Sony won e3 by a landslide.

MS was nothing special (didnt think much of the games they showed) and Nintendo was downright awful, they should just go third party. Honestly.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Tough call between MS and Sony. I would give it to MS because they gave me the biggest surprise, the price of the xbone.

I love being surprised.

Good post, quoted for emphasis.  I agree with pretty much all of it.

Sony didn't win because they had a better presentation than Microsoft, they probably didn't, but because they threw Rock to Microsoft's Scissors and went for the kill.



I voted MS for the lulz but obviously Sony won.

It was a like beating a dead horse. And what a beating it got.

It seems like Microsoft and Nintendo get paid to screw things, just like the 6th gen...



I have to say that I think Sony and Square-Enix take the prize this year.

I just got finished with Nintendos Direct Stream and I think they're playing this way too far down in the "safe" ally.

Positives:

Project X looks awesome
Bayonetta 2 (not digging the short hair though)
New Donkey Kong

Neutral:

Super Smash Bros (not a big fighting fan, so not huge for me)

Negative:

Zelda: Wind Waker doesn't look nearly as good as those initial pictures led us to believe.
Mario needs a fucking break. LET HIM REST.
Pokemon

Then again at this point i'm sure Wii U owners will take anything they can get, Also this stream also shows why they didn't have a presser this year. 4/10.



I rate each of the 3 conferences/ events here

Microsoft 8/10 (Based on previous Microsoft conferences, this is the best they have ever done)
+i love that they kept to their word. It was games, games, games. Some awesome ones too. MGS V, Dead Rising 3, Insomniac new game, project spark etc
-High price in the UK and bitter taste from previous announcement to do with DRM. I wish they would change there mind.

Nintendo 8.5/10
+Lots of games especially for Wii U. Decent amount of 3rd party games (wonderful 101, X, bayonetta 2)
-Laggy stream! Never use ustream again! Also, no real surprises

Sony 9/10
+Cheap PS4 price, no DRM!. Plenty of games coming. Deals with 3rd party developers like Bungie and Ubisoft. Great new IP's like The Order 1886. Decent PS3 showing. Kingdom Hearts III
-Talked about TV, although not for to long! Lack of Vita unfortunately.

Overall, a good E3 i thought 



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

While I agree with the sentiment that Sony was, I don't think it was by much. They didn't really win easily or destroyed the competition. They won because of the price and their policies, at the price of PS+ becoming a requirement for online. PS+ offers alot of great value but still, it was a disappointing announcement. They still had some great reveals like the order, FFXV, KHIII, and the other games announced in feb. (infamous, killzone, Drive club and Knack) are looking damn good.

MS has an amazing line up of games, a lot of exclusives and Live is gonna start giving out free games, to keep, unlike PS+. However, ACII and Halo 3 are kind eh at this point. However, that price and their policies which they did not address was a shot in the foot, which Sony took advantage of and even poke fun at them.

I didn't watch the Nintendo Direct but I'm not seeing much excitement for it.

Nintendo had an awesome game to show us at the end of the lagging Nintendo Direct for E3 conference show.

 

I still got to go with Microsoft, DRM be damned it was too Awesome!

if your doing cons for MS, at least throw in mandatory PS Plus and that Nintendo is playing it REALLY safe with their exclusives.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
