Forums - Sony - Why Didn't Sony Win E3 Hands down?

atomicblue said:
Honestly, I haven't got a ton of interest in either company at the moment, but I'd say Microsoft had a stronger showing at E3 just because their line-up is looking strong now and into 2016.

Sony had some big announcements (which I have my reservations about anyway) but very little in the way of exclusive content for 2015, which I feel like they probably should have had.


PS4 also has a strong line up now and even more into 2016, it is jsut people dont or choose to not see these games. So no matter what people choose to see, the reality disagree with this.

Exclusive content for 2015 only on PS4 : Bloodborne, Dragon Quest Heroes, Disgaea, Tomorrow Children, Until Dawn.

Exclusive content for 2015 only on X1 : Forza 6, Halo 5.

 


Sooo....You may want to pick PC or 360 games to get a better list of games but it wouldnt be called exclusive content anymore since the console wouldnt be necessary to play it



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I'm still waiting for you to show me a consensus of Microsoft winning E3. Since you clearly believe that the vast majority of gamers preferred Microsoft's conference then it shouldn't be difficult for you to prove it right?


I never said what the vast majority of gamers think because how would I know? One thing I will say about E3 is that it has shown me that people will indeed eat anything if they are hungry enough.

It does say something about Microsoft's lineup if people got way more excited about games that are years away than anything they showed off. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Unfortunately, some people would never admit to Sony winning even if they know it was better. For me, Sony was much better.

Because MS8.5/10 Sony 8/10.

The exclusives are slightly better, for me personally. Plus dat controller.



Im a huge fan of FF7... so FF7R was enough for me to declaire Sony the winners of that E3.



Around the Network

Because people have different tastes and opinions? Otherwise why bother even having different games or consoles?

Shenmue 3 - I gave both of the original games a shot when they released on Dreamcast. Even as a huge Sega fanboy, they bored me to death. Thus, Shenmue on PS4 or Xbone or PC does literally nothing for me.

FF7 Remake - I'm not 15 year old Ludicrous_Speed any more. I don't do JRPG's anymore. FFIX is the last FF game I have played. FF7 Remake on any platform does literally nothing for me.

The Last Guardian - Looks good. Of course, it looked good like 10 years ago as well. This game is not even on my radar until they completely confirm a release date and I see it on the shelf.

Horizon - Looked incredible graphically. But this is Guerrilla Games, I need to see more of how it plays, and how the story is before I'd get excited for it. GG always have great graphics. They also (imo) always have ridiculous art and ho hum gameplay/story. We already see the bad art.

Uncharted - Looked fantastic. But we all knew it would. Nothing I saw really looked new. To me its become like a CoD E3 demo. You just know a lot of scripted craziness is coming, so you become dull to it. A shame next gen hardware hasn't changed any of that.

Dreams - Never cared for LBP, this game isn't on my radar at all.

I think that pretty much covers what Sony showed that wasn't multiplatform? Let me know if I missed anything. And for MS:

Halo 5 - Looked good. And expected. Though, Warzone looked like a blast. I would say it was as good as Uncharted.

New Gears reveal - My favorite moment of the show. So tense, such engrossing atmosphere. Cannot wait to see more.

Forza 6 - It's racing. It's Forza. It's nice that they have rain now. I don't watch Forza at E3 because I usually don't buy the games because they always pull some shady content/DLC shenanigans.

Fable - Another one I kind of tuned out of. Only interested in this if it gets strong word of mouth.

ReCore - It was just a CGI trailer, so I could not care less.

Cuphead - Looked amazing. Looked like old school fun with amazing graphical style. aka another possible Ori.

RareReplay - 2nd biggest moment of the whole E3 for me. Jet Force Gemini, Battletoads, RC Pro Am, Blast Corps, among many other gems? Only $30? Incredible.

Gears Ultimate Beta - They revealed this and launched it that day. Been enjoying it greatly thus far.

Game previews - This will get better as time goes on, but the ability to demo a game in development and try it out before you buy is great. It's been popular on PC, people seem to be ignoring its announcement on console.

360 BC - another feature that will just get better as time goes on. So much salt, so much downplay. The Xbone library will get a lot bigger. And you already saw at E3, companies offering free companion games with Xbone software purchases.

Tomb Raider - Another in the Uncharted/CoD category. Looked good and looked fun, but it was heavily scripted to look that way. I would put it right alongside Uncharted.

So for me, MS "won" pretty easily.



I honestly think TLG and Shemue aren´t very interesting for most people, while MS has more commercial heavy hitters (expecially Halo) so I think it is a matter of persception. For example, if MS would announce a rerelease of Panzer Dragoon Saga, they would win the whole year in my view, but I understand if most people just shrug their shoulders since it is not a commercially strong title.



i think they were both about equal for the most part, ms had a better showing of the games coming out, then sony did. Sony's announcement of : shenmue 3, which for me was not a big surprise because of hints about the game over the last 6 months or so, ff7 remake has been hinted for so long that i did not give a shit that its now going to happen ( will buy the game because i love the final fantasy series ), tlg i dont give a rats ass about it because i hated the previous 2 games. Since its all opinion based on who won, if example : sony had announced dark collection for the ps4 or a remake of the 1st game , or a remake of the legend of dragoon, then sony would have won e3 by a huge margin if my opinion.

Sony didn't win because you can play games on a 10 year old console now. Also, the FFVII remake doesn't matter because it's an old game and people have moved on. Conversely, though, Halo 2 being completely remade was apparently huge when the MCC was announced. So, in actuality, it's not so much that people have "moved on" from an old game; it's that people have moved on from this particular game......even though it is the most demanded remake of all time.

If you don't see how MS clearly won, then you are willfully blind. /s



i've got 2 reasons why some people would say microsoft won, trolling and bribery aside:

1. sony is already winning this gen so some might think it's better to side with xbox now for competitions sake.

2. people are cheap and shortsighted. free stuff, like the ability to play a few old games on a new system, will always excite them.
