Ok, E3 presentations are over. Who won?

Nintendo obviously, but Square was a comfortable second.

MAJOR points go to any conference where half of it isn't some rando on stage spouting ten minutes of corporate speak about "we strive to deliver innovate experiences with incredible worlds, compelling characters..." etc. bullshit that literally no one wants to hear. Just shut up and announce games and possibly go into detail. 

Microsoft was better than usual (not saying much though, to be honest), but the biggest takeaway was a bunch of games that Microsoft pretended are exclusives and another console is coming that's just more of the same with a launch title that's the sixth installment in a series that's fallen from grace without the developer that made the series good involved. Meh as per usual.

I genuinely feel the Nintendo model of "Hi, I'm an important Nintendo guy. Welcome. Now here's a montage of a bunch of stuff you want" E3 is the future (though quick, silly prerecorded videos with Nintendo's signature humor never hurt anyone) and I think Sony and to some degree Square Enix saw the writing on the wall with that. On top of all that it's just breeding ground for awkward memes.
