You've been trumpeting: "It's not about the graphics, it's about the games, games games," for a long time now; you can't just suddenly turn around and say: "who cares about the games, the financial analysts like Nintendo!" E3 is a show about games -- and, I'd point out, particularly oriented towards the hardcore gamer. Sony did a great job of catering to that crowd. In truth, I think Nintendo did show a good deal of games, just that a lot of those were more casual games that aren't suited to the E3 audience. |
