naznatips:
Here is what my list of estimated E3 information anticipation would look like:
1. GTA IV
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
3. Halo 3
4. MGS4
5. Mario Kart
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. Killzone 2
8. Starcraft 2
9. Phantom Hourglass
10. Assasin's Creed
"There aren't enough PS3 owners in the world for Killzone 2 to deserve anywhere near a top spot on anticipation."
What does number of consoles sold have to do with it? I don't own a PS3, I have no plans of ever buying a PS3, yet I am interested in seeing Killzone 2.
And if that is your criteria, considering E3 is an American event and the Entertainment Software Association is the trade association of the industry in the United States, why do you have Wii games over 360 games (maybe for E3 2008, but the 360 still has a 6.5m to 3.5m edge over the Wii)?
And considering the number of 360s, PS3s and PCs in America, why is Assassin's Creed way down at #10?
"I'm not saying it's bad because of a lack of Wii games specifically, it's just bad overall."
That's not the reason it's a bad list, specifically, yet you took it from 1/10 Nintendo to 4/10 Nintendo, leaving the other two consoles with 5/10.
"Note: I edited it to add Halo back in, as I feel it really does deserve it's spot. Sticking with this final list."
Wait, so was the previous tenth game also Nintendo, bringing Nintendo up to 5/10 (and the X360 down to 2/10, both multi-platform)? Yeah, there is just no anticipation surrounding 360 games...
I don't think it would take a Sherlock Holmes investigation to determine that you, naznatips, are NOT a 360 owner.

"The sales show that people care a lot about Nintendo games."
Do they? But if Nintendo console owners are casual gamers maybe they don't care about (and eagerly anticipate) events like E3 as much as other gamers?
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
