I'm calling it - this E3 will be the biggest E3 for the PS3 yet. Not the biggest E3 for the comapny period, but the PS3. With this major shift in the PS brand and its marketing, the E3 needs to match it.

In think it's the biggest E3 for everyone. Like I said before, this is the time Sony and Microsoft have to do something about Nintendo. Nintendo is up and ready to kick Sony and Microsoft out of the market space, and they need to stop them. Natal and Move need to come out swinging.

Not at all... the PS360 see most third party support, and being very similar platforms, vastly different from the Wii, they can be almost viewed as one. Their marketshare is a little bigger than the Wii's in size, too. The Wii may squeeze them further in marketshare, but it'll never kick them out.
Though, you're probably right about this years' show being the biggest for all three.

Nintendo is using disruption with the Wii and probably the DS. Disruption is not about disrupting product, it's about disrupting companies. What Nintendo is doing is taking a poker game and turning it into Uno. Nintendo will win Uno and take Sony and Microsoft's chips. Whenever disrupting is employeed, the end result will be (unless stopped) that the competitors will be gone. Nintendo can destory Sony and Microsoft. That's their plan at least.
This is why I say this year is big. Sony and Microsoft have to stop Nintendo or else.

The Wii is, however, not as strong as it was before. This "disruption" talk fits '08 more than it does this year, as things are pretty much leveled and trends aren't changing much.
All consoles have found their niches and are doing well in all of them, which is why Nintendo doesn't to be stopped - they aren't big with the audience buying the PS3 and 360.

None of that has to do with disruption. Nintendo is past the stage of agressive growth anyway.
This will help describe how Nintendo has been going with disruption. Nintendo has been along with this plan from the start.
Nintendo is going to go after Sony and Microsoft's market. Why make consumers buy Motion Plus when the new market seems content with the current offereings? Nintendo is making it beat because they are aiming at the higher teir market, who is more demanding. This is why Zelda, a very "deep" and involving game, will have motion controls.
But think about these two things and then ask yourself if Nintendo is trying to kick them out of the industry
In 2007, 2008 and so on, analyst said Nintendo needs to release a Wii HD. Now, in 2009, Sony and Microsoft showed off their own motion controls with a Wii HD no where in sight. Why would Microsoft and Sony release motion controls if they are in serperate markets and can't infringe on each other? Analyst have all said Nintendo needs to go HD but Sony and Microsoft are going motion controls instead.
Nintendo has avoided HD this entire generation. Now, they are making a 3D video game system. What changed? why is Nintendo, who has been against visuals, making a product for 3D? (Also ask yourself, what company is investing heavily into 3D and makes Video Game consoles).
