I like the argument that the people at the e3 are just fans and journalists, so let's not base anything on the buzz they have.

And what have we here?

Ah yes, another year from recent history when people ignored Sony and Microsoft. People dismissed this buzz, too.

Good luck with the fantasy that suddenly the Wii is over, and that Zelda is somehow the last hurrah. Hilarious! Bravo! I want your meds.

Sure that's a video of the launch year for the Wii/PS3 - when the critics were all universally singing its' praises.  I don't believe that the critics and fans in subsequent years '07-'09 deemed the Wii to 'win' any of those conferences, but we all know that the Wii won the mass market in those years as the sales show. 

Point being there's never been a correlation between 'winning' E3 and getting majority of sales. Obviously there's a bigger presence not being reflected upon by those in attendance and those that decide these outcomes.
