So - basicly... what did Sony did this year at E3?
They announced a new pricing for a (new) PlayStation 3 80GB-model, which is a significant drop probably stressing Microsoft just right to make them cut prices a little bit further. But what more did they do?
They announced God of War 3.
And... delays, delays, delays. Nothing concrete, just promises and "in-the-future" talk. Very little actual gameplay and more of pre-rendered trailers or simple cinematics. Nothing to get excited about.
This while Microsoft announced alot of things making the Xbox360 feel more fresh than ever. Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Halo Wars - just three of the games being presented in various forms showing great potential. Not to mention Microsoft getting hands on the new Final Fantasy game simply putting the crowd shouting (as in a good way). And while Sony promises their HOME functions since the day PlayStation 3 was announced Microsoft just recently announced their new Dashboard with alot more features and services coming free in just a few months. They also announced a in-U.S. price-drop on the Premium Xbox360 bundle and a new Premium standard with a harddrive at 60GB instead of 20GB found on current systems and a price-drop on the 120GB-harddrive price.
While Microsoft might didn't make a price-drop worth talking about when comparing it to the price-drop Sony made I still believe Microsoft still had more for the actual costumers instead of promising stuff for the future costumers.
