E3 is never the ‘war’ that we in the press like to make out. The exception being E3 2013. That was the year Sony very much emerged as the victor.
The stage was set for a brutal murdering of its rival in LA and Sony seemed absolutely delighted to deliver successive knockout punches.
£349. That’s just £20 short of being a massive £100 cheaper than Xbox One. Cheaper, of course, despite being a more powerful games machine.
The price was just the icing on the cake, mind you. Sony’s real victory was the glee in which it declared (with absolute, blissful clarity) that PS4 will NOT be required to connect to Sony servers to operate and will NOT restrict pre-owned software. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/sony-...uccess/0117010
