You give Ray Charles a bad name.
I feel like I've fallen into a bizarre parallel world where I had the pain of sitting through Sony's presser instead of the awesome one these guys saw.

No Mans Sky is exclusive to PC and PS4 right?
gotta leave something for gamescom
Don't devs actually tend to show off the PC version? Definitely was the case with stuff like far cry 3 in the recent years. Unless it is explicitly mentioned I wouldn't be surprised if many of those demos we saw at ms, ubi, ea, and Sony were PC versions.
Jesus wept..calm down people
The article is about press conferences..what Nintendo doing is NOT a press conference. Maybe Edge should have clarified it more or something? It was pretty obvious to me
They are primarily focusing on the two console manufacturers who did press conferences too which are MS and Sony.
I personally believe the impact is much different in those two approaches. But that's a topic for another thread, not this

They bought the 360 more because of it. They're buying the PS4 more because of it. They do.
For something you don't take seriously, you seem to be posting about it a lot.
really now? I guess they didn't watch the same conference that I did and Ninty yet to go and do their thing

Well I think some showed us more diversity and exclusives games... MS focused in Multiplatforms... that was my impression.
BTW from the Multiplatforms showed in both conference FarCry surprised me more.
PS. Sony conference had a 20 minutes of boring fest but the gaming content was really great.

Even Sony knows but doesn't care; console games don't care. Sony will always say their games look better on PS4 because their competition is XB1.

I just did discredit that. It's a non-victory. Console exclusive is a bulletpoint for console warriors, not for people who actually want to play the games.
No they didn't. See? This can go on all day.
EDGE getting them 'I believe in Phil Spencer' stickers already fuming in the AM, I see.
I don't think either next-gen console manufacturer won this E3. Just like last year and the year before, IMHO Ubisoft had the strongest showing.
A throughout entertaining show with great games and a perfect pacing. Microsoft's was good, too structured as they had CG trailer after CG trailer in the end for their 2015 and beyond-lineup and no real surprises.
Sony had a few megatons to drop (e.g. LBP 3 out of nowhere, Far Cry 4 co-op and dat white PS4), but almost ruined their overall still good showing with the middle part,
where they completely drifted off to TV, TV, POWERS, shit talk. If they'd cut that out or shortened it to minimum, their press conference would have been the best of the decade.
Apart from those 30 minutes of horror their pacing was real good and their end was well as well. Heh.
Overall, I'd give the following grades:
Microsoft: B- (good show, but CG trailers and PC gameplay for Division/Witcher -.-)
EA: E (I don't think, we have to argue about that one, lol)
Ubisoft: A (no low-points and Aisha Tyler, pacing was perfect and they have the greatest games)
Sony: B+ (Strip that 30 minutes of horrific sute talk and we have ourselves a solid A as well)
So out of the two console manufacturers, yes, Sony won. They had more games, more gameplay and also a broader array of genres.
Nintendo do their own little thing, where they're not competing with the rest of the bunch. We'll see what they have planned out for their clap-lacking Direct today.

Haha, of course I do. I'm not trying to be a fanboy, it was just a bad show. There were no major surprises, Shawn Layden and Bendis talked about nothing for 30 minutes, then there was some cool Batman stuff. Uncharted 4 teaser wasn't even good, it was just... something.

I agree. Just because it wasn't a blantantly choreographed playthrough like The Division, Far Cry 4, or Titanfall people think it is clumsy and boring. I appreciate the authenticity of a real playthrough, mistakes and all.
I felt the exact opposite. Andrew's presentation somehow irks me, was relieved when Shawn began to talk.
It would've helped if i hadn't seen more of the game from 3 shitty leaked webM, than on Sony's Press conference.
A CGi trailer for that game was probably the thing that pissed me off the most.
It's probably gonna be a stellar game, but it wasn't this conference to solidify that fact, just my confidence in Miyazaki.
So yeah, before i was sure PS4 was the console to prioritize, now i'm not so sure.
Especially since i have a gaming PC.
oh come on. The conference only took a dive when the CEO of Sony of America took the stage. Before and after it, it completely one upped microsoft's.

We also live in an age where social media is king. Im sure news will continue to circulate on the intrawebs that one console gets the better looking games even if the casuals dont understand what to look for.
yes i dont support ..who lick balls ..as u ...seem
I don't know if you're trolling, or if that's your actual opinion, but holy hell do I disagree with it in almost every way regardless.
Not the same Edge I used to read, which had a love of games and passion for the industry. Console wars stuff is fun on a forum of fans but has no place in journalism. That article praising the Sony conference for things they then begrudgingly were relieved was not in the Xbox conference, TV and entertainment, was pathetic. More sad that it was the same writer.
The persecution is strong with this one. I imagine people will be whining about the media's perceiving of Sony winning for the next few days, but the MS fans will get over it.
I think he said something like "console debut" so most likely timed exclusive
Oh man this is just sad
how can ppl support an article like that...cmon leeroy....who have watched both conference..know that there isnt a victory...and is just stupid to claim it
i understand opinions....but really

Shawn Layden was terrible. It would be in their best interests to keep that guy behind closed doors.
It's certainly click bait which all media is guilty of but you proposing a Sony bias is just a bit ludicrous if you have been reading Edge for a long time

On reflection the Sony conference was solid but for me no system seller however next year looks brilliant for everyone.

I don't see what's the harm in free crossovers that impact anyone or anything. It's just a neat 'nod'. That TV show thing was by far the worst thing I saw yesterday, it wouldn't have been so bad if they had a trailer or something for the show ... but concept art? Please.
That's when I almost fell asleep (no lie, I started to struggle around then - long day.)

Presentation-wise, Sony was a mess to me. The new guy was pretty bad, lots of small mistakes during the presentation, people giving speeches seemed not too confident about what they were talking...
Aisha was excellent and looked like she actually having fun, as for games, Ubisoft had the BEST trailers, not necessarily the 'best' games
A white ps4 is a "megaton"?

This, I was at one of the theater showings and LBP3 got one of the biggest reactions. People were laughing and cheering, it was an authentic moment and that is rare at these types of things.

If they aren't competing with the PC, then yes it is a victory. Having a visual competitive edge over your direct competition matters to some extent. PC gaming didn't shrink Sonys market share last gen. It was the Xbox 360.

Games are what matter and Sony absolutely eclipsed MSFT and handily.
Reposting:
I don't see how anybody could say with a straight face that Sony 'outclassed' MS even when they weren't making me want to claw at my skin from boredom. I would put them on squarely even footing.

Now you are just being obnoxious.
If you don't care about Edge then don't post here. I know I don't care about them, I only know their views because you posted it here.

They said it will make it's "console debut" on PS4, meaning timed exclusive.
He's just channeling his inner TheKayle, lol.
but he had such a nice suit on
calling a magazine who has been for two whole generations in love with microsoft, biased towards sony is fucking comedy.
You're entitled to your opinion. Be warned that everyone will laugh at it with good reason.
