^Lol....

But its always the worst with Sony. Everyone expects them to have the best show the worlds seen, and when the real thing comes people are gutted even though Sony still put on a decent show

Sony normally steals the show out of the big three... how is it a decent show if Sony shows off more content and stuff than the others? Sony's press conferences are always awesomely setup.

Hum... this was not the case last year...

"

As for Sony, well, let's talk about Sony.

There is nothing I hate more than a foregone conclusion. Beneath every vicious (that is to say, factual) statement I have ever made regarding the company, there has existed the indubitable truth of their ultimate victory. This certainty extends, yea, deep inside the company itself, which is why they have done so little to earn your love. The rumble-free controller with built-in batteries, the one that turns off while you're updating your console every other week, that one that inexplicably loses signal from time to time but everyone is too chivalrous to discuss it, the one that is now obsolete because two years ago they tried to save money on something they knew they would have to pay anyway - this "six axis" is the icon of a system coasting on global brand inertia. Announcing features that your competitors have had for coming up on two years does not a riveting presentation make. Exclusive PSN content (like a movie length Ratchet and Clank game, or thatgamecompany's Flower) is still the company's most compelling asset."

LMFAO, Sony won last year easy. FFXIII's announcement for the 360 really wasnt even that massive of an announcement that fanboys made it out to be. Sony showed off and announced a ton of great games for this and upcoming years. So far most of them have been damn good and really creative, like Flower.

I disagree. I'd say Microsoft marginally beat out Sony last year. Even though their new game announcments were laughable, they had gameplay demonstrations for Gears 2, Fable II, Resident Evil 5, and Fallout 3. Plus, I'd be lying if I said that FFXIII multiplatform announcment wasn't the biggest headliner to come out of E3, even if it was a pretty insignificant announcment in the grand scheme of things.

Anyone who thinks the "FFXIII coming to the 360" announcement was not a big deal last year wasn't looking at too many message boards that day or during the following week. People were threatening to sell their PS3s, boycott all Sony products, and even just stop gaming completely. Some even went as far as to say that they wouldn't even buy the game because it was going multi plat and that MS was ruining the series.

Microsoft and Nintendo know that Sony is going to have a good E3. It's not like they're not paying attention. I don't think Nintendo takes Sony very seriously at this point, but MS definitely does. And I 100% guarantee you that MS is going to try to announce things this year that really shake up E3 and avert peoples' attention away from Sony.

While Sony has been announcing and hyping some of these upcoming titles for literally YEARS (meaning they're not going to be a huge surprise to anyone and may not even come out when they're supposed to) MS has kept things quiet on most games until they're REALISTICALLY close to being released. They said last year that they were anticipating a big 2009 for Sony as far as software releases and price drops. You can't honestly think they're not prepared for this. I'm sure they're very excited to unleash hell on Sony at E3. But in the end it's up to the gamers to decide who has a better show.
