IGN: Why PS3 won E3

Because we refuse to admit the existence of Nintendo, and because Sony's was slightly better than Microsoft's.


People can debate who won between sony and nintendo but the fact is sony showed more exclusives (but still barely any) and the wii U underwhelmed. It was a bust of an E3.


Indeed, people can debate it, and I will debate with anyone who actually made an honest assesment, which includes everyone posting in this thread, but does not include IGN writers.

 

Sony always show more exclusives than the others because they show games a long way ahead of time. What you saw at E3 was Sony's exclusives for the next 3-4 years and Nintendos for 1-2. The fact that you are more used to companies that announce years in advance is why you think the Wii U underwhelmed. This E3, they announced that the 3DS will have a bigger lineup than any console has ever had in its first year, barring the Wii's (Wii Sports and Wii Play alone make the Wii's lineup the biggest). Next year, they shall talk about the Wii U. Saying that the Wii U underwhelmed is as ridiculous as saying that the PS4 underwhelmed.

This is factually untrue. 

Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, the God of War Collection, and the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection all have set release dates prior to the end of the year, and that's only a small part of their line up for this calendar year.  Games like Twisted Metal and Ratchet: All 4 One weren't even mentioned, given they simply did not have enough time to devote to that many titles.

As for games without set release dates, Starhawk is penciled in for Q2 2012, much like how LBP2, KZ3, etc. were announced this time last year and released roughly one year later, and Sly is set for the end of 2012.  Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a PSV launch title, so that's a late 2011 or early 2012 title.

I cannot think of a SINGLE title Sony showed at their conference that could be even three years off, let alone four.   They actually had so many games to show that many titles set for this year got the shaft, and we still don't know the bulk of their line up for late 2012 (I'm guessing more God of War and maybe Guerrilla Games' or Quantic Dreams' new IP or something).
