Last week it was Microsoft’s turn and the Xbox One was unveiled. We saw the console, the dashboard and many of its home entertainment functions, but Microsoft’s lack of consistent and concrete details offered to media in attendance regarding its always-online policies, used games and hardware, resulted in a PR nightmare of sorts, and Sony couldn’t be happier.

The visitors came into the match desperately needing a result, and while they emptied the tank keeping Argentina from totally pummeling Camilo Vargas’s net, Los Cafeteros were overwhelmed for most of the match. The first half was especially dominant from Argentina, with Angel Di Maria playing the Lionel Messi role.
