Forums - Gaming - IGN Versus E3 Results are in!!!!!

Overall I was disappointed with the conferences, bar the showing of a select few games.



Around the Network

Well deserved. The Nintendo event was the most memorable event at E3.

The opinion of many gamers about Wii U changed rapidly since E3. Simply because Nintendo showed and announced many probably excellent and outstanding games. MS & Sony mostly disappointed with their safe "Dudebro" shooter lineup.

It' called "moving the goal post", works everytime :p

If a product loses you money and shrinks your market substantially it's a loser. Just because the Vita is a spectacular failure doesn't make the 3DS much of a winner. Nintendo's very future rides on their handheld division and the setbacks associated with the laughable 3DS launch will haunt them for quite some time. Go ahead and call it a winner (I guess it is technically) but they don't see it that way at Nintendo HQ. A pity because their handhelds used to be the best portable entertainment bar none.


It's a shame the Vita is a spectacular failure. It's got the best 8th gen lineup bar none at present.

I would have to completely disagree. I think that title belongs to the 3DS.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

It's good at what it does, but it's too limited in too many genres to offer the best lineup. Where are the racing games, F/TPS games etc? Vita lineup is just a lot more well rounded which is why it's better for me.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Overall I don't think it matters in the slightest. Some people think A won, some people think B or C won, overall the proof of winning E3 is in the sales of the console.


So, would you say Nintendo won every E3 from 2006 to 2010 then?

No, for me Nintendo have never won... I just don't like their games....but except for MS's disaster last year, Nintendo have had some really terrible years while the other two have had some mediocre ones :)

Nothing surprising. The other two can't match Nintendo presence when they do the right moves. I guess I was wrong believing a press conference was necessary, but ok.

Nintendo has the best E3 ever with all those successful conferences translated into behemont sales for Wii and DS.

Let us record this moment for posterity.

Now I'm confused. Your first post suggested that the winner of E3 was based on following hardware sales, but then you say that it's a subjective victory. Which is it?

IMO, Nintendo has the most varied E3 presentations in modern times (since 2007 or so). E3 2008 was quite possibly the worst E3 from the Big 3 in years (let's not discuss it too deeply for my own sake), but E3 2010, just two years later, was in my opinion the best E3 conference of the generation, based on the viewpoint of how many notable games were announced and shown for both the Wii and handhelds. This even included traditional areas of weakness from Nintendo, such as 3rd party games, some shooters, etc.
