Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360

What people have wanted from Microsoft since the first xbox released back in 2001 was the most cutting edge hardcore games. What they've shown in recent years going back to the initial announcement of what was then called Natal has been anything but that. They never sh6w any new exclusive (meaning not also on pc) hardcore ips and they keep throwing out games in their tired old franchises like Fable, Gears, and Halo while dedicating most of their conference to now talking about what wonderful games they have on the way for seven year olds Disney eg. Disney Adventures and Sesame Street and things that aren't even related to gaming at all like the ho-hum media content coming to 360. Also a lot of their attempts to integrate Kinect into hardcore games just weren't that impressive. Do we really need to issue voice commands to control Mass Effect? The first two games and Knights of the Old Republic certainly didn't need it.

For their part Sony showed a very impressive new handheld the PSP Vita at a very cost effective price point and that is powerful enough to get it's own versions of contemporary games like Bioshock and Uncharted and surely as with PSP which as gained a reputation as being the most core handheld many more core type games will be making their way to Vita. One of the models as cheap as 3DS. They showed a new display which makes hd 3d gaming much more affordable to gamers that can't afford to purchase $2,000 to $10,000.00 tvs, and they showed new games in series that have really generated a lot of cred over the last few years like the follow up to 2009's Game of the Year Uncharted II, Infamous II, and a new Sly Cooper game following in the wake of last year's successful HD remade Sly Cooper collection while the cred of Microsoft's older franchises has been slipping a bit the past few years.

As for Nintendo, they showed off some impressive games for 3DS and unveiled what will be their next home console (and that's always a big thing at E3) and indicated that it will be receiving much more support from key core third party developers than the Wii has had thus demonstrating that they really want to please the core which should allow Wii U to erase a complaint that many people have lobbied against Nintendo's Wii.

And that's why many people think Sony and Nintendo both had more impressive showings than Microsoft this year. To have a better Conference next year Microsoft should probably announce at least one new exclusive core ip and make new hardcore games the focus of their conference instead of just dedicating a third or less of their show to them as they've done this year and probably either find more impressive ways to implement Kinect into hardcore games or simply just don't try to do that at all.
