None were bad this year thankfully. Sony has the least number of surprises which really hampered their conference to me. MS had a big surprise but the whole Milo demonstration was scripted and the lag is horrendous. Nintendo could have done better (it was certainly better than last years) but their Mario Galaxy 2 bomb was the most unexpected of them all.
Sony and MS really pushed the 3rd party angle while Nintendo (as per usual) went in the opposite direction. I tend to prefer the approach by Nintendo because I believe first party is the foundation upon which a console is built. Though Sony has a bigger series of 1st party studios than Nintendo and MS combined, you'd never know it from their recent media briefing.
As I opened with though they all had a god showing and fans of their repsective consoles should be pleased. Though I'm highly dissapointed in many Nintendo fans who are still chiding Nintendo even after Big N gave them a huge helping of core gamer pie.
