Vita Price is very possibly a megaton, depending on the power of the machine. Still unexpected.
They showed some new exclusives and content.

Nothing huge outside of Vita Pricing
No Vita specs(if they were THAT great, I assume they would gloat)
Too much focus on 3D/move, which to myself are very niche items
I dont like Sony(still mad about OtherOS debacle) but they certainly outshined MS by a mile(I gave their conference 2/10). They should continue to do fine. Vita should do well unless Ninty cuts the price on the 3DS right before the holidays. I dont see Vita doing that much better than 3DS due to want of the system but more due to the 3DS's cost(at most $50 less than the cheapest PSP) and smartphone games cutting in on the casual gamer market. It should be quite a bit tighter and if Vita gets hacked like the PSP I think it could very well beat Ninty this gen. I dont necessiraly see it selling much better than the original PSP which is doing pretty great as it stands
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
