News sites around the web all speak about the megaton of FFXIV. It simply was the biggest news of show, regardless of MMO or otherwise.
Very closely followed by Metroid/Mario, that made 10 million Nintendonians cream themselves in unison. Now with added Yoshi.
Crackdown 2 was a good announcement for MS but the rest of the lineup was pretty well known or smaller scale. Halo's don't occupy that same headspace any more. The only real reaction to L4D2 was "this early??" no matter how f*cking fun the game and its original are. Splinter Cell looked damn fine but was expected.
