I am at the airport waiting for my plane, and since there is free WiFi (and surprisingly fast on top of that), I naturally check my Twitter feed. Well, obviously, something just happened at E3, and the conclusion seems pretty clear. Here is an excerpt:

Sony is kind of humiliating MS today..

Did you all hear that? That was the sound of Sony winning the next gen war pre-emptively.

Double the power, no game authentication, no region locking, no online requirement, used games, $100 less than the Xbone. #gameover #PS3 #E3

I get the impression from Twitter that Sony’s presentation went a little better than Microsoft’s or something

So, Sony pulled off better hardware, at a cheaper price, with no crazy DRM lockdown.I know what I’m buying.

To any objective measure, Sony won. They had to, and they did.
