Nintendo won because Sony and Microsoft showed their motion controllers/cameras. By that they admitted that this (motion controlled games) is the next step for gaming and that the current PS3 and 360 aren't competitive enough in the marketplace. Unfortunately they didn't have any games to show for it. Meanwhile Nintendo not only has two and a half years of already existing games for their platform, their new technology Wii Motion Plus is going to be released next week with Wii Sports Resort following next month which should increase their already existing huge advantage in motion controlled games even more. Sony and Microsoft are so far behind a trend that started three years ago that they will never catch up during this generation. I don't even know how someone could argue that Sony or Microsoft somehow won this E3 unless several qualifiers are set in place to marginalize what Nintendo has done over the past few years. Yes, you can always say that one company had the best announcements because they cater the most to your preferences, but when it comes to the big picture, the future of this industry, then it's definitely Nintendo who gained the most at this year's E3. In previous years we saw two clearly different approaches between the Wii and the HD consoles. Now Nintendo is moving further in the direction they went all along while Sony and Microsoft are following. |
How did you figure that they admitted motion control is the next step? Wii is simply getting a lot of money and marketshare from expanded audience gamers. Sony and MS want a piece of that, just as Nintendo wants a piece of HD revenue. Just focusing on the logic itself, these toys aren't even standards, but additions which shows that neither Sony nor MS want to leave the normal gaming environment.
In your second paragraph you are saying that Sony and MS lost this conference 3 years ago? Those announcements about motion control are probably, what I consider at least, to be the least of their announcements this E3.
And in paragraph 3 you become Malstrom. I've told you this hundreds of times before Rol. Nobody cares about games, they care about the industry and who will make the most money.
