I thought the Sony and Microsoft conferences were just as good as eachother, and were better than Nintendo's. Actually, I'm not even sure, I don't remember the Nintendo conference.


Microsoft conferences have never been equal to Sony in consistency. Their conferences are heavily third party multiplats with either a staggeringly low amount of exclusives or too many casual games.  Sony makes too many exclusives so they never break their level of expectation. Nintendo needs to balance their games between the titles for people who have grown up with them (25+ years) or the people and the newcomers. When it comes to expecting internal games Microsoft is the one to expect to be the weakest. Microsoft's strongest E3 was in 2008 when they took Tekken and Final Fantasy  exclusivity from Sony.

I'm very interested in multiplatform games though, I like how there were many playable demos shown at E3. Looking back, I did think SONY's conference was better, but it's far from their best. I still remember watching E3 for the first time in 2009, I thought SONY's conference was amazing.


Sony's conferences don't blow me away but they keep me satisfied and I am always interested to see the growth of the characters that represent Sony. Nintendos 2010 conference blew me away. Microsoft really needs to have a first party heavy show thats balanced between the core and casual which has never, ever happened. Everyone gets multiplats so leave those to the third parties. E3 is trying to rally the media and gamers to your cause, so show them what you've got.

I honestly believe we will be seeing Square at Sony's conference in some capacity this year. Versus needs to be showed, XIV 2.0 will be coming out shortly after, and SE will more than likely drop the XV bomb.

Why does Sony hate Britain so much? They always schedule for the worst times possible.

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

sleep just 4 hours one day won't kill you... i am sure...
i usually sleep about 5 to 6 hours per day, and if i miss this and sleep more, disaster... headaches all day.

the few gamers i know are all like me... don't sleep much and always ready for a long nights... i tend to think everyone (gamers) are like me!

on topic: i hope to see gameplay of TLG and a release date (finally)

As soon as I post something that says 'Sony sucks at E3 and MS does not' feel free to try again. Or even 'MS is better than Sony at E3'. Untill then, don't try so hard to embarress yourself defending a company that does not need defending.
