Nintendo shows off Wii Remote - C Nintendo shows off Wii Balance Board - C Nintendo shows off WM+ with possibly best games announcement in a long time - C Microsoft shows their motion control Natal - A+++++++++++ Sony shows off their motion control with wand thingy - A+++++++++++ That is just crap and their scores are crap. At least try to be fair. Nintendo shows motion controls and everyone laughs and says it is stupid, but then turn around and praise the ground the competitors walk on even though they are late to the game. Even if you want to argue that there aren't many games for the balance board, we have the same exact argument for Microsoft and Sony. In my mind E3 went like this MS=Nintendo>Sony. Mostly for the following reasons. You can take your pick on who "won" but Ninty and MS both offered a lot of new stuff for gamers. Personally I choose Ninty since I own the console Microsoft shows off some stuff we didn't know about + new hardware that has lots of vision even if I thought it was too early to show off (lack of gamers games to show the public). Nintendo demoed their WM+ which is coming out now, plus they announced 2 Wii Marios at the same time. People have been asking for a 2D console mario since Mario 64 came out and they finally delivered. Very solid showing overall with new software. The vitality sensor was weird, but in no way destroys the show. Sony had only FFIV to announce and that is an MMO which generally is not liked by the FF crowd. Their motion control is also in a hugely primitive state and also has no gamers games to show off to the public. So much stuff was leaked that most of their show was a repeat of things we had already heard. Had they not leaked everything I would probably rank them a lot higher. I couldn't have put it better myself. Nintendo has been getting nothing but shit from the core and the gaming media for 3 years for "waggle", "looking stupid while playing games", "casual waggling" and the like. Microsoft (and to a lower extent, Sony) comes up with full-body waggling where you most definitely can look stupid while playing, with no core motion-controlled games being shown, and suddenly everyone's happy and calling it the "future of gaming". Even though the demos didn't work particularly well, including some loltastic parts both in MS's and Sony's demos. Let's face it, the gaming media simply doesn't like Nintendo and they're happy that Microsoft has a potential "wii-killer" (lol) in their hands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't like Nintendo, but I agree here. I personally think that waggle alone makes you look stupid. Project Natal? You'll look like you have Downs' Syndrome

Media and Press dont lie. They know the industry much better than  any of us do, and they clearly say Nintendo had the worst show. Just face with it.

Do they really know better than any of us?

Didnt the media say they were the worst last year too? Than why would twice as many people purchase a wii than the closest competitor after E3.

Face it the media sucks. They obviously aren't the voice of majority

seriously people. The conference is less so about presentation, more so about delivering the goods, and the company that did it best this year was most definitely Sony.

-Sony had the GAMES:The Last Guardian, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, Demon's Soul, Mod Nation Racing, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank ACIT, AGENT the exclusive R* game, Final Fantasy XIV console exclusive as well as a plethora of other stuff for PS3.

Not to forget the PSP with Assassin's Creed:Bloodlines,Fat Princess PSP, Pixel Junk, Dissidia, LBP Portable, Motor Storm AE, Tekken 6, Soul Caliber, Unbound, and the motherload game that had people run out and get a PSP from the beginning, GRAN TURISMO PSP! Also revealed MGS Peace Walker, the true next iteration in the series as stated by kojima.

-Sony unveiled a the PSP GO(while I am not particularly thrilled with it someone will be.)

-Sony crushed the idea of Lost Planet 2 exclusivity during their conference.

-Sony unveiled a working version of their motion controller with a few new tech pieces. I cannot see how people are going gaga over the Natal when the Eyetoy was here first doing the same damn thing. The presentation for the PS3 one really proved that hardcore gamers could have fun with it as well.

-We found out that MGSR was multiplatform title, not a kojima game, and is just a spin off of the series to please MS. This totally killed the thrill of this being presented at MS's conf, making it fall way below the FFXIII announcement, almost to the point of no one caring about it.

The only failing of the Sony conference was it's presentation, because even I must admit to it dragging at a few points. Yet that was mostly because many of the Sony presenters were Japanese and needed translators which caused long awkward pauses. MS did very good in this respect and kept their momentum.

Exactly Forevercloud.

The media is like a kid. Flash a shiny coin in front of him and he'll be mesmerized.

The shiny coin being Spielberg, Ringo, George, Ono, the scripted trailer of NATAL, and the scripted trailer of Milo.

I know I probably can't really change anyone's mind..but I will never stop trying to make the world a better place XD

It is just dumbfounding to see people praising the Natal in particular. Then some have the audacity to say that the Natal looks more innovative/better then the PSEye.....
