Getting the best response from a press conference means having the most news media report on you. MS has had more news media reporting on it at E3 than Ninty and Sony, therefore MS got more of what it wanted from its press conference than the other 2.

First of all: Of course Microsoft has been mentioned most. They had two press events while Sony and Nintendo only had one.

But anyway, it doesn't matter which company has been mentioned most, because there's a huge error in your reasoning. You make the assumption that being mentioned in the media is automatically positive for that company and that every time being mentioned has the same value. I wonder if BP currently subscribes to this point of view? ;) In contrast to Sony and Nintendo, Kinect had lots of negative press coverage, for example saying that they were only showing Wii rip-offs, that Kinect doesn't work if you're sitting, that many people were disappointed by the games they were showing etc. That's press coverage too, but not the kind of press coverage Microsoft wants.
