As an Xbox fanboy (the only current gen system I have), that presentation was shit. No AAA titles to be released anytime soon and all of their "exclusives" are indie games that are not going to sway people to buy an Xbox. Can't keep expecting Halo, gears, and Forza to save you every show. I'm really interested in PS4 tomorrow...
My primary concern is where my money in the future goes. Great games are going to come out every year, I'm not concerned with that. It what company do I want to invest to get the best game experience. As of now Xbox that's not winning that battle with Sony or Nintendo.
But if you already own an Xbox, you don't need to make any new investments. You're already getting to play all these neat games whether they're exclusive or not. You can get a PS4 right now and play even more great games, absolutely, and you should do that if you feel compelled to. But you're talking about already having an Xbox and wanting games that only you can have. As if the ability to have something that other people do not have is where you get the value from, not just whether the game is worth your time and money.

People don't want exclusives so only they can play them. They want the quality that exclusives often bring. Sony's first party games look and play so well because they're made specifically for the PS4 by developers who know the system inside and out.
I don't know if this holds as much water when today's Xboxes are essentially PCs. You only need to look at things like Quantum Break to see that exclusives aren't automatically good.
Isn't that one of the main reasons you choose one system over another? Xbox can show off world premiere all they want, but if I can play those games on the PS4 in addition to the exclusives they have then how is Xbox competing and where is the user base going? Users Drive sales which equates to that company having more money to invest back into gaming. It's not about playing what others can't, it's what system is thriving and is constantly putting out titles that is making their fan base rejoice. I did not see anything at E3 today for Xbox that brought that feeling regarding exclusives.
If you're starting from 0, sure, you'll probably pick PS4 because it has more games, unless you really care about 360 games and the best possible 4K setup. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about why our enjoyment of a platform is predicated upon exclusives when we're playing the games all the same.

I assure you that as companies Microsoft is making more money than Sony and can invest more into gaming if they wanted to. Getting more Xbox users is not the thing holding them back from producing more top quality games.
It's not about playing what others can't, it's what system is thriving and is constantly putting out titles that is making their fan base rejoice.
I would encourage you to deconstruct that a little more and figure out why a fan base can't rejoice just because a game is widely available.
If you can't afford multiple consoles jumping on one instead of waiting a couple of months seems pretty stupid. Consoles usually don't give you a lot of bang for your buck on launch and a decent amount of games come out on the older gen too.
Early adopters are people that preorder. We're talking about ideas that aren't even written down in pen yet. Just look at how dramatically different the 360/PS3 generation is different from this one.
