Not fair that you're removing points from Nintendo, just because they're not having a press conference. They're still going to be at E3!

Anyway, still voting for Nintendo! If they do it right, Zelda could explode brains, and I mean that it the most literal way!

This is entirely in the eyes of the beholder. For me, I dislike many of the games that make xbox and playstation popular, so if 20 grand theft auto-like games get announced for those two systems, and 1 game I love gets announced for Wii U (starfox), then to me the wii u wins. But I do think it's kind of fun to try to keep a point system.



Microsoft > Sony>>>>Nintendo.

Name one good motion controls demo in the last 6 years. They've all been awful or gone horribly wrong somehow. Or just faked.

Sony at E3 2010 with PS Move. Most of the demos didn't flounder. Nintendo at E3 09 with Wii Sports Resort also went well. Nintendo also did well at E3 06 but that was 8 years ago. Every single one of Microsoft's Kinect demos failed horribly. And who faked a motion demo?



Should that deceptive watchdogs trailer have won the 2012 e3 for Sony. A game that wasn't released for almost 2 years? We'll all make our own mind up over time.

Interesting. I'm curious why; according to this relatively unbiased scoring system, you feel Nintendo will be behind massively. Looking at other comments and the results in the poll, you seem to be in the minority. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Counter proposal for scoring:

-Each game gets 1-5 points according to how much we've seen before. 1 pt for new trailer for something we've seen tonnes of up to 5 for something brand new.
-Each game gets 1-5 points for hype/nicheness. Indies get 1, a new Zelda/Uncharted etc gets 5
-Each game gets 1-5 points for how much is shown. 1 point for tease, 5 points for gameplay demo/trailer
-Each game gets a point for each of the following:
-Release date
-Release date in 2014
-Hyped reaction from crowd
-Super hype reaction from crowd
-Playable demo at home

So each game shown gets between 3 and 20 points.

Overall presentation:

-One point for each non-gaming feature announced
-One point for each joke that hits
-One point for new DLC announcements
-Extra point if the DLC doesn't look to be a shameless cash grab
-Minus 5 points if the DLC is for a game that hasn't been released yet
-Minus one point for each joke that misses
-Minus one for each delay
-Minus one for each back pedal
-Minus one for each cringe moment (game failures, obvious actors etc.)

Seems fair to me, and keeps focused on games. (I say fair, but Microsoft seems to like the cringe moments and bad business practices that the presentation points penalise)



Example from last year:

Halo 5

5 points for brand new
2 points for CGI trailer
5 points for flagship series
2 points for super hype reaction

Total: 14 points

Mario Kart 8

4 points for being told to expect it
4 points for everything short of gameplay footage
5 points for flagship
1 point for vague release date
1 point for playable demo (at best buys)

Total: 15 points

Sound fair?



Most of the measurements in the OP are irrelevant to the purpose of E3. Cannot be bothered retyping so I'll paste what I put in the other thread:

It depends what you mean by 'Win E3'. If you mean who will have the best games regardless of sales potential then it will be entirely subjective and in the vast majority of cases confirmation bias will ensure that everyone who expected/wanted their preferred company to win, will believe they won. This is especially true where niche titles such as the Last Guardian could be shown, leading fans of such games feeling as though a certain company 'won' E3.

If you mean who will best leverage 'E3' as an opportunity to promote future console sales, this is almost certainly going to be Microsoft of Nintendo. Quite simple, this is because Sony is currently outselling those two companies, often combined, despite an almost complete lack of high-budget, high visibility AAA content. In other words, the only place Sony has to go at this E3 is down. Whereas even a viable attempt at levelling the playing field would represent an E3 'won' for Microsoft or Nintendo.

If you mean on these forums? It will go by userbase - in line with the aforementioned confirmation bias. Sony > Nintendo > Microsoft - irrespective of what is actually shown.

You should know by now that anonymous polls are a poor way of judging results, especially since there are so many Nintendo fans on this site. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
