I was going to say Sony did everything but spike the football on Microsoft....

Nope. That football is thoroughly spiked.
They are going to write business school classes on how Microsoft screwed this up.
New Kingdom Hearts game.
New Final Fantasy (Ok, a revamped Final Fantasy Versus game as a new Final Fantasy game)
Drive Club, Kill Zone, Knack as launch titles
Exclusive items for Diablo 3 (rolls eyes)
The Order: 1866
Bastion follow up..
But the two biggest items coming out of it:
Price $399
No Used Games restrictions.
As my friend John put it: "You know when someone just lays a verbal smackdown of epic proportions that they just stop, drop the microphone and walk away, and the other person can't even pick the mic up to get back at them? Sony just dropped the mic, walked away and had the gamers chanting "Sony! Sony! Sony!"
Was it perfect? No, it looks like PS+ will be necessary to play games online.
But when it comes to who the victor at E3 was? Or who is likely to win the first 18-24 months of the next-gen war? No doubt about it. Sony just blitzkrieged Microsoft.
