Why did Sony win again, exactly? Aside from the MMO (whoop-de-friggin'-doo, an MMO), we knew about all of these games already. All they did was feed the hype train with more coal, and people seem to be buying into it hook, line, and stinker.

MS still had the best conference, IMO.

 


So Microsoft wins because they announced that a formerly exclusive game is now crossplatform instead of Sony announcing a brand new IP?

Don't get me wrong, I think Microsoft won, but it wasn't because of the FF13 announcement.

 


Not at all. MS simply announced the most new and interesting stuff out of the three. And, while people knock Nintendo's conference, it isn't because they didn't announce anything new - it's because they didn't announce exactly what everyone wanted to hear.

As I said, the Sony conference was just much ado about nothing (and an MMO).



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
