First, gamers can agree that this E3 was hands down better then the previous E3. Going back to the old format was a good move. I mention this cause I don't want this to turn into a fanboy meltdown of "Who won E3!".

What I want to talk about is the number of articles being written that have the new Motion controls offerings from Microsoft & Sony as the pinnacles of E3, and how serious do you think these articles are, as these articles read as if these motion controls will be the norm instead of the alternative for these platform.

...To be frank here, but WhAt thE FuCk?!?1/!

I understand the bitterness that some columnist may have towards Nintendo and casual gaming, but I'm sorry this is just too much manure to take. Is it because this now opens the chance for previous Wii Exlcusives to be ported over to other platforms? One thing that is abundantly clear is casual gaming is making core gaming EVEN more of a niche then I previously thought. 

With motion controls now being considered the norm, the often repeated Nintendo "Something for Everyone" mantra carried thoroughout all 3 major conferences, and the largest cheers for the day coming from Sony's PSP Hanna Montana bundle announcement, I'd say so...

It simply is why you need to filter through your gaming news sources. Part of why I only look here and gamasutra.com for game news/info. The guys here do a pretty decent job of covering all bases without slander, and gamasutra is an industry source, no fanboyism allowed.

The bottom line is that everyone who doesn't like Nintendo wants them dead, because they feel threatened by the company and what it has to offer. Its sort of like a digital racism - once race feels threatened by another and try to keep them down and make them out to be awful, when everyone is all more alike than some care to admit.

In the end, the only thing you can do is promote a DNV list (Do Not Visit). Advertising keeps these sites running. Lack of hits/visitors will reduce adverisment revenue, and eventually close the site down or make them Pay subscriptions.

Don't worry, their ignorant rants only fall on the ears of the core market, which has already made its decision long ago. No matter if Sony or MS make the Jesus controller, its too late to recover against Nintendo.

Hypocrisy from journalists as well as posters then.

Right now there's only 2 gaming sites that I consider reliable: Gamasutra.com and Shacknews.com

The rest are mostly manure fest. IGN is one of the worst offenders as they make so many damn mistakes yet still have the nerve to consider themselves professionals. Unfortunately, VGChartz isn't better than IGN and just recently it was posted in the news several fallacies like FF14 and MGS: Rising being exclusives, when they aren't, and the recent TOP100 List was easily the worst top100 I've ever seen. But atleast VGChartz is slowly improving, while IGN isn't.

The thing is, though, many of these people who are hyping up these motion controls on Sony and MS consoles don't really care at all about these motion controls....their only concern is if these control inputs can put a damper and take out Nintendo and kick out the casuals from their hobbies, thus letting the video game market creep back into the depths of being a subculture that isn't popular.

- The 'fallacies' of FF14 and MGS: rising being were normal mistakes, made by live coverage which always, and anywhere, creates such mistakes. That's a consequence of live coverage. Then you mostly rely on one source, not two or three.

- That top 100 was chosen by the 'members' of VGchartz. It was not an objective list, not by the site staff. If such a thing is possible with games.

I think some of those posters are imposters.

I actually made a post, right before E3 started, talking about this:

It's funny I'm like you bardiverse, it's manly here and gamasutra that I read. =/

@ pakidan101: Good point cause to me the way both Sony & Microsoft basically showed beta versions of this tech says its more of a damper on the motion control issue then a complete solution.

...I personally think that none of this is going to come to fruitition until the next generation, which brings me to why I harp on Microsoft so bout buliding their first party up...

Got to go with Shio there.

Even discounting those live mistakes, stuff like putting a graph comparing the first 130 weeks of the Wii, the PS2 and others consoles and failing to mention the PS2 chart doesn't actually have 130 weeks data for NA and Others due to scattered released, doesn't help your credibility....
