compared to sony's?

I agree...for the Uncharted 2...as soon as the video started with Drake on the roof...the audience started clapping and wooing

I mean..why go to E3 if you're not going to get excited over anything (especially something as big as another Metroid and Mario game)

More like different perspectives of the same presentation -

I viewed it from the eyes of an industry member seeing what Sony was offering, bringing to the market, indifferent at first. I truly felt embarassed for Sony during the whole Wii-mote rip off device. It was hard to watch, made me feel bad for them overall.

You viewed it from the perspective of a Sony fan, you went in with hopes and dreams that Sony would overtake the market and reign supreme again. Anything that they presented was amazing news to you.

Putting it into a different mode, its like an adult and a kid at Disney World - the adult sees the rides and prices of admission, food, etc. The kid sees it as the most magical place in the world, full of wonder and awe.

Well, you don't have ME to blame--I clapped my hands numb at both!

This.

Everybody was waiting for Zelda, so nothing else mattered. If they'd have announced Zelda first off, then went along with the other stuff, everybody'd have been excited, pumped about the Nintendo offerings, and good times would have been had.

For better or worse, this is true. People go in to the Nintendo conference with certain, very specific expectations. If those very specific expectations are not meant, then woe be unto Nintendo. Even if something just as good is announced (in this case, two things just as big), it's not what they wanted.

The media wants megatons, but above all they want their megatons.

What is it with childish comments like the above?

They announce four new major games for Wii all of which have the potential to be great fun and they expand on what we know of Resort. They look like a varied bunch of games that are enjoyable to play unless you are some form of regressed child-human that thinks they are mature but makes pathetically negative comments based on prejudice and narrow-mindedness.

They also announce some new DS games like Golden Sun and a host of other interesting shots of games we know very little about.

Personally I was very excited, but not so by the MS and Sony ones, but that is because I haven't got those machines and so wouldn't care. It doesn't mean I am going to say they only had 1 or 2 good games or slag them off or call them worse than the Nintendo announcements.

The sensor has applications for some people that are using the Wii for the exercises and could be used in games (but I doubt it myself). It's obviously not designed with the 'gamer' market itself in mind, but for the new fitness audience in the market some of which do happen to be gamers as well.

Therefore it is only 'laughable' from a narrow and subjective perspective which is intellectually deficient and unable to look past it's own world view.

Good to see people posting well-reasoned comments. It shows that some of the gamer community can see outside of their own world view, expectations, hopes and fears. Funny that people can be scared of another system selling well really. I'm glad MS and Sony have come around to developing motiony input devices as it is an exciting time for gaming.

Sony audience was fantastic. We had cheers and giggles for MGS PSP, The motion controllers (those guys were genuinely funny to me) and of course, Hannah Montana
