Kwaad, I agree. From everything I've read, Nintendo did nothing that awesome other than:

Mention a few new things like the Zapper and Board
Show vids of SSBB and SMG (very good)
Announce Wii Health
Ensure there's a MKWii

Nothing, and I mean nothing, of this is new except for the fitness board. As a gamer (an actual gamer), I don't see anything they've announced that'd make me want to buy a Wii (which I was/am considering), but it seems like they've totally decided to destroy old Nintendocore people like myself, and shift so far into the Blue Ocean, that any sort of actual game (you know, with a story line) isn't being promoted as much as it could, since no new IPs were announced that were.....games.

Im thinking Sony could pull away with some smidgen of momentum if they really had something good to show that didn't involve their upcoming lineup of games. If they could announce a major shift with new IPs, they could win. But if Nintendo, who has all the momentum and cash for new games, can't do it; I really doubt Sony can.

MS: C+ (B+ for games, D- for Hardware, D for effort)
Nintendo: B- (D for games, B for hardware, B for effort)
