Anyone that claim Nintendo was the winner.... just doesn't follow gaming. Nintendo was by far biggest Disappointment of E3 2105 even with my lowered expectation. The best part of Nintendo E3 2105 was the Nintendo direct but not for the games announcement but from their use of muppets. 

I think that some of Sony's announcement were overblown such as Final Fantasy 7 remake, The last guardian and especially Shenmue 3. But on the other hand Horizon looked amazing and Uncharted 4 looked well polished and at the time seem like would be a big Holiday release. Promising tech demo of PSVR were shown on the show floor.

Microsoft lost E3 2015 when they decided to push Quantum Break, Halo Wars 2 & Crackdown 3 to Gamescom 2015. Pleasantly surprise with Sea of Thieves and Recore has new IP from Microsoft. Backward compatibility was a big deal for me personally.

Nintendo will probably have a big year this year..... they needed time to get their ducks in a row.

Yup, I agree it's Nintendo E3 to lose. The NX annoucement will be big. They could still screw it up by doing same mistake they done in the past:

1. Annoucing a new name other then NX on par with the "Wii" or "WiiU" name annoucement. 

2. Underpowered consoles that 2-3X more powerful then a WiiU.

3. The controller annoucement is mostly confusing consumer rather then excite them. 

4. Ambiguous console news like WiiU that leave casual crowd wondering if it's a add-on or new consoles.

Still Sony. Like come on guys. It doesn't matter how they did it, they revealed three of the most memetically desired games in gaming history in the same conference. Nothing game close, and few things could have. I'm excited for the NX, and I don't even think that will reach Sony 2015. There aren't enough games in that level of desire left to be as impactful. Half Life 3? Even if someone had that, they'd still need 2 more games of that caliber. It's just unattainable.

If the beyond good and evil rumors are true and they showcase prime 4 and Galaxy 3 it will easily beat a non exclusive remake, a boring demo of a game left for dead, and a kick starter announcement. If Microsoft or Nintendo pulled that kick starter announcement crap they would have been torn apart, Sony could have at least funded it. Also big fan of shenmue back in the day but gameplay wasn't the greatest it was more of a graphical show case back then and with this budget there better be some amazing fork truck missions. The bar to beat last year's conference is not that high, was more hype than anything.

Sony... no fucking doubt about it. TLG, Shenmue, FF7, Horizon, Dreams, Uncharted, FF World, Rigs, it was just epic all around.

Sony for sure.

The Poll speaks louder than words, i will leave my comment regardless for the people that want to make a chart of some sort out of the comments.

Ive seen in other threads that some users are not trusting the VG Chartz Polls, like this post from a user named Iceland:

"I wouldn't really take the poll seriously, take the comments left here and make a chart of some sorts.

Interesting thread though"

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7847532

That's because guests and users can vote. I can also vote if I log in through different devices. It's really easy to make polls to your own favour.

OT: Sony for sure. Had they announced a Katamary Damacy, I would be begging my parents to get me a PS4, but with Horizon Dawn, The Last Guardiam and FF7r they almost have me



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

at the time I though Xbox, but the games that they showed are either cancelled or now available on PC or just plain under performed, so I will have to give to Sony

That's sadly true, just imagine if microsoft or nintendo announced shenmue 3 the shit storm on the internet would be so big everyone even microsoft and nintendo fans would be so pissed about it that they would have switched over to sony and the ps4 :/

Both MS and Sony had very good E3s, but Sony took the internet wish list and checked off every mark. I was at the airport when they had their conferences, and thought the information scrolling across my phone was a joke. Not only that, but Horizon was probably the game of the show for me (and hopefully will be again this year).

I said Sony back then and that's still my answer.
