Nope Ubisoft won with 8/10

MS, Sony, EA and Nintendo were 7/10

I agree with Ubisoft winning.

Ubisoft: 9/10

Sony, EA: 8/10

Nintendo: 7/10

Microsoft: 5/10

I really wasn't overly impressed by Nintendo. I saw no real reason to own a Wiiu, and there was nothing at all shown for the Wii. I will admit, however, that the 3DS looks brilliant in the near future.

Are you looking at things from E3... or just the conferences... cause even during the conference they showed off the updated Skyward Sword that looks brilliant, as a Zelda fan I'm down right giddy, vs last year I was just excited.  As for other Wii stuff you can check out various sites, new stuff was there, mostly on the show floor, and directly announced via Nintendo's website (they've been trying to push their website so this info was probably exclusive to that venue for that reason)

And I'll say it a lot over the next couple of weeks, but Nintendo missed quite a few boats with their presentation, the WiiU will entice people like me who actually think up possibilities with a device that goes outside the box, but much like the DS announcement will confuse others until they get their hands on it plus some creative software to go with it.

 And yes I'm with you on the 3DS, I'm really excited for it as well, Smash Bros (for WiiU as well), Super Mario 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario Kart, Star Fox 3D, eShop going up, new trailers for everything (check em out if you can it really has sold me on a few games), Tekken 3D (like seriously for some strange reason the 3DS has become the home for any fighter with a tournament following you can think of save Mortal Kombat), new RE: revelations info and trailers on eShop, a new IP from Konami that's like Professor Layton (http://ds.ign.com/objects/095/095583.html), more Shinobi info, and a new Ace Combat game... and most of this is all coming THIS YEAR... I'm stoked and have no problem waiting on Skyward Sword now, OoT with all it's new content will keep me from losing my patience.

Oh, just the conference. I haven't seen the show floor

They did show Skyward Sword, very briefly. Five minutes at most.

I'm not saying that the Wii U is a bad system. It's certainly an intriguing idea. It's just that their enormous launch exclusive was an open world Lego game, and most of the games they showed were third-party multiplats; if anything, it's missing quite a few of those. What happened to GTA5 and BioShock Infinite on Project Cafe? What happened to all of the supposed third party exclusives? It wasn't really Nintendo's fault entirely. It was the fault of Nintendo fans for pretending that the new Wii would be extraordinarily advanced, would have a low price, would have a brilliant first party lineup from day one, and would steal all of the HD exclusives.

I'm sure they do have some first-party stuff in development, but we didn't see it, so that's a loss for Nintendo.

To be fair there's no proof that it won't have any of those, it's just that's what we were expecting to have confirmed right out of the gate. I'll again draw the comparison of this E3 to Nintendo for E3 2009 for Microsoft. E3 09 was proof of concept for Natal/Kinect, E3 2010 was where they really showed the product as it would be and the real support it would get, and likely that's what we're setting up for next E3 from Nintendo, or perhaps even sooner if Nintendo's having any intermediate events (it's a damn shame that they never show up to TGS and always just phone it in to Gamescom, otherwise we could set a more definitely timeline for when we're gonna find out more about this)
