Two E3's in a row victory, unless Microsoft unveils a new console
Though i still think this is premature. Tokyo Game Show would be a better slot

I fail how too see a new console is automatically an E3 win. The Wii lineup is ass at the moment. Good chance the Wii 2 or we will be the same if not worse.

New hardware is practically an automatic E3 win, unless there's other new hardware or your announcement is insubstantial. Hell, the Kinect peripheral was what won 09 for Microsoft almost singlehandedly, because new tech tends to wow more than old tech, even if the old tech is backed by better software, thus 3DS kicked in 2010, this could do a repeat
Though i'm saying the likelihood of this is low altogether anyway

'winning' E3 is something that is rather subjective...I for one thought 09 ms conference was rather lame and lol worthy if I'm being honest.
so no. to you new HW might make it a win but doesn't mean it's a law or something.
OT: would be a stupid move imho.

It can be quasi-objectively measured through publicity, as Carl pointed out. Hype is, to a certain degree, measurable, and i would say Natal (as it was at the time) got much more chatter going than anything else out of that conference. Objective measures of the quality of E3 conferences can lead to more nuanced debates, but at the end of the day its all about buzz, and its usually pretty clear who comes away with the buzz. 2007 was the last time when no-one really had the edge on buzz, and i would give that one to Sony because that was the first year they really started pushing PSN
