Well, while I partially agree with you, it just depends of people. On PS or Nintendo or Xbox there are retared fanboys who'd do anything and say any shit to defend "their brand". Like some people shitted on Hellblade while it was console exclusive on PS4 and when it came on Xbox and worst when MS acquired Ninja Theory, it became a masterpiece.
you need to stick around more if you think adamsapple is someone who just has a ps5 and prefers to play games on xbox. He's got a tag for a reason. The problem with it is the concept of 'poisoning the well'. Xbox fans in media and gaming forums have injected toxic negativity towards playstation and those memes have inculcated a permanently critical mindset that now dominates the discourse. Sony isn't perfect, Playstation isn't perfect. But you'd think that they had absolutely zero games based on how people talk, even people who say they're Playstation fans. As someone who is a PC gamer main, it's honestly baffling. Even PS fans seem like they are constantly grasping for more console war ammo like they're out of water in the Sahara desert when the war is already over, and Sony/Nintendo are the last ones standing. There are plenty of high quality games that are only on PS, or PS/PC. And most of the people who are complaining aren't going to play on PC. It's honestly baffling. I have complaints about the Sony corporate leadership prioritizing short term profits over long term growth, but you'd think that PS was going to go out of business with the way people talk about it.
Sony does play too nice with people who have made it clear they're going to be antagonistic to them. I don't know if it's because Sony's being naive, or because their marketing department are asleep at the wheel. Regardless if I tune out the chatter, I can't lie and say I am not having a good generation on PS5. Maybe someone who only likes naughty dog games can say that, but thankfully I'm not someone like that.
If you honestly think this then you must have watched like five of them, total. There was a Switch partner direct back in, I think, 2019 that showed off a Bakugan game and nothing else. There was the Xbox One reveal showcase which dedicated only one segment to a single game and that game was Madden. There was a Microsoft showcase a few months ago where the only thing showcased was that four of their games were going to Playstation.
A partner direct is not a gaming showcase lmao... and no the Xbox One reveal had more than just Madden. It also had Quantum Break which was better than anything (new) shown at the PlayStation 2023 showcase
If you just wanted it to be E3 conference equivalents then you should have stated as much. And, having just looked up what was in the PS 2024 showcase I can firmly state that you are high as fuck if you think that was the "worst showcase ever". It had trailers for Spiderman and FF16 and the reveal of four GaaS- at least one of which (Helldivers) turned out to be the most important release so far this year regardless of platform. For those who have forgotten, this is what he's complaining about. And let me tell you, that god damn laps a lot of conferences. Its certainly better than any games showcase Nintendo has put out this year, its far better than the Wii U reveal event. Far better than the Xbox One reveal event (Quantum Break is so forgettable that I am on its Wikipedia page reading about it right now and I still don't know what it is,) far better than Nintendo's 2020 event where they announced... uhhh... straight ports of 3 old Mario games for 60 dollars.
You don't even know what Quantum Break is?
You need to get out of your little Nintendo bubble more often bro. And why are you ignoring the part where I said NEW reveals....? FF16 and Spider-Man 2 were already revealed before that showcase, extra footage isn't noteworthy when we were already sold on it. 
That showcase was the first PlayStation showcase in 18 months, the expectations were through the roof and for good reason. And it completely failed to deliver in a major way, an extreme disappointment. Go look at the IconEra thread...even the biggest fans in here were disappointed with it. You're not a PS fan so I don't expect you to understand how important that showcase was...but it was, and we're still feeling the rippling effects of it to this day. and just proves my point that it WAS the WORST SHOWCASE IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY!!!!

It announced the launch of a game that sold 12 million copies in 3 months, clearly a massive success. And three other games that haven't released yet. I don't play online modes very often and wouldn't pick up any of the titles even if free but its ridiculous of you to discount that many games, one of which is from one of the best western studios of all time, before they even launch.You don't even know what Quantum Break is?
Another thing, you're completely ignoring context and expectations. The only one that's high is you. No one has crazy expectations for a damn partner direct
Look at the excitement through out the first 12 pages of the thread and then the utter disappointment in the latter 10 pages, the stark contrast is actually hilarious
