You probably can find no fault with it, and to you other consoles come some quasi hellish state. That said your bias is pretty obvious, and thus most posters probably take you less then seriously. You owe it to yourself to realize how you are coming off. Everyone has an opinion. The ones you listen to have an opinion based or relevant and pertinent facts. You need to step back think about what your saying, and be even handed. You need to have some solid facts. Propaganda cannot just spill out of your mouth. Your on a site that is not console specific, and more importantly is about analysis. That means critical thinking is important. You should be critical of even your preferred console. Now if you cannot do that how can anyone take you seriously. I watched the E3 show this year. Each one of the press conferences. The preceding coverage, and the follow up coverage. Out of the three Microsoft made the better case to developers, investors, and customers. Microsoft drilled a solid point home. Better games this year. Anyone watching at home would have said to themselves Microsoft is going to have a lot of good games this year. Nintendo focused on hardware, gimmicks, and one noteworthy title Mariokart Wii. Sony decided to show off Killzone 2. Now as a gamer what matters most to me is having good games to play. Not the middle of next year, but good games to play now. Microsoft simply put had a better sales pitch. That is why so much hype surrounded their event. They were up front right there selling me a lot of stuff. They showed me a dozen great games I would probably like to play, and those games were coming soon. Not nine months later. The GDC was very big for Nintendo during the conference they saw many games announced. Thats what I looked at the conference to find out and that is what I found out. The Wii was going to see many more games. Up until that point it was very much a case of what now when it came to the Wii. So it was very much a coming out party for Nintendo. Perhaps the blackballing by Sony of Kotaku hurt my perception, but that is what I came away with. Good for you corporate sponsored events should not be counted among the events to win. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have their own special corporate events. How could the host fail to win. I gave valid reasons. You listed four games. I suppose we can ignore the fact that the other two have similar offerings. What we cannot ignore however is that both the other guys have only opened the door a crack on their lineup for next year. What did you think they were going to stop making games. They have to announce them sometime somewhere. Both have ample reason to do it in Europe. The result Nintendo and Microsoft can lay out the crowd with a couple shocker announcements. Three AAA titles from either of them could easily bury any good press Sony might have gotten. I think Sony would have raided the cupboard before now. So I think they have very little to show at least in the area of software. |
thank you finally someone who understand what a PRESS conference is about....Sony did a GAMERS' DAY conference....
and i do agree that SCEI as most certainely less card left in its hands than MSGS, but anly the future will tell us, but my opinion is they wouldn't have done a press conference like that at E3 if they had that many stuff in the trunk it simply doesn't make sens it's the best way to burn future IPs, from a marketing stand point...
