The funny thing here is that Sony has gone in the opposite direction with the PS4. I remember someone, perhaps Yoshida, talking about how they learned from The Last Guardian reveal and are trying to keep things under wraps as long as possible. Horizon, for example, is a 2016 game. Bloodborne was revealed not long before release.
Everyone tries to hype their own products. Some are just better at it than others.

Horizon is not gonna be out next year, you´ll see, is one of those games that gets 4 delays like the Witcher 3. I would not expect almost anything shown on the Sony conference before 2017, they have created an ilusion that hides the fact that they dont have any exclusive megaton anytime soon.

Pardon my French but screw "exclusive megatons". I don't give a rat's nether regions about what internet forums decide is worth megaton status or not and neither does the average gamer.
You want to know why most people think Sony "won" E3? Because they showed the most games. THAT is what it's all about, after all, and Sony's show was game after game. Even if someone doesn't like everything they see, the more stuff you show, the greater the chances are that most people will find something they like, something they can be excited for, something they can tell their friends about.
Now, given what I've just said about Sony's show, why was Nintendo's show met with so much negative feedback? Yep, a lack of games. All the puppets in the world won't make up for that.
It's a really simple industry. You give people a lot of choices and they will find something they want to play and they will trust that you will have more stuff that they want to play in the future. Sony isn't winning because of hype, as some people want to believe. They're winning because Sony has done a better job at gaining the trust of the average gamer that they are the company least likely to let down consumers in terms of content and delivery. It's as simple as that. Most people weigh the near past and the foreseeable future when they make a decision on which console to buy.
You can call that hype if you want but it's really something closer to simple logic.
