Ah, but an RTX3060 is most likely gonna cost $250 if we're being really optimistic(my money's on $300). Add to that a competent CPU, SDD, and all the other bells and whistles and I don't think you'll get by paying less than $1000. PS+ and XBL kind of justify their cost these days with all the "free" games. Although you do get the same perks actually free on PC with all the Ubi, EA, and Epic giveaways, so I have to agree with you there. When it comes to big titles, though, I haven't really been seeing better deals on PC than I have on consoles recently, so I don't think there's much of a price advantage for games on PC anymore.

Plus, even if buying both consoles costs more than one gaming PC, you still get access to all of Sony's first party games, and Xbox will play pretty much anything else you'd play on PC, unless you're into strategy games. It's a better deal, imo. Unless, of course, you actually prefer some of the unique things gaming on PC brings to the table. But you're right, it's always good to have options. Personally, if I had to choose, I'd still go with PC over console.

Yes,MS decided that. No one else did. Peoples excitement was not put on hold until july. While sure, if total amount was the best indicator, then MS was the winer from may to june, now sony from june to mybe june and if ms shows more that event what? they win until the rumored august event from sony? then what MS announces another? It will never end. Its why an event exited people during the vent and whats shown in it, anything before does not add to the exciment. 

On your second point, thats totally fine. Everyone has different taste and cant be refuted. For me its the oposite, ratchet and clank is one of my favorite franchises and horizon is also awesome. 

I dint. He did. Because thats the nature of the event. Its like previous E3's. COD got showend like 4 times and nobody cared. One of them decided to not show it while it will still be playeable day one on their platform and sudenly everybody looses their mind. What is shown in one event does not build exitement on another event. This could bbe the first time said game is shown. There could be people who wont bother watchhing all the shows. There could be some that waited, then got told is trash and decided to skip it therefore will miss certain games only seen on that event. Not saying that you forget a game, but if your comparing 2 events toghether, adding another from the past does not make it better. 

People that are loyalists to either side won't really be persuaded. The only way to declare who is a winner is whoever gets more of the open minded people to buy their device. I did not own a PS4 or Xbox One, as I have a PC. But due to my computer being in a separate room from my big TV, the fact that I want to be with my family when I game, and the fact that my desktop has some parts in it that are starting to age (ones not easily replaced like motherboard), means I will probably get a Series X or PS5 this gen.

So, as one of those on the fence guys, I'd say unless MS screws up they have it in the bag for me. I'm not interested in ports of games, or games announced that aren't even coming out for years, or a dlc version of Spiderman. What new, AAA games were announced by Sony to launch with the system, or at least in the launch window?

I'd like to see a comparison of launch window games between Xbox Series X and Ps5. Only games that are brand new and AAA or AA budget. Not ports, or dlc versions of last gen games, or first party budget games. I'm talking in the first 4 months who has the most big games coming? Genuine question. Still on the fence, but leaning towards Series X. And my goodness does that Ps5 design stick out in a bad way. The thing looks like it's meant for a bachelor pad and not for a married husband and father with a non futuristic aesthetic for home decor. That design will clash with everything lol.

Well that would change everything then. But if that is the case and I miss interpret that, you have to see it from my point of view, the title of the thread is basically conference vs conference, Me making that assumption is only natural. 

I hope one presentation is not enough to doom a console. I would hate to think us gamers are so fragile and unforgiving that a single showing would make us turn our backs on something. 

I have to disagree with the last part. If they say next gen gameplay and dont deliver any next gen gameplay or even next gen games, then thats way more than not meeting expectations, that is basicly lying. 

Infinite undiscovery remake or 2 would be hilarious

I think I'm already biased bcuz I'm already more excited about XSX. But like I said in another thread, the problem with MS's approach is that they've been dropping their information little by little. I mean, they have already announced Halo, Hellblade 2, Everwild, Flight Simulator, Gears Tactics, Scorn, The Medium and The Ascent. That is eight games already announced, there is no way they will be able to match the number of exclusives in Sony's presentation.

I was really underwhelmed by Sony's conference and that's coming from a lifetime PS fan. If they bring in some really cool exclusives, maybe a revival of a beloved franchise or two (outside of MS's stable), they could really put some pressure on Sony.

OP asks about one conference beating another and you want to put 2 conferences to beat one that doesn`t really make any sense at all.

Halo 5 sold 5 million units...the series doesn't carry the clout it once did, alone with Forza I don't know that it can kill the PS5  hype the way things are  going. My hand would tremble if some footage of the game Fable "Reboot"  is showed, I loved Fable 2. I used to love Halo too but hasn't been the same since Bungie left.
