I still don't see how people think Sony won?

Yes I understand Sony introduced MAG which has OMG 256 players and FFXIII wasn't a new game but...

FFXIII is far more important this generation to more people than MAG and it was a definitive staple of the PS3. When you thought of PS3 exclusives FFXIII was on the very top. It would be like Halo going to the PS3.

MAG seems interesting but more than likely it'll be just another shooter in a crowded sea of shooters this generation. Whereas people kept saying FFXIII was the king of RPGs and losing other JRPGs to the 360 was irrelevant while FFXIII was exclusive to the PS3.

In the end MS>>>>Sony>>>>>>>>>>Nintendo as far as these press briefings go. I have a feeling all 3 will show more great stuff beyond just their keynote presentations though.

they haven't lost a JRPG. remember, FFXIII wont be released on the 360 in japan!

Yes, MAG may just be another shooter, but a shooter with a lot more on offer and like no other on any other platform.

Yes FFXIII was big news, but it won't change the fact that it is a small deal made big. Where it matters, it is still an exclusive and unlike 360 which only showed 2 worthy exclusives, the PS3 showed a whole bunch of them. 

Also you clearly are overlooking how close the price is now between a top end 360 which still offers less variety and HDD next to a 80gig ps3 for not much more. 

Lets be honest here for a moment, MS didn't offer much other then FFXIII being no longer a PS3 exclusive. In reality, it is not a big a deal as it has been made out to be by ranting fanboys. Even though MS paid their way into SE's pants, Sony still had way more on offer with way more class.

I'd have to peg MS and Sony about even tho I think Sony will come out a bit for the worse in the long run. The presentation of Sony's was better but the news was eh just like MS's was eh. This MAG is kind of a disappointment to me really. They just kinda lost me when they said its not possible anywhere when Huxley is coming to the 360 which supports 200 ppl. I just don't like the image that MAg portrays. It kinda seems like they wanted to make another modern shooter and then cram 256 ppl into and call it revolutionary. GOW 3 was expected and thank god they announced that otherwise I would have been pretty disappointed (I dont own a PsP). PSP=full of win this E3! Im envious :)

Well this E3 was a bit lackluster IMO. Only thing left is Bungie's announcement tomorrow

Sony clearly won in term of content and what's on offer for their system.

Oh yeah, as far as movies and crap that I don't see how anyone could actually care about, Sony won in spades.

 

Are you a Nintendo , MS fanboy or do you just really hate Sony ?




Megaton =/= winning a conference.

FFXIII was big, but it's not exclusive, and there was no new trailer showed.

Mag is big, exclusive, and something new. Also Resistance 2 is looking awesome, etc.



so sonys confrence is finally over..... thank god for that.... i was starting to fall asleep zzzzzzz, and the E3 winner CLEARLY IS.......... microsoft final fantasy 13 coming to 360, gears 2 looking better and BETTER everytime.... PORTAL 2 exclusive to xbox 360..... origional N64 version of banjo and kazooie coming to xbox arcade... can now install games so sony fanboys cant say NOTHING about the 360s so called noisy fan... ps3 had erm???? a tiny god of war 3 trailer and MAG? ha ha ha

Again, I point to this video of Huxley:

Do you guys even keep up with these types of games?  Or do you blindly list them to counter other games?

@superchunk

Don't all MMOs have more than 256 players? Also, the 80Gb still doesn't have BC so...

Its the whole package.

256 players is way more than any console game has done before.
They showed a much better sequence of future games than anyone else.
80gb core ps3 one ups the 360 60gb announcement. For $50 you get 20 gb and bluray. yeah, much better deal.
DLC finally approaching what XBLive offers. Not quite as good, but definitely showing its gonna get there.

Sorry, as for a whole package, Sony did very well.

That is the perfect way to describe them.



WARNING - The following comments are made by a 360 fanboy

- I think the MMO is pretty cool for a console, nothing compared to real MMO's, but still pretty cool

- $400 80gig Price cut is also a good news.. I hope that will force MS to reconsider their price cut and lower all SKU's (including the new 60gig) by $50.

- Notice how no one is saying Sony is copying MS for bringing movies to the PSN.. how typical. Sure avatars are a complete ripoff of the Wii's and everyone will admit it.. but will anyone admit that the PSN is a complete ripoff of Xbox Live?

- Overall Sony's annoucements where good, but no where near as good as some of the fanatics on these forums proclaim

It's amazing how quickly PS3 owners go from FFXIII being the holy bastion of Playstation gaming logic, to whatever other thing they can hold on to.

Is everyone forgetting Huxley? Donnybrook? Yes, MS showed neither, but Sony just had a CG MAG trailer..We could see MS throw up one quick, and ship either a Donnybrook or Huxley before MAG does, with similar specs.

 

it WAS NOT CG. Seriously your acting like a fanboy today.
