E3 has become more of a spectacle and less about boring "look at this demo"

Microsofts conference spanked the other 2 in spectacle, and it had enought substance to go toe to toe with both.

Natal left something to the immagination, which is a big plus. Sony's motion controls will be impressive but you know exactly what they can do and how they work, that is boring.

Nintendo on the other hand bored people with "profits" talk...
"Wii sells more 3rd party software" versus Paul Mcartney and Ringo Star? Err...why is anyone even discussing which conference was better?

Well yeah, if we're talking about presentation, then Nintendo is clearly deficient in that regard.

 

I figured that the game media was less shallow than that, though, and would focus on content. Content is how i judge Sony to be narrowly first place, ahead of Nintendo who is roughly equal to Microsoft.


What? MS clearly had the most content.  MS spent 2 hours on nearly all content.  No time for simple game announcements without preview/demo, no time for statistics.

Sony spent more time on games that have been announced for years than  anyone else. How many years ago was GT5 PSP announced? Hasnt it been since the PSP was announced?  GT5 PS3 still was just a short trailer. When will the actual game be shown?

hmm, Alan Wake and Splinter Cell come to mind.

What do you mean by that? Are you saying those are the only ones you remember? Or mentioning games that were announced but didn't show content? 'Cause they showed about 5 mins of gameplay for Alan Wake.

Those are 2 360 games which have been announced for quite some time as well.

And they were both demoed and given release dates.

As for exclusive titles MS showed:

Alan Wake - Release Spring 2010
Splinter Cell Conviction - Release Fall 2009
Forza 3 - Release Fall 2009
Halo 3:ODST - Release Fall 2009
Halo:Reach - Release Fall 2010
Left 4 Dead 2 - Release Fall 2009
Crackdown 2 - Release 2010
Shadow Complex - Release Summer 2009
Joy Ride - Fall 2009



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
