Forums - Sony Discussion - Facebook says Sony's E3 generated the most buzz

Facebook worked with Pulsar to track conversations about E3 on Facebook from June 7 to June 14. It focused on the publishers who hosted a press conference at the show.

Sony had the largest share of voice among publishers who hosted a press conference, capturing over 30 percent of the conversation from June 7 to June 14.

The most-discussed games after the press conferences were The Elder Scrolls: Legends (Bethesda), God of War (Sony), Titanfall 2 (Electronic Arts).

“This really shows that people are talking about games on Facebook,” said Rick Kelly, the vice president of global gaming at Facebook. “It’s exciting to pull those insights together to inform more of the industry.”

By contrast, the most talked-about games in the week leading up to E3 were The Elder Scrolls: Legends (Bethesda), The Legend of Zelda (Nintendo), and Watch Dogs 2 (Ubisoft). Conversations about games on Facebook climbed tenfold on Sunday, tripled on Monday, and peaked on Tuesday.

Among those talking, males dominated the conversation about press conferences with a 72 percent share of voice, and there was an equal age group split between 18-24 and 25-34 year-olds.

It's not even close. What more could MS of done?



whao Facefu..kbook watching us!!!



 

 

Sorry. But Facebook is wrong. Or else this was purely negative buzz.

The PS conference was severely lacking. In fact, it was so lacking that a competitor beated it (by a long shot) with only 1 game that was announced in 2013.

 

No variety (we prefer multiplayer only games, yesterday we didn't though)

No release dates (we prefer bullshit dates resulting in delays, yesterday we didn't though)

No holiday games (we prefer new releases in only 3 months of the year, yesterday we didn't though)

No games also on PC (we prefer to buy a console where all the exclusives are also on PC, yesterday we didn't though)

No new hardware (we prefer new mid-generation hardware announcements, yesterday we didn't though)

No OS update announcements (we prefer talk about OS announcements, yesterday we didn't though)

No sales numbers (we prefer talk about sales numbers (Uncharted 4 obviously flopped), yesterday we didn't though)

No gameplay (we prefer ga... What? Only Crash and Death Stranding didn't have gameplay?)

No CGI trailers (we prefer CGI trailers, yesterday we didn't though)

 

Am I doing it right?



Do you know how you can tell this is some bullshit spin...

1. Not one mention of Xbox One S / Scorpio in the article, which topped my trending feed for hours on facebook (more than any other game mentioned ad E3). Everybody with half a brain knows this is the most talked about thing post E3.

2. They writer very well knows the headline ''Sony won'' would attract more views than ''We happy few won''....

3. Which brings me to the same clown also writng an article on how Xbox ''won'' the hits game. The difference is though, the tags on the ''Sony won'' = Gaming War, E3 2016, Facebook (to attract the most clicks).

There are no tags of such source on the ''xbox wins'' article...

This is a very strange looking graph. There's no y-axis.



I thought Sony won E3 so it makes sense to me.



Can we just take a minute to talk about how bad the graph is? I can't differentiate Nintendo from Bethesda or Microsoft from Ubisoft and as someone pointed out there is no y axis...



This makes much more sense.

Those 3 are the games I kept seeing people posting about and trending for days.
(also Forza)
