I've actually been impressed with what I little I seen when it came to Sony's presentation. There certainly wasn't much when it comes to games(and those bad speakers), but I felt as though it spoke to investors, gamers and most importantly: the developers. For MS, I had no idea who they were trying to sell thier console to aside from CoD fans(which is fine in itself).
I'm imagine a board room meeting going something like this
fadoraguy1: Motion controls have failed! Look at Nintendo and Sony. What do we do?
fadoraguy2: We certainly can't sell with Kinect. People want more
fadoraguy1: What do people want!?
fadoraguy3: This is boring. I wanna go home and watch TV.
fadoraguy2: No you can't go home, we gotta… wait. Say that I again!
fadoraguy3: This is bor-
fadoraguy2: No! The last part!
fadoraguy3: home and...
fadoraguy2: home and....
fadoraguy3: watch... TV?
fadoraguy2: WATCH TV!
fadoraguy3: I can go and watch TV?
fadoraguy2: No! People watch TV!
fadoraguy1: People want... TV! This is it!
fadoraguy3: I don't get it.
It's almost kind of embarrassing that this was their niche throughout most of the presentation. I'm still waiting for E3, but so far? I wasn't intending on buying an Xbox ever again, so I'm not sure how fair it is for me to criticize Microsoft any further. They deserve it, right? I mean, I don't swear by console brand loyalty, but damn. It's kinda hard not to at this point.
