5. The Sony Vs Microsoft War Is Kicked Up A Notch
There's a lot of bad blood between Sony and Microsoft...wait a sec...Let's have a look at that statement. Is there really? I prefer to think that Sony and Microsoft have a nice sibling rivalry. Sony used this rivalry to full effect at E3 providing light-hearted jabs at Microsoft's E3 presence. Sony Gamescom provided fuel for the fire, but it was mostly just about the core gamer. It didn't ultimately try to one up Microsoft, but it also seemed aware that there is direct competition. Sony smashed it at E3 by announcing that PS4 will by $100 less than Xbox One. PS4 had a lot of presence at Gamescom, with an unbelievably long list of new releases (see further along in this list) and announcements. Sony had a strong showing, and promised that they were going to follow through on all the promises they made at E3 2013.
