Honestly, does anyone really "win" these trade shows? It seems as though they rarely have any effect on actual sales whatsoever, outside of the tiny minority of consumers that religiously follow gaming news websites. I heard a lot of talk about how Sony "won" E3 this past year, yet little reflection of that in terms of retail sales.
The typical news seems to be "____ game to be released at indeterminate date in the future looks great in FMV trailer!" That may fool some people, but it's really not "news" to me. I mean, with so many good games out right now, why waste your time pining for ones that won't emerge for month and even years down the road?
