Nintendo's presentation actually had me excited, and I screamed uncontrollably at the Advance Wars reveal. I've never done that before. The win clearly goes to Nintendo for me.
Microsoft mostly had games that were not for me, but a couple did look interesting (Psychonauts 2 and AoE4). They also had a whole lot of games coming in general, so it's nice to see that they are actually trying. That puts them lightyears ahead of everyone but Nintendo.
The best third party developer/publisher from the past week was From Software. Elden Ring looked cool, and is probably the main third party game that people are going to remember favorably from the past week or so. (Mario+Rabbids is also cool, but let's face it, it's really a first party game.)
Every other major third party company looked terrible including the ones that didn't show up. Sony looked worst of all. There is no such thing as winning by forfeit. Not showing up means you forfeit.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
