E3 2013: What Did Viewers Think of Sony's Conference?

Sony's presentation started off late, ensuring a rocky beginning and some irritated viewers. It preceded to take its time to cover non-gaming entertainment, punctuated by game freezes and promising new titles like The Order: 1886. Sony strategically dropped a bombshell for the end of their presentation (which seems to be working, given that 84% of you think that Sony is winning E3). This yielded some interesting trends in sentiments as the conference progressed:

Fashionably Late?

@ign WTF? Great way to start the conference late like the last console cycle.

That PS4 Design Looks Familiar...

@ign @playstation is that an Xbox one? #e3

— Jamie's Teeth (@JamC11190) June 11, 2013

@ign Do you think people will hate on the PS4 for looking like a VCR as well? New gen is very similar, IMHO#E3

— Kyle Williams (@OHHKyle) June 11, 2013

@ign @aegies #E3 #PS4 at least this one can stand upright… right?

— Sean Godde (@Rdot89) June 11, 2013

@ign don't you guys think that someone just clicked the italics button on the #xboxone to create the #playstation4? Jussayin.

— Troy Agayan (@delikz143) June 11, 2013

@ign did IKEA design the PS4?

— Erik Hover (@EchMo35) June 11, 2013

@ign PS4 design concerns me in regards to it's ability to stay cool.

— Dad the Impaler (@JJHoalt) June 11, 2013

The #PS4 looks pretty bad. Like two ps2's glued together.@ign#e3

— Michael Khalilian (@M_Khalilian) June 11, 2013

Sony Pulls a Microsoft

Sony is taking a page from Microsoft and giving us video games systems that play TV shows. #WTF #E3 @ign

— NebueR (@NebueRRehtul) June 11, 2013

No #ps4 games yet. Show the box then bring out the entertainment stuff #E3 @ign#sony dropping the gaming ball? @gameovergreggy

— Paul Butler (@TheRealPButler) June 11, 2013

— Sean Lonergan (@Seanergan) June 11, 2013

@ign Why are they talking so much about TV....come on Sony I'm tired #E3

— Alexandra Mushka (@MushkA1123) June 11, 2013

@ign I'm not hating on Sony, but maybe they should've done something like Microsoft and get all the non gaming stuff out of the way

— RecklessJordan (@JordanUmaguing) June 11, 2013

@ign I am glad that Microsoft got the boring TV stuff done at the reveal, and left the good stuff for E3.

— Matthew Kenealy (@MatthewKenealy) June 11, 2013

@ignseriously, did it go down like this, Microsoft:"we'll botch our reveal if you botch your E3 press conference" Sony:"Deal!!!"

— Dylan Vance (@vancepants7) June 11, 2013

#Sony #E3 stop bloody talking and show the games! 2.50am now very tired @ign

— Paul Butler (@TheRealPButler) June 11, 2013

Dwindling Patience

@ign Can you tell Sony to hurry up and show the Destiny gameplay, I want to eat dinner #e32013 #MondayMunchies

— Nick Elsberry (@BerryNotBree) June 11, 2013

@ign Sony coming off a little boring, nothing unexpected. maybe that’s what works for them. But Xbox won this #E3 in my mind.

— Sean Holt (@DodgerFan_Sean) June 11, 2013

@ign #E3 Sony show marred by glitches, the boring parts Microsoft burned thru last month, and making us East Coasters too tired for #Destiny
