To be honest I really felt bad for Sony at E3. They got fucked royally thanks to a piss poor time slot. They followed up right after Nintendo, and that was like one of the worst warm up acts of all time. Either Nintendo had you pissed, or plain bored to tears. Either way those watching were going to be far more critical, and Sony didn't do themselves any favors going for the slow burn.
So a lot of what hurt Sony was the fact that Nintendo performed so poorly. Honestly I cannot hold Nintendo responsible however for its impact on Sony. The truth is drafting has advantages, and it has disadvantages. One of those disadvantages is if the lead guy kicks up crap your going to get painted in it. Yes even the time you hold your show matters, because it does matter to your viewer.
Next year Sony should do anything to avoid being anywhere near Nintendo when they do their conference. Hell they should try to get on another day entirely. More importantly they should try to get on before Nintendo. I agree with the sentiment that neither Sony of Microsoft put on a bad show. The one that really stunk up the joint was Nintendo.
