PS4 Reveal: 3 Guidelines Sony Must Follow To Avoid A Catastrophe

2. Keep The Flair To A Minimum, Just Get To The Point

As fellow WC contributor Curtis Dillon pointed out, Microsoft spared no expense dragging out Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams, Jon Jones, and a handful of other celebs to promote their new machine, whereas Sony's initial reveal was more direct, keeping true to a plan of minimizing the luxuries and focusing on promoting the new system itself.

Please, please, PLEASE continue to do this.

It's not necessarily detrimental to the reveal of a product to have some starpower flaunting your new product, but Microsoft spent far too much time attempting to wow the audience stick it to Nintendo and Sony (which HILARIOUSLY backfired) and instead only succeeded in confusing several of them, leading to Microsoft having to recant or further elaborate on several statements after the reveal had concluded, and in some cases, rumors are swirling that Microsoft will have to alter its system to deal with the flood of concerns regarding its policy on used games, as read here.

Sony, I shall make this short and sweet: if your reveal at E3 is less than spectacularly star-studded, but gives the consumers accurate information on what to expect from the new gaming system without making as as comically pessimistic (which the XBOX One reveal accomplished in stellar fashion), I for one will count your reveal as a success.
