Alot of people are making predictions that 360 has already won E3 with the FFXIII bomb. While common sense says it will be a major blow for sony, whose to say that Epic Games won't come out and say "Gears 2 on PS3 too". Yes it seems far fetched but did any of you truely expect FFXIII to be multi plat?

My point is whats stopping sony and nintendo from having just as huge of E3 conferences.

that's what I'm wondering too...

nothing is stopping them,i stil think that nintendo will have the best show

Part of 'winning' is the unexpectedness of the news. Sure, there have been few who said MGS4 would be mutliplat (me included), and we were wrong. However, far fewer people ever said FF13 would be anything but PS3 exclusive. So, given that its going to be exclusive in only one country throughout the whole world is BIG news for MS. That type of surprise is hard to match.

I still think Nintendo will 'win' since MS's only real show stopper was FF13 news. Everything else was meh to nice at best. Only WOW was FF13. Whereas Nintendo hasn't mentioned any games for the last half of this year. There are a couple old ip's that are being strongly rumored to be shown plus you have the new add on to the wiimote for 1:1 controls. All of Nintendo's hardware addons always come with software and that hasn't been shown yet.

Then you have a big black hole in terms of 3rd party software as well. Basically, Nintendo's conference could be huge on new software alone and that would certainly surpass MS's news.

Sony on the other had has really nothing that could complete surprise us. Big price reduction and maybe Home being fully ready and launching tomorrow would be about it.

A motion controller would not be that big, and there are not games they could possibly announce that we haven't already seen quite a bit about.

I guess one other thing, a slim model w/ modest price reduction would be big.

I don't think Microsoft has won the e3 but with that new it really has hurted Sony unless they can show anything as good as that.

Whats stopping Gears 2 from going to PS3?

Edit: And how do you know there isn't a big in house production game sony's got up their sleeve

Gears2 has already been announced as 360 exclusive and it is coming out soon. Plus, it is a NA centric game which is clearly still 360 >> PS3 as far as userbase is concerned. The only reason FF13 with multiplat is that the PS3 in Japan is below expectations and 360 still has a solid lead in NA.

The only 1st party games that are great are already known with trailers and such, thus no surprises and I don't think Sony has the ability to create an original title that makes the world go wow.
