What the freaking hell? I had to check the date on the first posts because this feels like something that could have been dated from almost exactly this time in 2013. Unfortunately not. Same immediate reactions, too, like "who'll pay for..." and "better come with Gold", includes the Halo and Spielberg name drops. I'll assume others got the same deja vu. So really we're back to press on TV! TV...you know what, screw it.
If they still want to go through with this stuff despite all the flack they got from it the first time and not getting the sales results they wanted versus Sony in the US (to say nothing of globally), let them. If they think this is a wise thing to re-announce after publicly re-committing themselves to "games, games, games", fine. That whole "let the market speak" or whatever. Please tell me this all has a separate budget and it's not taking money away from first-party game development. There'll be extreme backlash (again) if we get TV announcements at E3 or even some kind of accidental hint that games aren't the overwhelming focus. If Sony goes on such a tangent I'd expect the same.
Sad that the Atari landfill thing is just a TV promo gimmick. At least that explains why they're spending money on something so silly.
