If we're going by presentation

Nintendo: 5/10
Sony: 5/10
Microsoft: 2/10

If we're talking announcements that I liked

Nintendo: 8/10 (Smash Bros on WiiU AND 3DS?!?! Didn't expect that at all, new videos showing off what WiiU can do, need to still find the start so I can see the Zelda stuff)

Sony: 7/10 it was very middle range then they showed off Little Big Planet on Vita and it was like LBP to save the day again, turned Vita from a pass to a buy once LBP hits

Microsoft: 1/10 in all honesty I found nothing exclusive that I would pay money for, they stuck one of my favorite developers up there and had him look like his soul was sucked out trying to hype up a meh looking Kinect game... and overall I don't care about Halo if it's not made by Bungie...

I just had to clarify quick. 343 Studios contains the best minds behind the Halo franchise (including Frank O'conner) so in reality 343 studios will probably do a better job then current Bungie can do at a Halo game. 


As always I'll keep my eyes on it, but I really have no expectations and so the conference ending with Halo 4 wasn't something to lift my spirits after the games and poor acting kids I saw...

Nintendo let down by poor presentation skills. Sony let down by no big announcements.

Microsoft have nothing to appeal to me so I'm not going to give them a score.



VGChartz

Ill give it to sony for the vita price and Dust 514/sly

But it was a very poor showing overall

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

1. Nintendo 8/10
2. Sony 7/10
3. Microsoft 2/10

Same order as last year but E3 was much better last year. Microsoft was complete shit, like last year and Sony and Nintendo were decent. Wii U is actually a great concept and I'm quite excited about it. I wasn't after the conference but after reading up about it and it's positive reception from gaming sites I'm quite hyped. We can now finally play local FPS multiplayer without people cheating by screen watching. =D Also imagine playing Monster Hunter co-op from the same console locally. XD
The Wii U controller was the best hardware of the show.

xD the acting is always so poor at the MS E3 conferences!

Sony. PSV took it imo



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

I pick Nintendo because of the amazing Zelda: SS, a strong 3DS line-up and the WiiU controller.



nintendo - wii U (despite the horrible name) was intriguing.

but all 3 we're a bit lackluster.



I don't see how anyone can say Nintendo won. The WiiU was outed months ago, It showed ZERO first party games actually IN development. All they showed was MP games(That were actually the PS3/360 versions mind you), A pretty CG trailers that rly didn't do much in showcasing the system's raw power( Like Sony's original commercials advertised), and its sole exclusive is Lego City Stories......

The 3DS was much better suited for the lime light at there conference but the system itself is flawed with a flickery screen with glassless 3D that you can only play for a short time without feeling dizzy/sick(I know this first hand because I have played a few games for it). All the games for it now and in the near future are the typical games we expect from Ninty(Mario,Zelda, insert Nintendo character here) which if you are a gamer like me you have no interest in playing yet another mario platformer/and or spin-off.

Sony wasn't leagues better by any definitions but they had all the right stuff. What to expect soon(Infamous 2,U3,Res3, etc) in the coming months,Exclusives(Sly4 DUST,Medieval Move). Yea many of these are sequels to previous releases but they are just in there 3-4 iterations while most of Ninty's are in there what...8th+??!?! That makes them tired in my opinion. And New hardware that will be coming with some rely good exclusives from RELEASE(Uncharted Golden Abyss, SuperStardust Delta, Ruin, Modnation Racers(?), Sound Shapes, Gravity Daze,etc as well as MP games stemming from the HD Twins(especially SF X Tekken with Cole). Not to mention all the conectivity features that look like it could very well replicate what the WiiU does with the PS3+Vita. Oh, and that awesome price point of 250 for the Wifi only unit that places it right where it needs to be strategy wise to batle 3DS. There was also that rly nice 3DTV bundle they showed with the splitscreen tech for a very much affordable price to help usher ppl in to the 3DTV craze(but then again, headaches).

IDK, its all just personal opinion i guess...



      

      

      

Greatness Awaits

PSN:Forevercloud (looking for Soul Sacrifice Partners!!!)

Nintendo and Sony: 7.5/10

Microsoft: 4.5/10

Sony had a great, solid conference. Loved Uncharted 3 and the Vita was nice ($249!), but for me the best thing was the fact that Bioshock Infinite was featured there and Ken Newel... er... Levine was there to say it would feature Move. Otherwise, no big surprises but really good nonetheless.

Nintendo, well, I'll admit that I expected at least one of playable MarioHD, ZeldaHD, PikminHD, SmashHD, etc. However the controller has me very intrigued and the games coming out for 3DS have me far more excited than the PSV's so far. As far as Wii, SS looks cool, but otherwise there was, well, nothing, although I didn't expect much. The Zelda 25th stuff was ok and the developers (Levine!) talking about WiiU got me just like they did with 3DS last year.

Microsoft started strong with COD, which I thought looked great, but as far as their exclusives I personally don't care and none of the Kinect stuff does anything for me at all. I didn't totally hate it like some did, it just fell well behind the others, IMO.
