PlayStation Experience in my mind was a wild beast. Games aside, which I think had plenty to offer in all the genres, ranging from sports to RPG and FPS, I found the show on PlayStation 4 and the infrastructure that’s suppose to support it a technical mess. The same goes for PlayStation’s ability to deliver a keynote which many felt ended extremely awkward.  I wrote

  I’m not sure if Sony was thinking that Paragon was a mic drop type of game, but even if it was, you should still really end the show with a little more clarity.

Part of me can’t imagine that nobody thought of that and would like to think that something had to be cut at the very bleeding last second or that a page of the script was lost. Still, all it would have taken for the show to end properly was to have somebody from PlayStation, perhaps Shawn Layden (President & CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America), who kicked off the show, to take stage for just a minute, even as a complete improv to end things much more meaningfully. 

Well according to Shawn Layden, the show ended exactly how they wanted it. More on that after the jump.

 That ending, that closure from Epic for Paragon…In a typical show I do the opening and I do the closing. But that Paragon video is so powerful. I did not want to go on after that. You didn’t want me coming and saying, ‘Thank you for coming and please enjoy the games.’ Let that thing close it, that was drop the mic moment, that was fabulous. I am really happy with the guys at Epic and what [they] are going to bring to the PlayStation 4. 

I’m sorry but that’s just terrible. Either Sony is drinking too much of their own Kool-Aid or they need to hire some coaches to better train the executive team on how to plan and execute a keynote because an acknowledgement is exactly what people wanted. What a miss.

Did you find the show just came to an abrupt halt?
