IGN UK said Nintendo won E3 so they agree with you, I agree as well.
In all honesty I see similar reactions with WiiU and the original DS, essentially WiiU is like a DS in your living room, your TV is the top screen the screen in your hands is the bottom touch screen, and it seems to confuse the hell out of people that see it, unless you've got some imagination about out, and all you think up is the different possibilities. That was the same process DS went through, core Nintendo fans going wtf? Non Nintendo fans going Nintendo just screwed themselves, and people that look for new experiences in gaming seem to imagine all the neat things you could do with it (I personally fit into the last group, I've got similar friends, and we were pretty much running wild with ideas after the conference)
And the above reasons is what actually sold me on PS Vita as well... not the console doing anything really new, it's LBP on Vita doing some really cool things, and I MUST HAVE IT!
