Every console is rehash city (developers want that, taking chances is risky), Nintendo just does it well with almost each one being legendary games.
I think the common feeling is that both conferences were average, I agree with that. I already knew all microsoft was going to show (just not the fine details) but Nintendo Metroid was a complete shock so that made up for a lot.
Both were a 6 or 7 at best. I expect Sony to offer a better conference, I think they have more first party titles to show and big ones.
