Forums - Microsoft - Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360

Again this is PS3 vs 360 vs Wii. Handheld and a new console coming from Nintendo next year isnt what is competing for console sales in 2011 and most of 2012. If something is know about previously/rumored, but wasnt shown or talked about that act like it doesnt exist because it wasnt at E3.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

@ OP. Nobody said PS3 and Wii had a better E3 than the 360. What people said is that Sony and Nintendo had a better E3 than MS

Actually alot of people said Sony and Nintendo had the better conference. What he is saying is that overall Microsoft had a great showing with what they announced thruout E3, not just the conference. Personally that new dashboard Metro UI and the host of new multimedia capabilities was pretty killer.



@ the OP, maybe im wrong, but i find it strange that you would have a PS3 vs. MS. vs Nintendo E3 thread??? that makes no sense. E3 goes by publishers and MS just bought the least to the table in that terms. No one is saying that the 360 was the worse, they are saying that MS was the worst. IMHO I think you know that, thats why you choose to word it the way you did, to make the other 2 look worse than 360. Which is hog wash, because everyone knew that Ninty would have a new console and that they would have little focus on Wii and i would stiil give the edge to Sony cause they had more core games and unlike MS, didnt bash us over the head with their motion device.

For 360 I see the following showcased titles (all week)

Gears 3 - September 2011
Forza 4 - October 2011
Halo CE Anniversary - November 2011
Halo 4 - 2012
Dance Central 2 - Holiday 2011
Kinect Sports 2 - Holiday 2011
Kinect Star Wars - Holiday 2011
Kinect Disneyland Adventures - November 2011
Ryse - 2012
Fable: The Journey - 2012
Minecraft - Winter 2011
Rise of Nightmares - Fall 2011
Sesame Street - Fall 2011
XCOM - 2012

New voice enabled Metro UI 360 dashboard with youtube, ufc, live tv, bing enabled integrated content search. New Xbox Live features include cloud storage, beacons.

Many new XBLA titles.

So I contrast that with the stuff I heard about for PS3 and Wii.

Wii
New Zelda - Fall 2011 > The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword - Holiday 2011
New Kirby - Fall 2011 > Kirby Wii

Rythm Heaven
Mario Party 9

 

PS3
Resistance 3 - Fall 2011
Uncharted 3 - Fall 2011
Twisted Metal - Fall 2011
Starhawk - 2012
Sly Cooper 4 - 2012
PSP God of War titles packaged for PS3
As far as I know nothing new for PSN.

 

So what did I miss?  

Dunno about PS3. Also, I see people saying Sony and Nintendo (as whole company videogame) have best conferences because new hardware.

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Both Nintendo and Sony have to split resources between homeconsoles and portables, while MS only has a homeconsole. If you want to be fair, you have to take this factor.

Edit: Pikmin 3 is confirmed for Wii U.

Sony and Nintendo DID have a better conference. In terms of the showing

 

3DS=Vita>Wii U >> 360 > PS3 = Wii

 

Sony and Ninty had better conferences than MS because of the 3DS, vita and Wii U. Regardless, 360 had a better conference than the PS3 or Wii

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
Forza 4 - October 2011

So what did I miss?  

Halo CE Anniversary - November 2011 (Even more Halo? Allegedly not run on Reach engine, made by people who made TimeShift.  Certainly not necessarily something to go crazy over (Just because the Halo namesake is stamped on it). 


Halo 4 - 2012 (Halo not made by Bungie with essentially no information on it, Reach released not even a year ago..Halo overload much?  Looked tossed into the mix just 'because its Halo and people will eat that up'.  Not playable, not showable, nothing... Just letting you know Halo 4 exists.  )  




While most of your comments I agree with, these just show blatant anger at a series for no reason. 

Halo CE Anniversary = even more halo? buts its ok that nearly every ps3 exclusive worth anything is getting an older or psp game remastered for the ps3. Halo 4 is only coming out a year after the remake? God of War 3 came out 4 months after god of war collections...

Halo 4 is coming out two years after Halo Reach = halo overload much? yet its ok that uncharted 3 is coming out 2 years after uncharted 2. Killzone 3 also came out 2 years after killzone 2. O wait I completly forgot, only ps3 exclusives can have a sequel be made within two years. All others NEED MORE TIME. And please don't mention halo wars. It was a spinoff. Nearly every single huge ip, where it makes sense, has had spinoffs. Its just that sony has had only two truely huge ips, gran turismo and crash bandicoot. Spinoffs only made sense with crash. The only thing that truely was overboard was that microsoft charged $60 for dlc(Halo 3 Odst). 



On your sony side your missing a lot of games that weren't talked about at the press conference, but were still there with their own booths, such as:
Ico collection
The heist
Journey
Dust514
last guardian
Sorcery
medieval moves
and a bunch of other psmove compatible games
not to mention all the AAA games that will implement the move

but either way i dont think any conference had a very strong presentation to have "won" E3



Everyone is crazy to me too cause I thought Microsoft was the best.
