Forums - Sony - Sony E3 2007 conference thread

I love how the Nintendo fanboys can't argue that the E3 was better for Nintendo so keep going: 'predict sales!'.

Game quality easily for me beats sales. Do you get anything out of a company selling more? no, but you get from playing the games.

Sony delivered and my expectations were really high.

Hell the most Anti Sony people can't find much negative to say about this E3.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

At least the Nintendo guys are admitting that Sony had the best showing. I will forgive a little trolling, because I know I can do it sometimes.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Sony may have done a good job (considering the material they had) with this presentation, but still not good enough to get out the craphole they stuck themselves at.

Yeah that's how I think this plays for Sony overall.  Even if Sony had the best show they really needed to do a better job than that.  All they showed was that they are going to give MS one hell of a fight for 40 million or so hardcore segment.  They really needed to show they have an idea about how to capture the 100+ million market they used to dominate.

If sony delivered, Nintendo did as well: both showed new stuff from games we already knew.

Except that nintendo showed a new potential system seller, wii fit.

Wow, I just had a flashback to what Nintendo fanboys were saying 5 years ago.



3 PM PSN is supposed to get an update, I expect Lair and Heavenly Sword demos and Killlzone 2 and MGS 4 videos.

IMO Killzone was by far the most impressive game at E3. This game will make PS3 owners proud! Home also looked great!

Metal Gear Solid, Assassin's Creed, Haze and UT3 looked like promising 3rd party titles.

Hey, Mario has bee suit!! Did you not see Mario in the bee suit?  I'm guessing you did not because had you seen it there is no way you would be saying anything but Mario Galaxy was the best game.

In my subjective opinion I think Mario Galaxy was the best but I don't think anything is going to come close to Wii Fit in sales.  As for the PS3 I think LBP was the best game. Though I'm not a big FPS fan.



hehe i was just playing off kwaad always predicting ps3 sales to double after shows like GDC

sony had a good show but there was still little new shown, lots of nice trailers at the end tho and they have a strong first-party to take advantage of unlike MS who mostly showed third-party multiplats

summary: psp redesign and new colors. echochrome for psn. ut3, haze timed exclusives for the holidays. new infamous game. nice-looking mgs4, kz2 trailers but nothing new really shown about it. that's about it as far as games go. it basically wins by default.

compared to last year tho this year was great hehe. no memorable quotes this time around, sad.

Have you noticed which site you're at? That's right, a sales website. Does it surprise you that people discuss sales?
