1) Wow, I wasn't expecting to read this? I voted RARE in this thread, not Nintendo, and I think Nintendo only once in the other two (95 and 96). I have no problem not voting Nintendo, and while I don't play Sony devices I respect their games very much so. Please don't accuse me of something or imply something. These threads are for fun, not to get all serious and angry.

2) I would have no issue including Sony, like I did in the previous two, if they had their own first party games, not 2nd or 3rd party ones that other studios developed. I am going off the lists I found online.

3) As for their list of games you included, I will update the OP to reflect the major ones. I'm trusting they are all 1st party games? I also updated the poll to put in Sony instead of 3D games. It's still quite early in this voting process so who knows. Currently Rare is winning by one vote.

Seriously don't get the accusations. If Sony won every E3 I wouldn't care, I just find it fun knowing what this site mainly thinks for each year. I even said in another thread for people to update me with information on games if they find more on major ones I didn't post, and I still get this reaction...

This is where people may differ though. Personally I consider "winning" E3 to be 100% down to the press conferences. So it doesn't matter who developed the games for me, if they're shown at one company's conference, then they count for that company. I can't remember E3 '97 but I doubt Rare had their own conference so I'd count every game they had that year as one of Nintendo's.

I know that means I'll consider the "winner" of E3 to be one of the console manufacturers 90% of the time, but I think that's fair anyway. They're the big draw for me, they're the main reason I pay attention to E3 in the first place, and since they include both their own and 3rd party games they usually have the most to show and the most new announcements. That's what makes them worth watching. A 3rd party would really have to have a ridiculously good show for me to consider them the "winner".

I get that, but I was trying to make a standard because more recent E3s many of those 3rd parties do have press conferences and some of them have had extraordinarily good ones. For instance, I though Ubisoft had the best conference a couple years ago. And Bethesda had an amazing one a bit back too that was probably the best that year. Since that is possible now, I don't want to penalize those third parties by not giving them the opportunity to win in the past. I suppose I could have made it the other way, but I'm hoping this way the dev teams get the glory rather than mega corporations.
