I've been gaming since 1988 and I've never seen an E3 conference. It just leads to fanboyish messes like this thread. So I'm guessing then if MS shows 5 good looking games that are coming out next Summer and Sony shows 3 good looking games that are coming out this year Sony "lost" E3? I can be honest and say that I've always seen what each company announced after E3 conferences and have never been able to determine a winner. I guess if you miss all the pomp & farce of the conferences it doesn't impact you as much.
