IGN: Why PS3 won E3

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


He didn't ignore them, he just wasn't excited by them.  And if his gauge is games, how can you say Sony did not beat Microsoft?  By his measure, he's quite right I'd say.  But opinion is opinion.  I don't think a company should win simply for a console reveal, interesting or not.  I also thought Sony was the best conference, doesn't make me or you wrong.


1) "Sony's was slightly better than Microsoft's" =/= "Sony did not beat Microsoft?", infact, it means exactly the opposite.

 

2) My main point was that because IGN would not admit that Nintendo won E3 regardless of how obvious it was. I don't blame them for this, they've spent years gathering an audience for their site, and if they went around presenting a balanced, fair and sensible viewpoint, they would lose their entire readerbase overnight. They have to declare either Sony or MS the winner, or they lose a lot of money, so it should be no surprise that they declared Sony the winner, because as I already mentioned, Sony's E3 was better than MS's.

 

3) I'm not saying it was obvious that Nintendo won, by the way. I personally think they did because the big games they talked about had release dates attached to them, whereas the big games Sony talked about did not. I think Nintendo won because their 3DS announcements were better than Sony's Vita announcements. You obviously have a different opinion, which I am interested in reading. What i am not interested in reading, is a bunch of idiots with no journalistic integrity writing purely for money.


sony annonuced more

annonucements for ps3 : dust 514, medevil moves, ruin, dragon's crown ( only kirby was new for the wii )

vita : ruin, dragon's crown, modnation racers vita, little big planet vita, etc ( more reveals than 3ds only luigis mansion was new  )

games already revealed before conference ps3 : uncharted 3, resistance 3, starhawk etc

vita : little deviants, uncharted vita, etc

... i don't really know if its that your bias is blinding you but the fact remains that you're wrong nintendo revealed one new game for wii, none exclusively for wii u and just one new game for the 3ds ( luigis mansion )
