Sorry, no.  Deal with it or don't; either way, you're not some kind of sanctioning body with the right to decide someone else's opinion and your subjective criteria really holds no real meaning.  All these companies at E3 are there to compete over sales, which means that is the only true definition of winning.  Not "oh snap, they just revealed they'll make a sequel to that average selling game I like, they won E3 automatically."  

Now, if you want to talk about which company won you over as a fan, that's entirely fine, but it's certainly not some kind of definitive.  It's also no better, and no less subjective, than someone feeling that they, as a gamer and a consumer, benefited from the competition.

Can we please realize that "winning" E3 is something that is entirely meaningless outside of gaming forums? The only year it had any kind of effect was 2013 and that was more because of everything leading up to the event.

Last year for example a lot of people said Nintendo won and nothing changed whatsoever in the big picture for them, even though some people seriously thought it would.

A certain company "winning" because they discovered internet streaming was a lot of fun for me personally.

Well! With that attitude I'm sure you have a lot of fun watching conferences and discussing what was shown. Or you don't participate in discussing anything because it's all just subjective and nobody has the right to say something was better than something else because that call is entirely based on their subjective criteria. 

Sheesh, you're really THAT guy who does this sort of thing?
