3DS and Natal will be the big talking points of E3, so either Nintendo or Microsoft will take the most hype from E3. That's my definition of 'winning' as the amount something is talked about can be measured, whereas satisfaction with a conference itself is difficult to actually get a figure for.

Pretty much agreed.  I expect MS/Natal to win over the "industry press" thanks to their unparalleled stagecraft, PR and pandering.

Sony is going to come in last I think though.  Unless they have something legitimately new and big (PSP2?), I just don't think Move with it's casual knock-offs, and a bunch of PS3 sequels to lukewarm series (Killzone, inFamous, Resistance, LBP) can really push them over Natal/slim or 3DS/Zelda.

June couldn't come soon enough. I can't wait to see everyones face when Nintendo gets shown up....................................................again. You guys must think the Move is a joke.

I don't think it's a joke, but it's too late and it's lineup is purely derivative.  There's just no excitement there, no mystery, no "new".

Nintendo and Microsoft will also probably have lukewarm sequels for their faithful (Pikmin 3?  Perfect Dark 2?) and few boutique surprises (The Last Story seems to fit here) but Natal, 3DS and Zelda will be HUGE unveilings.  Obviously it's early, but we haven't really heard of anything on that scale for Sony yet (though I think PSP2 is getting more and more likely).

They are just starting up the motion controls. Nintendo went through the same thing. We all enjoyed it in the beginning...it became lackluster for somewhere though. The capabilities the move has, plus the camera and power of the PS3 is the selling point ontop of the capability for their still to be hardcore titles with a grade from normal controls to motion.
