Forums - Gaming - Media and Press who won E3

From the reaction of the people, it seems they had the best time at the sony conference. The nintendo one was so dead and quiet, I felt bad until they showed smg 2.

E3 has become more of a spectacle and less about boring "look at this demo"

Microsofts conference spanked the other 2 in spectacle, and it had enought substance to go toe to toe with both.

Natal left something to the immagination, which is a big plus. Sony's motion controls will be impressive but you know exactly what they can do and how they work, that is boring.

Nintendo on the other hand bored people with "profits" talk...
"Wii sells more 3rd party software" versus Paul Mcartney and Ringo Star? Err...why is anyone even discussing which conference was better?

Well yeah, if we're talking about presentation, then Nintendo is clearly deficient in that regard.

 

I figured that the game media was less shallow than that, though, and would focus on content. Content is how i judge Sony to be narrowly first place, ahead of Nintendo who is roughly equal to Microsoft.


What? MS clearly had the most content.  MS spent 2 hours on nearly all content.  No time for simple game announcements without preview/demo, no time for statistics.

Sony spent more time on games that have been announced for years than  anyone else. How many years ago was GT5 PSP announced? Hasnt it been since the PSP was announced?  GT5 PS3 still was just a short trailer. When will the actual game be shown?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Yeah the most content with multiplatform games.

Multiplats Sony showed - AC2, short ff13 trailer

Multiplats MS showed - RB beatles(Didn't they spend 20 minutes on this?), FF13, MGSR, ect ect.

Wasn;t their confrence only 1 hour and 30 minutes too?

What do you mean by that? Are you saying those are the only ones you remember? Or mentioning games that were announced but didn't show content? 'Cause they showed about 5 mins of gameplay for Alan Wake.

Those are 2 360 games which have been announced for quite some time as well.

Hyruken that's the silliest way to determine who won E3

The much better way is to just listen to your opinion, right?

It's totally cool if you didn't like MS's conference...but why is it so important to you to try to prove that your opinion is the only correct one?

On topic, I imagine the 1up and IGN's of the world will eventually get thier "who won" awards out as well.  From initial impressions, I'd guess that the majority go in the same order though, at least, that is the impression I've gotten from the sites I've read.
