we also tend to make alot of different threads for ps announcements that spread out discussion.   doesnt happen as much for ms
That doesn't affect the live view thread though, most of the posts are during the show.
Last year's had a lot to do with Scorpio being announced and the speculation surrounding it. This year we know everything about it now. It will be an irrelevant topic for us soon enough. At least, I'm fairly confident. Unless Kerotan wants to rant. :P
Well the MS thread posts stayed almost constant to this year, the difference for the Sony thread to be bigger this time is for the Sony thread to have a huge post number increase. Maybe that will happen with a longer show.

I was waiting for the big hitting announcement but there wasn't one. The best games they showed were muliplatform. A few nice looking indies but nothing to get excited over. The biggest cheer was for Xbox BC which is a neat addition but nothing game changing.
considering this was to sell their new console it was possibly one of their worst conferences ever. terrible price tag and fudge all good exclusives.

Exactly. I was just about to say this. People on GAF and Reddit were talking about 2017 as if this was the year we start seeing "the fruits of Phil's labor" in regards to games. Like, as if he was going to come out and announce a bunch of new studios with a bunch of exclusive first-party titles in development. Once again, they're left with him repeating the same old lines and using buzzwords to gloss over the fact that he doesn't have jack shame to sell them. His legacy at this point is nothing more than deconstructing what Mattrick built and signing timed exclusivity deals with third-party companies while allowing first-party to shrink into a shadow of itself and spitting out aging franchises on a constant basis as if Activision is a great model to follow.
well said. phil "smoke and mirrors" spencer. we all wanted to fall for the hype, but in the end there was nothing there. Crackdown and sea of thieves look like pure AAA shame. If they were classed as indies i'd give them a thumbs up. can't believe yet another forza is their years highlight.

Fair. The competiton is on this year! If Sony fill a full 90 minutes this year, instead of 75 then there's a good chance that thread will win.

This is an odd conference to judge.

Exclusive announcements:
Forza 7
Ori 2
Super Lucky's Tale

That's a horrible list and by far the worst XBOX has ever had. Literally just by the numbers, it's horrible. I did the math!

Also the already announced exclusives didn't have the best showings either:
Crackdown looks lower budget and only teased stuff.
State of Decay 2 looks even lower budget with bad graphics, but at least kinda fun.
Sea of Thieves was fun but showed the same stuff we've already seen.


Lots of misses with the indies too. I swear a lot of those trailers were old.

Still though, lots of those indies looked awesome! AC, Mordor, and Anthem looked good too. OG XBOX BC is also nice.

But at the same time, XBonX reveal was trash. You can't have a console that expensive and graphics focused without showing software to push it.

It's a superposition of 3/10 and 8/10 simultaneously.

TLDR:
Spoiler for Hidden:

Call me a fanboy but that conference was an absolute borefest.

Only game that even slightly interested me were Anthem and AC Origin.

5/10 conference.
Legend made me remove this. Everybody riot.
