3DS and Natal will be the big talking points of E3, so either Nintendo or Microsoft will take the most hype from E3. That's my definition of 'winning' as the amount something is talked about can be measured, whereas satisfaction with a conference itself is difficult to actually get a figure for.

Pretty much agreed.  I expect MS/Natal to win over the "industry press" thanks to their unparalleled stagecraft, PR and pandering.

Sony is going to come in last I think though.  Unless they have something legitimately new and big (PSP2?), I just don't think Move with it's casual knock-offs, and a bunch of PS3 sequels to lukewarm series (Killzone, inFamous, Resistance, LBP) can really push them over Natal/slim or 3DS/Zelda.

June couldn't come soon enough. I can't wait to see everyones face when Nintendo gets shown up....................................................again. You guys must think the Move is a joke.

I don't think it's a joke, but it's too late and it's lineup is purely derivative.  There's just no excitement there, no mystery, no "new".

Nintendo and Microsoft will also probably have lukewarm sequels for their faithful (Pikmin 3?  Perfect Dark 2?) and few boutique surprises (The Last Story seems to fit here) but Natal, 3DS and Zelda will be HUGE unveilings.  Obviously it's early, but we haven't really heard of anything on that scale for Sony yet (though I think PSP2 is getting more and more likely).

They are just starting up the motion controls. Nintendo went through the same thing. We all enjoyed it in the beginning...it became lackluster for somewhere though. The capabilities the move has, plus the camera and power of the PS3 is the selling point ontop of the capability for their still to be hardcore titles with a grade from normal controls to motion.

I'm not saying potential isn't there, but that's not what we've been shown.  We've been shown an ugly knockoff of Wii Sports made by the Eyetoy team (lol), an ugly party/gameshow/dressup mishmash from the Eyetoy team (lolx2), a laggy railgunner from the Buzz Junior team (lolx3), a predictably weird office-lady-in rolling-chair-evading-the-Yakuza thing from Japan Studio, a last second optional control scheme for SOCOM4 and promised hacked-in support for older games (LBP, RE5, flower, etc).  Nothing new, nothing exciting... Sony tried selling the PS3 on "potential" originally too, it didn't work out all that well for them... who knows, maybe they'll bring it for E3, but this far the lineup is just laughably bad.

And this is almost the opposite of Wii's roll out.  That had casual fare like Wii Sports/Play obviously (and back in 2006, that actually did feel "new"), but it also had Nintendo standards like Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Wario/FE/etc and 20+ 3rd party games.



Ack, wtf!!?? ;_;



You broke the internet. Good going kind sir.

Why not wait UNTIL they make their shows, THEN discuss this? Discussing things before having any information holds absolute zero value.

Because the majority of people who use phrases like 'X won E3' and 'X had the best show' have already decided who 'won' before E3 even happened.  As is evident by the majority of posts in this thread.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

 

  

I think they're keeping the Wii 2 a surprise for E3.
