Sony - 9 (I was really entertained and I thought Jack Tretton did an excellent job presenting this year. Last year was his first year and he was too nervous
No one else made the typically boring numbers & charts entertaining as Sony did with Little Big Planet. That was genius. The Sony conference was longer than the rest of them but held my attention the whole time.
Sony showcased 2008 for the most part with 5 main games shown for 2009: Infamous, RE5, GOW3, Killzone 2, and MAG)
Xbox - 8 (Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, and RE5 were excellent. Feel bad for Rare who, instead of designing games is relegated to designing costumes and avatars for Xbox Mii's. I thought the new interface for Live looked slick though and of course the FFXIII was a welcome shocker to 360 fans. So far the roles are reversed and the 360 is king this gen for RPG's)
Nintendo - 4 (Very annoying lady presenter, should have used Reggie the whole time. Nothing new for the core gamer, it was the worst e3 conference Nintendo has had in years. The Wiimote plus is a cool thing to further improve the technology of motion controls but I don't see casual gamers rushing out to buy these extra $$ accessories for their wii sports. Wii speak gets Nintendo online games up to speed with in game chat. They did say they have new games for their top franchises Zelda & Mario in the works and likely it's just too early to show anything concrete. Just wasn't exciting and everyone seems to agree Nintendo was last for the press conference this year)
