Okay, I'll give MS due respect for Natal because that is innovative and exciting. Also a lot of good exclusives.

Nintendo dropped the 3 biggest games - Wii Sports Resort, New Super Mario Bros Wii and Wii Fit Plus will all easily outsell anything MS has. Metroid looked cool too. Plus WM+ is out NOW with GAMES. That has to count for something.

Sony? Uncharted is nice, I'd get if it I owned a PS3. MAG? Impressive but I'm not sold on it. Nothing else solid for release dates for the imfamous Delaystation 3 so probably all '10 or '11.
FFXIV was definately a shock announcement but I doubt SE will release 3 FF games in one year on a small install base like PS3 - it makes zero sense. They'd be competiting against themselves and FFVS especially might take the sales hit if people know FFXIV is around the corner. I expect it in '11 and without question I expect it on 360. Even SE said a 360 version is likely to happen. As for the motion controller.... With the innovation of Natal and with immediacy of WM+ - with games! the Sony motion controller just seems like far too little, far too late and the cost for an eyetoy on top of the controller for only a handful of yet to be announced games it just seems full of fail.
Also, unlike Natal and WM+ it seems totally contrary to what the system is all about. It won't work within the confinds of most of the games that PS3 tends to have. It seems forced.

So for me MS had the best showing for core gamers and a great hook for casual with Natal, Nintendo by a huge margin for casuals and Sony is still in deep, deep trouble but put on a good show to cover for it.
