It wasn't just the Wii and PS3 though.
It was 360 and Kinect vs. PS3 and Vita vs. Wii/U and 3DS.
Look at it that way. That's why they won.

I am way more fan of Zelda than Halo and even i know how much more irregular this series is than Halo. It's not even comparable, since Halo has usually the same gameplay and has a well-defined story and time-line. Zelda has too much changes from game to game. How do you relate for example, OoT to WW? Or Twilight Princess to Spirit Tracks? Or Major'as Mask to Four Swords Adventures? All of them are mothership titles. So, by the standards of some people here, you should expect nothing from Zelda. Since it won't be anything like the previous one (which is true, since the previous one was Spirit Tracks). |
To me and many others out there, Halo is a generic shooter. Its good yes but Zelda beats it.

The question of the thread was asking why the gamer consensus that the PS3 and Wii had a better showing than the 360 at E3. It wasnt just Sony. It was a good question. People gave reasons. Microsoft forgot that when they are showing games off its mainly the core whom are mainly watching. Unless they are showing off new hardware the casuals will not notice. This is why kinect had such a good year last year. Yahoo, google, late night tv and news stations all aired the new hardware for casuals last year. This year?...all nintendo. Casuals dont care about vita.
thx1139 said: I am talking about everything that went on at E3 not just the press conferences. OK so I was on vacation last week and only paid partial attention to E3. I have watched the MS E3 presentation and seen many of the other 360 announcements made by MS and others post the presentation. If it wasnt shown, but we know its coming I will not mention it. I wont mention multiplatform (I dont mean what may show up on PC) even if they have console specific features. For 360 I see the following showcased titles (all week) Gears 3 - September 2011 Many new XBLA titles. So I contrast that with the stuff I heard about for PS3 and Wii. Wii
So what did I miss? |
u missed a lot of things..... Sony showed 6 New exclusive ips for 2012 (3 of them are for hardcore gamers -Dust, Star Track, PayDay) + 8 new Psn games comming this year(Go to Gametrailers) most of the hardcore titels that Microsoft showed are comming to PS3

In your opinion, which is worthless to the rest of us. Try it if you wish. It has nothing to do with my standards. Yes it does... I've had this argument with Michael before showing him how even adding Move titles to Sony's arsenal could make arguing about the consoles titles even less in anyones favor who argues towards Microsoft. Yes, its preference, but lets be real here, look at the strength of the library as a whole. Once again, your opinion and completely worthless. To be truthful I'd rather keep casual titles out of the argument because those arent the true games which give a console lasting value. LMAO, Now I know you are full of crap. If casual titles didn't sell consoles, then why is the Wii doing so well? Why is Move and Kinect selling like mad? When most of us on this site talk about games which will grab gamers attention, AAA exclusives are usually the titles we focus on. I've become accustomed to it, hence why we tend to ignore the casual by default, because on gamer sites like this, you can call 99% of us core gamers. E3 was mainly viewed by core gamers, which is why Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming. If it was viewed mostly by the general public who could only give a care about gaming in passing then Microsofts show would be an A+. Secondly, as i've said before in other posts, for Microsoft to assume there is a core market (for Kinect) is quite risky as the kinect has only been around a year and only garnered true value around one franchise (which shows you truthfully where your market is stemming from). Yet it continues to sell well. MS made a smart move with Kinect. And putting more support behind it will only serve to boost the sales numbers of both Kinect units, and 360s. Core gamers tend to waver to titles with stable or complex control schemes. Casual titles gather people who dont really game and give them momentary pleasure, whilst the core titles can have lasting effects and change the core gamers impression of system A, B or C via their exclusives. Yet, core gamers make up a small percentage of todays gamers, this may have been true in the past, but this is 2011, grandma is gaming with her grandchildren now. Casual titles are a passing glance if any. It's like going to universal studios. Oh yes....I forgot....you can now go to the Disney theme park with kinect on a rail. If you view AAA titles and casual titles as equal...then as erroneous as I believe that is, it's still your opinion and I cannot change that. Once again, you are living in 2003, the demographics have changed drastically with core gamers making up a much smaller percentage of total gamers. Your whole argument is utterly useless now. |

The thread title is about E3, "Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360."
Why would I talk about games already released. I have, since E3, only been talking about E3 press shows and upcoming games.
If we talk about past 2011 games, why stop there? I already said Sony will have a better 2011 overall, what more do you want? I even showed you pre-2011, 360 had significantly more exclusives. I thought we were done with that, what else do you need to clarify?
2011 as a whole PS3 > 360, Upcoming games 360 > PS3, 2009 and prior 360 >PS3, and even though in 2010 360 had more exclusives then PS3, I'll say 2010 360 = PS3.
Exclusives between this E3 and next for 360: Halo: CEA, Forza 4, The Witcher 2, and Gears of War 3 I'll get. Then there is Rise of Nightmares, Dance Central 2, and Steel Batallion. PS3: Uncharted 3 is the only exclusive I plan to get, but there is also Resistance 3, Dust 514, and Twisted Metal......360 Still wins buddy, now stop changing the arguement, stop excluding good games because you're not interested in them, and stop with this bull. Dunno what you're trying to prove, PS3 is still an awesome system, 360 just had a better E3 then the PS3 portion of Sony's Press Conference.

Secondly, my definition of core does NOT remove Super Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong or Mario Kart, because all of those games have a learning curve, and it seems like you dont remember our old conversation because this the same thing you accused me of before. My definition of core seems to be the media idea as well. Secondly I've told you already that Microsoft and Sony already seem to have similar audience of taste in their core section, who mainly play based on preference of system or have both. The Wii has its own loyal core fanbase, whom are loyal to their first party IP's complex or not. Nintendo stands out, hence why this gen turned out this way and Sony and Microsoft followed suit. Nintendo is the only company who can appeal to everyone with a gimmick. Kinect has none and Microsoft have none and Sony definitely doesn't have Crash (Sony's highest selling casual exclusive) or Spyro anymore whom the casuals remember so well from two gens ago when the Playstation was sucking up third party exclusives. Much like Nintendo said at E3 they are contradiction. http://www.casualgamesassociation.org/faq.php Look at the casual games associations concept of what a casual title is.

Ryse is one of the first Kinect games to use finger controls. Individual finger commands, such as gouging someones eyes, will be recognized by Kinect. However there will be many different types of ways to attack and defend in Ryse. A "core" gamer should have much more trouble learning to play this game then Call of Duty. This game is not like Wii Sports, it's a core title.
I'm not ignoring Sony's past lineup, but why would I include Sony's past 2011 games, when all we are talking about is E3 onward? Do you see the thread topic? We are talking about upcoming games, not 2011 overall. If you want to bring in past games and the library in general, make a separate thread.
Ryse and Fable will not have learning curves? So Fable 1-3 are core RPG's, but now that Fable uses Kinect instead of a controller it's no longer core? You realize the gameplay is very similar overall. This is complete bull, you're just looking for reasons to ignore core titles.
Will you just admit, 360 has more comming out then Sony has for PS3? Stop changing the topic, stop whining that 360 isn't satisfying the core.
BTW That link, and you, have two completely different deffinitions for casual games. According to the Casual Games Association
"Developed for the general public and families, casual games are video games that are fun and easy to learn and play.
I really, REALLY doubt Ryse is being developed for the general public or families. Since when ever are M rated games casual? Same goes for Fable, it is a core franchise for 360, using a Kinect controller, versus a conventional controller, makes no difference.
Stop with this now, your own link contradicts you. Ryse and Fable are core, doesn't matter if YOU are interested in them or not. I'm not interested in Sly or Starhawk, but do I exclude them as core titles? Sly Cooper actually fits that definition much better then Ryse since it's an E rated game, developed for a more general audience.
