Sony had the best show but why is everyone suddenly doom-and-gloom on MS?

They still have several shows to attend this year (X07, PAX, TGS) and their game lineup for the rest of the year is brilliant. It's not surprising that they talked about those games and are saving the details for Halo Wars, Alan Wake, etc. for a later show. There is still plenty of time for MS to start rolling out announcements for 2008. People aren't going to start buying PS3s tomorrow because Killzone 2 looked good, even though the game won't launch until after the holidays.

Yeah I have a feeling they're saving the announcements of games for next year for X07.  It seems like that is quickly becoming the show where they make their biggest announcements.

As for Halo 3 I thought the trailer looked amazing, in fact I was more impressed with it than Killzone 2 because they showed a lot more actual gameplay in Halo 3 as opposed to in-game engine cutscenes in Killzone 2.  Also the fact that they have to play tricks with the lighting in Killzone 2 makes me wonder why they have to if the PS3 is supposed to be so much more powerful than the 360.

What's really strange about Halo Wars and Fable 2 is that the developers of Halo Wars said to wait for E3 and gave the impression they would be showing something in it, and Fable 2 just had some ingame pictures released so we know it would have been possible for Microsoft to show those two games (I watched the Microsoft conference on G4 tv so maybe they did show Halo Wars and I missed it because of commercials...).
