Sony - Sony won E3 2006 - View Post

Some people are saying Nintendo's E3 2008 was worse. Well, let me tell you, I was there for both and it was neither worse nor better. All they did was not announce games some people wanted, but their presentation was justified. The problem is it was very uneventful and neutral.

E3 2006 was just fun, even for some Sony fans which I was at the time, there was an element of fun to it. Of course I was pleased to see Nintendo getting so much attention, but I loved that Sony was so arrogant about copying Nintendo's controller and watching that backfire so elegantly was just amazing. E308, even for a so-called HD proponent, was no moment to savor exactly. It was more of the same.

E3 2006 was a total change, a reversal of the entire gaming landscape in a matter of days. That hadn't to do with just Sony. E308 had nothing on that, at all.
