Yeah E3 2006 showed the importance of first impressions. It really does reflect what the market will do for the first year. Sony failed to impress and the section of their boot for the PS3 really reflected it. A modest line the first day and virtually empty the rest of the show. Nintendo on the other hand had day long waits each day.
All in all I expect they will do fine. They just need a good show, they don't exactly need a 2006 E3 type of show, but they should do better than what Sony did that year.
