Disolitude - not really.

PooperScooper - yes really.

actually.. no...

While I diasagree with Disolutes comment that the conference is more news then Sony and Nintendo combined. I do agree that MS tends to only show off games that are coming out in the near future, unlike Sony who likes to dangle carrots in front of its users.

Fable 2 seems to disagree, as we still don't have a date for that game.

Uncharted was shown last E3 and came out in July...

pwned?

Uncharted was announced a year and a half before release, Gears of War was announced a year and a half before release.  Resistance was announced in January for a release of Fall, Gears 2 was announced today with a release of November.  Banjo 3 was announced over a year ago and we have yet to see any gameplay footage, much like KZ2 was announced years before release with nothing but CGI.

Both companies have games that are announced long before release and games that are announced at the last minute.
