I am talking about everything that went on at E3 not just the press conferences.
OK so I was on vacation last week and only paid partial attention to E3. I have watched the MS E3 presentation and seen many of the other 360 announcements made by MS and others post the presentation. If it wasnt shown, but we know its coming I will not mention it. I wont mention multiplatform (I dont mean what may show up on PC) even if they have console specific features.
For 360 I see the following showcased titles (all week)
Gears 3 - September 2011
Forza 4 - October 2011
Halo CE Anniversary - November 2011
Halo 4 - 2012
Dance Central 2 - Holiday 2011
Kinect Sports 2 - Holiday 2011
Kinect Star Wars - Holiday 2011
Kinect Disneyland Adventures - November 2011
Ryse - 2012
Fable: The Journey - 2012
Minecraft - Winter 2011
Rise of Nightmares - Fall 2011
Sesame Street - Fall 2011
XCOM - 2012
New voice enabled Metro UI 360 dashboard with youtube, ufc, live tv, bing enabled integrated content search. New Xbox Live features include cloud storage, beacons.
Many new XBLA titles.
So I contrast that with the stuff I heard about for PS3 and Wii.
Wii
New Zelda - Fall 2011
New Kirby - Fall 2011
PS3
Resistance 3 - Fall 2011
Uncharted 3 - Fall 2011
Twisted Metal - Fall 2011
Starhawk - 2012
Sly Cooper 4 - 2012
PSP God of War titles packaged for PS3
As far as I know nothing new for PSN.
So what did I miss?

Halo CE Anniversary - November 2011 (Even more Halo? Allegedly not run on Reach engine, made by people who made TimeShift. Certainly not necessarily something to go crazy over (Just because the Halo namesake is stamped on it).
Halo 4 - 2012 (Halo not made by Bungie with essentially no information on it, Reach released not even a year ago..Halo overload much? Looked tossed into the mix just 'because its Halo and people will eat that up'. Not playable, not showable, nothing... Just letting you know Halo 4 exists. )

While most of your comments I agree with, these just show blatant anger at a series for no reason.
Halo CE Anniversary = even more halo? buts its ok that nearly every ps3 exclusive worth anything is getting an older or psp game remastered for the ps3.
Again, these remastered PS2 titles are not a big deal in my eyes. Especially, when they are not even being remastered by the same team that created the games in the first place (In fact teams that have created fairly mediocre games). I don't think these older re-releases stand as 'Big announcements'. And I refuse to grant them that status just because 'HALO' is packaged onto them. With these two new Halo games we will have officially 6 uses of the IP in just this generation alone. That is overload by anyones standards except Guitar Hero/Activision.
Halo 4 is coming out two years after Halo Reach = halo overload much? yet its ok that uncharted 3 is coming out 2 years after uncharted 2. Killzone 3 also came out 2 years after killzone 2. O wait I completly forgot, only ps3 exclusives can have a sequel be made within two years.
(5) Halo FPS games this generation, versus 3 for Uncharted, 3 for Resistance. I'm sorry, that's a little too much for me to get overly excited about. I can also say that I am less excited or hyped for a new Uncharted or Resistance than I was two years ago.
All others NEED MORE TIME. And please don't mention halo wars. It was a spinoff. Nearly every single huge ip, where it makes sense, has had spinoffs. Its just that sony has had only two truely huge ips, gran turismo and crash bandicoot. Spinoffs only made sense with crash. The only thing that truely was overboard was that microsoft charged $60 for dlc(Halo 3 Odst).
Regardless, 6 uses of the Halo IP this generation, 5 being FPS games (I believe that's even more than Mario Platformers). That's effectively a Halo announcement for E3 every year the 360 has been on the market. I'd like to see you justify how that isn't an overload? It's not just Halo. Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, etc are all there too. I'm sick of those franchises for the same reasons as well.
If Uncharted / Gears / Resistance / Forza release a 4th game this generation I will say the very same things about them as well. That they have released too many.
