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.

 

Sony still didn't copy the wii mote, the fact that people dont' understand this is .. incredible. You really think they would make the sixaxis in 1 fucking day ?

They'd been working on motion technology for years, they had the eyetoy and they even had a patient for a motion device similar to the wii filed in 2004.

The sixaxis was in no more way a rip off of the wii mote than the wii mote was of the eye toy. Only similarity is that both are able to register motion to the device.
