@Smashchu, they didn't win E3 08. Anyway, with them unveiling 3DS which is being considered a next gen handheld, that means that the 8th generation of gaming is approaching closer than we've expected.

we'll see about that!! ;)

If only because Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City Folks under preformed.

I judge it by what they had to show and how will that help the company. E3 is not what people make it out to be. People see it as a three (four) day carnival. It's really a trade show with the purpose of showing off the company's products. Nintendo didn't win because what they showed was not good enough. However, Microsoft and Sony didn't have much to show either. Nintendo at least had Resort.

Chances are that the most important game info to come out of E3 will be Nintendo's Wii Party. There probably won't be another game this year that will sell as much. So far this gen has seen 4 Evergreen titles. NSMBWii, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit(and plus) and Mario Kart Wii.  Well here comes the 4th.

The nature of the game may detract from it's attention on internet forums, but it's a damned important game and easily one of the most important showings of E3.

I really don't see how Nintendo's E3 09 conference was at all lacking as Galaxy 2, Other M and Golden Sun DS was announced.  Golden Freakin' Sun, a series I thought I would never see a new installment in.

Of course, I can't forsee all the announcements made at the upcoming E3, but without a doubt Nintendo's E3 wil be a show not to miss.

It's gonna be a close one.

Do you I smell a bet? I bet Nintendo's conference will be the best conference at E3 this year.

Presentation and stagecraft were the issues.  I'd also argue the 3rd party games they featured could've been better selected and handled... I mean did Dead Space Extraction and RE DarkSide Chronicles both really need to be splotlighted, and one right after the other even?   Why not diversify and highlight something like Silent Hill SM or Tatsunoko Vs Capcom instead.

is E3 a competition?  is there a prize?  no, it isn't and there isn't.  it's a trade show, you can't win a trade show.  how sad that some people's identities are so wrapped up in a video game console that they create competitions where there isn't any to simply feel better about themselves.

this gaming industry revolves around competition. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony don't just go to these shows to show off games and other stuff. They go to show what their company has to offer regarding games and why they are the superior gaming company.
