Look long and hard into the mirror and you will find the answer, whether you want to accept it or not . . . |
Sorry we're questioning the almighty and divine wisdom of the sainted. Their divinity will be acknowledged. But not right now
Anyhoo, what is the deal? If you look at it from a pure prospective of content, i think that a clear Sony > Nintendo = Microsoft lineup appears. And that's coming from someone who has never owned anything other than Nintendo consoles
Unless they're judging it in terms of presentation, but that's just stupid. The content that comes out is what should matter.

Nobody said that. They were there and actually played stuff while we sat and watched from afar. I just think its pretty small to dismiss the conclusions they came to just because those conclusions don't gel with what we feel.
As for judging content, that's really subjective. MS spent 2 hours on one console and it was still barely enough time. Nintendo and Sony split their's between 2 consoles (with a tiny bit of PS2 thrown in) in a similar amount of time. Games were announced and shown (most with a 2010 date . . . ) by all 3, new technology was shown and demonstrated, etc. So whichever showed games you were interested in would likely lean you toward that particular show's content.
Presentation matters too, as it is a press conference not a board meeting.
But, in the end, if we're talking Best of E3 as a whole, the conclusions of those that were actually there dwarf anything we have to say. Like Vietnam, we don't know, man. WE WEREN'T THERE, MAN.
