| DKII said: I don't really get the backlash here. E3 is the one time during the year that the mainstream press pays attention to video games. Obviously then what you really most should be talking about is your casual lineup, since it's about the only time you can get that information out to the casual audience. Look at how huge it was for Wii Fit last year. Showcasing anything hardcore at E3 thus is a waste of time since the hardcore will pay attention to you the other 364 days of the year anyway. |
That's true, but as Onyxmeth and I have wondered aloud is "where are the games?" E3 is the only smart place to announce your Fall lineup and Nintendo didn't really show up with much. It kind of gives gamers the sense they're not paying attention to what they're clamoring for.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
