Forums - Gaming - N'Gai Croal and Pachter: Sony the worst of the big 3 at E3?

Sqrl on 19 July 2008

When asked to grade all three companies based on their press conferences at E3 Michael Pachter and N'Gai Croal felt that it was Sony who was the worst recieving a "B-" from Pachter and a "C" from N'Gai Croal.  Sited reasoning includes too much focus on PS2, not fully leveraging the PS3's lineup, and too much focus on games we already knew about.

Part 1:

Part 2:

 

According to their grades Nintendo came in second and Microsoft took home top prize, check out the videos above for details.

PS - No fanboy meltdowns please

Still discussing this?

Whoever "wins" will change from person to person. It's all opinon.

Agreed. Now, can we all agree to disagree?

Of course its opinion guys, I'm not asking people to fight it out to the death to decide who the winner is. These are two well known people in the gaming industry and they gave their opinion. If you're not interested in their opinion or the discussion then no problem, you don't have to post.

err...what?

What did the 360 announce exactly? (aside from a Multi-Platform game)

At least with the PS3 we got a confirmed GoW3 and some intriguing PSN games.

i dont really care what anyalysts say, i only care what i think of E3, and i thought sony did well, little big planet will be one of the best games of this gen.

Don't ask me, part of the reason I pointed it out was because I felt they were a bit harsh on Sony, especially the C from N'Gai.

I dunno... Sony was pretty unimpressive. Nintendo sucked from an hardcore gamer standpoint but great for the expanded audience and Microsoft had a huge bomb. Sony bored us with PS2 news and other not so significant things. The end with the 2 trailers was better of course but only for existing Sony fans. I think Sony focused a lot on its on studios and that may be a smart move on them but that's not what impress non Sony fans.

Wow. Those were the two most intelligent assessments I've ever heard from either N'Gai or from Pachter. Did something happen to them? Bizzaro World.
