I think that we can all agree that we all expected more from E3 in general.

I'm not sure I did. New year, new format, and as far away from the next gen as possible. These are typically disappointing, and I have to think 2007 will be the most critical holiday of this generation. It's Nintendo chance to cement its position and, with the Big Three, show it can move traditional games, it's MS's chance to show it can be more than a hardcore console, and Sony's chance to show it is still relevant. Any one of them stumbles this holiday, and it will have serious ramifications next year and beyond. So everyone really sells 2007 (MS especially), but obviously we're more than halfway through 2007 so what's coming up is no suprise. The one company that really tried to push 2008 titles was Sony, and that's because their 2007 just can't compete with MS.

 I think this is very true.
