Forums - Gaming - The winner of this E3

It depends on how you look at it.

Microsoft made an announcement (FFXIII) that prevents thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands of Xbox 360 owners not need a PS3, as MGS4 is the ONLY 3rd party exclusive left that is worth a care.

Nintendo showed the 1:1 that has tons of potential, but it looks like Nintendo didn't bother showing anythinng that will make it cool for core users. However, Wii Music + GTA + Wii Sports Resort (w/ WMP) will sell great, and make Nintendo hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sony announced games that we knew were going to come out, sans MAG. Who is MAG goin to cater to? The existing PS3 fanbase. And thats the issue. Sure, a Sony fan might say (and we've seen it) "OMG, SONY FOR TEH WINZ" and will buy 2-3 more games

So MS keeps a larger userbase for itself, Nintendo takes a larger casual userbase, and opens up great core possibilities with WMP and a viable strategy for distribution via Wii Sports Resort, and Sony......Sells a few more games?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Around the Network

im at a friends house so is there anywhere I can waatch this stuff on the net?

I also don't understand why everyone is so exited about having a game ported. It's not like MS really 1^'d anyone in the innovation department. They threw money at a developer as always and stole a game. Still no new exclusives.



I pretty much agree with the emerging consensus in this thread that nobody 'won' E3 by a grand margin. MS does get the edge for having the biggest surprise. I think Nintendo might have been able to steal the show if they hadn't released info on WiiMotionPlus before their keynote and if they'd brought a more core-oriented game (like Punch Out!! Wii) along with Wii Sports Resort to show off the potential of their new device. But they didn't, so the announcement fizzled a bit.

I would like to point out that the show isn't over yet. The hardware vendors or a 3rd party publisher might be keeping a bombshell hidden to go out with a bang.
