I think we can all agree that the shift has moved away from E3 a bit. I think MS took it to showcase their already-released games to save their new stuff for X07. Nintendo did much of the same with a small dose of Mario Kart and more casual gaming attacks with WiiFit and the like.
Sony was the only one who appeared to take more of a traditional approach to E3 with a price drop, a new PSP, and a few new games. Of course, Sony also needed a good conference much more than Nintendo and they don't have X07 to fall back on like Microsoft. So, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Sony had the best show. They have the most 2008 content they need to start pimping to get people interested in the console long-term.
Overall, the show was a disappointment. The only thing in the entire show that had my interest for more than three minutes is the PSP Slim. I might consider getting one now.
Game trailers just don't do much for me. Infamous was cool, as was MGS4. But with so many great games coming in the next few months, I have a hard time getting too riled up for anything in 2008.
