Sony Dunks On Microsoft (Sony Press Conference E3 2013) - Steve Watts, Associate Editor

We've come a long way since E3 press conferences were dull affairs filled with sales figures and charts, but for the most part the presentations from platform holders are polite, non-confrontational affairs. That wasn't the case in 2013, the last time Microsoft and Sony were primed for a head-to-head outlining their dueling visions for the next generation. Microsoft had gone first, but it set the stage days earlier with a blog post clarifying rumors about its licensing policies on Xbox One. And sure enough, the rumors were largely true: aggressive DRM had been put in place that would allow publishers to require online checks, effectively killing used games.
