Anyone who expects serious gameplay footage off of a launch conference focused on the hardware and the platform is delirious and has no room to complain.

I thought a lot of the things in the conference were really good. The multitasking aspect of the One is pretty much where gaming technology is going to go, blurring the line between console and computer even further. No one purchases a phone that's just a phone anymore, and video games have been following that trend just like everything in technology has. Microsoft jumped on the industry hot topics.

There was a bit too much fluff (like the Halo television series) for a conference as short as this one for my tastes, but Microsoft is also preparing for the more content-focused E3 conference soon, which vindicates them in this regard for me.

I got what I expected from this conference. Could have been worse. I don't see anything that would convince me to buy a One just yet, but E3's content conference could change that.
