For me, it goes about like this:
- Microsoft
- Sony
- Nintendo
My thoughts on each:
Microsft
- FFXIII - the announcement that made the internet explode, it's really hard to top that. I'm not really looking forward to the game but you do have to admit that it's a huge announcement.
- Netflix - Pretty awesome, especially if you already have Netflix.
- Other than those, nothing too exciting. It mainly gets the best for making the itnernet explode.
Sony
- All around good show-- they actually, you know, showed games. Would have been the best if not for the FFXIII announcement.
- The rental service is cool and comparable to MS's Netflix, just depends on how you like to rent movies.
- It told me a bunch of stuff I already knew about so meh.
- How is it that no game even comes close to using 80% of the PS3's SPU's yet MAG is already pushing the PS3 to its limits? I don't know, this just doesn't seem exciting yet and seems like they're just going for quantity over quality to me. I seem to remember saying KZ2 was going to push the PS3 to its limits and I guess it's not even close to 80% of its power now.
Nintendo
- Animal Crossing - cool anouncement yet I don't care. Actually, that's how I felt about most of the games.
- Really just a lackluster press event. Easily the worst of the three
- Wii Music seems neat, I don't know if I would buy it. I mainly just want to see how it works and how all the instruments are implemented.
- The motion dongle is pretty cool but we found out about it yesterday.
