Forums - Gaming - SONY WON E3 HANDS DOWN

I think some people are getting a bit carried away. Final Fantasy XII sold just over 5 million. Impressive? Yes. Earth-shatteringly amazing? No. Mario Party 8 has already sold more copies!

Final Fantasy XIII is a draw for the hardcore, but almost no-one else.

 

And yet whenever brought up the fact that FFXII only sold 5 million a few weeks ago they were hounded by Sony fans who said "Well the first FF always sells best (FF7, FF10)" 

Then yesterday people started bringing FFXII's sales back up.  Face it, over this weekend Sony fans expected FFXIII to be a massive AAA exclusive for them and sell over 10 million.  Then on Monday they realized they had to share it with the 360 and some people who already had a 360 suddenly have no reason to pick up a PS3.

Sony were the only company to show a major new game(s) that have never been revealed before. God of War III, MAG, DC Universe (apart from a few screens of CDU). Sony were the only company to announce a new big game which we didn't know about. It is kind of ironic, because everyone kept saying that Sony were the company that had shown all cards.

Microsoft had the biggest shock. 88 minutes of nothing special, then 2 minutes of pure gold. VGChartz (plus some other sites I think) died.

I would say it was pretty close as to who won it. Microsoft won it for shock factor. Sony won it for announcing new games.

 

 And when are they out?

Hell M$ could have showed CGi footage and talked about games that are a year or 2 away. But they chose to  stay in the now. 2008 what is important. Sony always try and talk about stuff in the future. Look at KZ2 and Home. We knew about those 2 years ago and they still not out. I expect the same from the titles mentioned today. If I owned a Ps3 I would be worried about my gaming for the next year.



Yes, OH NO PORTAL 2!!!!  That happens to be one of the most innovative games I've ever picked up...  That game is amazing, and any expansion would gobble up my hard earn dollars without a seconds hesitation.



Winning, imo, isn't about who talked about the most titles....

It's about the announcements.

To me, PS3 has 1, MAG, it sucked, and indeed it was very dissapointing. WTF who cares about movies on your freakin gaming console, thanks.

The 360 has 1, FFXIII is coming to the 360. Huge boon to 360 only owners, huge blow to PS3 owners. It is. Denial isn't acceptable in this situation. Just because you hate the game now(and were indifferent before) doesn't change the facts.

The Wii has 1, it was shown early and ruined, so really the Wii had 0. Motion Plus.


So we got FFXIII coming to 360

verses

MAG

=

lol, imo


Because yesterday everybody was selling their PS3, but now that MAG is announced, it's all OK, because MAG is worth owning a PS3 for.

I think we were all dissapointed in the PS3 conference. The difference is some of us just won't admit it.

what? im sorry but seriously what? Sony announced around 20 new titles. M$ announced what 5? Not very impressive now is it? Nintendo announced more games.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Microsoft won E3 easily.... a small trailer for god of war 3 with no in game footage and the announcment of MAG is simply not as good as microsoft getting final fantasy 13 and PORTAL 2 ......

 

 OH NO, NOT PORTAL 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

It would not be wise to Insult Portal...

 

well considering it isnt Portal 2 there is nothing to worry about. Just a port out of the Orange Box.

Sony easily won. Anyone who says otherwise is an ill-informed MS fanboy idiot.

 

Chill.  You are going way overboard.



overall the sony show was the best... all MS had was FFXIII at the end... its just because of that announcement that everyone is saying that MS won.... sony focused on games for this holiday season then at the end they debuted new games for 2009

I really dont feel like rewatching the entire press conference. Still there were games for the PSN, PSP, and PS3.

 

And please ripoffs like Lips really shouldnt count. Lips is a direct Singstar ripoff and it isnt new either.

Lol, nintendo fanboy? Those exist? Actually, I have more credit just by the admission that you are a Ninty fanboy. Sony won, but if you feel different, thats ok. I just don't know why people hate on Sony so much, even when they give the best showing for GAMERS.

 

Wow, you're a hateful fanboy in denial. I hope you enjoy MAG, and I hope 360 owners enjoy FFXIII. Both of those games were announced for those console owners this week.

Now, which one is a bigger announcement?

Hmm.

Let's see.

Oh wait, it's MAG.

 

Now, tell me about teh cell and how awesome it is. I want to hear.
