Forums - Gaming Discussion - The winner of this E3

I watched all 3 conferences and there's only one thing I've got to say, Microsoft won this E3 easily. The final announcement was such a megaton hit that there was almost no way Nintendo or Sony could top it.

Nintendo presentation wasn't so bad if you forgive them for not showing any hardcore game but it didn't really go into the unexpected and most people (me the first) got disappointed.

Sony, unlike what many people think, had a lot of pressure as they had to show something worthy of usurping the Square-Enix announcement. I waited for more than 1 hour 30 and all I've seen is God of War 3 and MAG. I wasn't disappointed again and much more than with Nintendo.

That's why I think that after everything has been said and done, Microsoft won this E3 and the FFXIII announcement will remain the only thing for this E3 that people remember.

Who know who I really think won this E3?

The consumer!

Nah, just kidding, ha ha...



 

 

agreed, but i am not total disappointed with nin


i have to give it to them for having the most original items, shame i really dont care about them



 

As a RPG fan, I am very glad Microsoft, of all 3 companies, actually had RPGs to show - even outside of FFXIII!



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Probably Microsoft, but it was pretty awful until the very end. A ton of games we already knew about and a bunch of hijaked ideas.

 Nintendo's was "hey guys! Here are a bunch of casual games that you play with the add on you have to buy to make the Wii work like we said it would two years ago! Oh! And no storage!"

And I don't know if I can really say much about Sony's. I don't currently own a PS3 so it's harder to get me excited about what they showed.

Yup, they really had a solid and diverse lineup. There was casual stuff as well as hardcore stuff and not only shooters.

Honestly I don't think anyone won.

Microsoft's was abysmal outside of the megaton.

Nintendo's was underwhelming to say the least.

Sony's was almost as bad as Microsoft's (but not quite), but they at least solidified the fact that the PS3 is irrelevant to me now by announcing more shooters (thanks MS).

That's what I think as well but the megaton was there and we can't deny it!

TBH, Microsoft's conference was what I thought Nintendo's would be



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Microsoft definately won with the hardcore. Nintendo still won with the casual and will win over the mainstream press. To deny this is foolish.
