I liked Rime and Bloodborne, the rest seemed pretty meh to me

Which is why I said *General consensus and not biased opinion. The majority of the big videogame outlets crowned Sony the winner of E3. 

I agree with the article. When you want to sell your console, you have to provide unique experiences that are only available on that console, and nowhere else. Sony clearly did that and had the better conference over MS by a long shot. Rime looked absolutely gorgeous with the Wind Waker like artstyle and expansive world. The Tomorrow Children looked eerily quirky. The Order: 1886 was finally presented properly and it looked really good. Wild was a total curveball that took me by surprise.

Best of all, Sony's focus on games was consistent throughout the entire conference. No TV BS, thank goodness... And when they went into Firmware 2.0 and its new features, Sony was succinct and still kept it in the context of gaming.

I thought Sony's was terrible only based on how much people were making it seem that the real E3 presentation was going to be gamescom. PT reveal was brilliant. MS's was pretty much E3 lite, and other than rollercoaster game I dont remember anything of note. Both were poor showings, article writer is bias.

I thought their conference was fine. There were plenty of games I did like.

According to who? Or are you just saying something just to say something?

All that and you didn't even mention the genius of Silent Hills

Argh! How could I have forgotten that? That was bloody brilliant!

I really doubt Sony's was a poor showing. They had a ton of games, alot of new ip's, console exclusives and exciting partnerships. The emphasis on what they brought to gamescom was some way or another New, New, New, I say with the exception of destiny and Far cry 4. Any other current projects were kept short such as quick trailers at the beginning for lbp 3 and order 1886.

Compared to Microsoft who brought Fifa dlc which we already know about from last year fifa.
Call of duty which we've already seen single player gameplay &multiplayer.
Halo, which is exciting but we really didnt see or learn anything new about that.
Tomb raider exclusive which isn't really a benefit for the xbox gamers Since it is already coming to xbox, its more of a negative to sony fans vs a positive to xbox fans.
The only standout points were some cool looking indies and for some, Quantum Break gameplay.

Gamescom should be about showing off the future, the new games. Microsoft harpered too long on stuff we know is coming to xbox, at least most of sony's announcement was about something new to PS4 such as DayZ, WiLD, Hellblade etc.
