Who won E3 ? I'm going to give you a hint it starts with a P.

What is up people ?

Over the past couple of days we have seen some amazing content revealed by some of the biggest industries in the gaming business. The main events of E3 were the Xbox One and Playstation 4 conferences.

The Xbox event started it all off and I must say they did bring some new fresh ideas to the table. But I guess people weren't ready for such dramatic changes including me. But some were just plain stupid like charging people a fee for playing used games. I mean come on we have been doing that for years and suddenly its wrong ? I know Microsoft is a well known major company but lets remember who was in the gaming industry first Sony and this year they were determined to prove it. From the very start at the Playstation reveal the company made it very clear that they were going to do a console for games. They cared about what the gamers had to say and actually listened. Sony wanted to improve the players experience and  immerse them into the gaming world. Microsoft did the complete opposite and went on and did their own thing and acted like total big shots.


 From the second that Sony's CEO Jack Tretton walked onto the stage with a very laid back attitude you immediately knew who was going to be victorious at this years E3. Sony offered a very satisfying conference they gave us gamers everything that we could have ever hoped for and more. Throughout the whole conference Sony teased us with amazing exclusive content and stunningly beautiful graphics but the one that put  the last nail in Microsoft's coffin was the price. Microsoft's Xbox one will be available for 499.99 euros. Sony's Playstation 4 will be available for the amazing price of 399.99 euros. Now as you may recall when the PS3 and the 360 first launched the 360 was cheaper than the PS3 now the tables have turned and no doubt that Microsoft have lost a wide range of potential customers.

Playstation also does allow used games to be past on from you to a friend. Microsoft if you don't understand this check out this video it will make a lot more sense. How to share games :-). To me the idea of being connected to the internet all the time was complete bulls**t

So there you have it people it is a clear and obvious win for Sony's Playstation 4. Microsoft tried to do something different and original and I do respect them for that but if the whole gaming community isn't feeling it well then why go ahead with it. 

Tell me what you people think and what are your thoughts on this years E3. I had a blast and I think it was a great example of where the gaming industries are heading and so far it's looking good.
