Defiantly Sony they announced new hardware (PSTV) and announced a new white PS4 Destiny bundle that will sell a huge amount of units. Its really paying off for Sony that they decided to get exclusive marketing with Destiny that game will be huge.


I want to agree with you, but except if PS4 is severely undertracked the Watch Dogs bundle didn't do that well (+64%)

There was no bundle in the US. Also, Destiny is a bigger game, and this bundle offers a white console. It will outsell WD bundle handily.



I will have an empty wallet is what I know starting about august until december.

PS4 - Destiny, GTA5, Farcry 4, LBP3, the crew, codmw, shadows of mordor, AC unity

XBO- Master Chief Collection, Forza Horizons2, maybe sunset overdrive

Wiiu- Nothing until next year when zelda u comes out.



 

It depends how you define 'business' and 'win' and if you count in # of consoles or $ and also if you look at absolute or relative numbers.

Many retailers that considered to kick Wii-U out of their stores will decide otherwise and the internet media hype will work in favor of Nintendo so they won the most because they aren't dead. In $ of course the PS4 made more sales which is easy with the higher price.



Hard to say really. If you omit the 3DS then for sure Sony.

I'd say Sony because I think they have the most momentum and are carrying on with that.

In terms of sales impact on a console, Wii U does have a case (% increase wise). But again we will have to wait and see.

Sony won because MS and Ninty didn't do anything at E3 to change the current pattern.

I hardly see how Destiny can be bogger than Watch Dogs. Bigger yes, but not by much. Watch Dogs is set to be as big as AC3, so more than Halo 3, wich is Bungie's biggest success.

You really want us to say it, do you? *sigh* Yeah... Sony won E3. There I said it.

Hey man, I even agreed Nintendo had the best presentation. Just trying to talk sales here. 

Even if Sony decided to skip E3 they'd still be number one in sales. The fact that people are rushing out just to buy a white PS4 with Destiny kinda says it all. Destiny looks mediocre (imo) and a different color SKU does nothing for me. Unless they announce a cool Metroid Wii U. :p (Then I'll regret buying my Wii U so early)



Maybe MS would win if it were limited to exclusives, just because of the halo's, but overall Sony because most the multiplatform sales will be in Sony's favour.

If Watch Dogs is anything to go by, Destiny will also be selling twice as much on PS4, possibly more because of the white PS4 bundle.

And ofcourse, everyone expects Sony to continue selling more PS4's than xbones and wii U's, and whatever extra income it will start to generate through PS now.



Sony had by far the best selling console. They will still have it after the E3, their domination is mostly unchanged... so, they clearly win on a sale standpoint.
Still, MS and Nintendo have a strong E3, they've shown that they have a competitive offer, and that the fan base matters for them. That's quite a good result.
