So... What are my thoughts about this year's E3?

Hello! Any feedback is more than welcome!
It was fantastic. I've to say, there is nothing more satisfying than staying at home for two days and watch 5 different live-conferences from names like: EA, Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Sony. Besides the skittles (my favorite candy btw), the energy drink (after all the Bethesda conference happened a little too late in my local hour) and the series of junk food... The only thing that I missed was a diaper... However, I'm saving money for a very good reason.
And like I've said before... I'm still not sure if I'm going to get a Xbox One or a PS4 (even through I'm really looking forward to Microsoft since I've never had a "Direct X-Box")... However it was a pleasure and a relief to know that neither Sony or Microsoft will be releasing exclusive games for Xbox One (Slim and Scorpio) and PS4 NEO, which basically means... That I can spend my money on a new console by now and I will not be left behind by either of those developers!
The games? Well... Sony impressed me a lot, like always! However, besides God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding... There isn't much fro Sony conference that I want to play... A great majority of those games are (thankfully) multi-platforms... Which means that they will be released for other consoles.
Play Station VR? Sorry guys... Brazil is on the middle of a economic crisis... And is already hard to buy a video-game console at a affordable price... And then Sony announces an accessory with the price of PS4 at it's release? That's insane! Specially to Brazil. I would totally import... BUT we got taxes for that too... Pretty high taxes...
With that said I don't mind in getting a VCR... I- I- I- I mean... A Xbox One for play during July. After all, still a pretty good console. Microsoft also established the end of gaming console's generations and exclusivity... Since the majority of Xbox exclusives where inputted into the "Play anywhere" program... Where these games will also work at Windows 10.
That is great for the gamers, and a huge step to compete with the growing mobile gaming market.
Unfortunately, I don't think that Sony will do the same thing... Which is sad. Anyway, we got to have patience... Because if there is one thing for sure the console gaming market is changing in a historical level! And I'm glad to be, somehow, part of it.
I hope the end of this month comes soon!
