a programme guide.

Lol, MGS And Dead island 2 are not shooters. I wouldn't even call GTA a shooter but i'll give you that one. The other 2, absolutely not.

LOL try advancing through either of those games, ESPECIALLY GTAV, without using guns.  The only thing you do more than shoot in that game is drive.

and that is mostly to get you to the next part where you shoot....

And MGS is a shooter. Yes its called a stealth game, but its primary gameplay mechanic is shooting, even if its the tranq gun. Try playing any mgs game without firing a single shot (though you wont be able to beat the bosses) and that will count as the ultra hard game mode.

Its interesting that Sony has more exclusives despite the absence of GG, MM, PD and many other first party studios.
