  1. 1. Which was the best 1st party conference for you?



Recommended Posts

I would say Nintendo with Sony and Microsoft equally failing at everything

Mind you I do not own Wii but own both 360 and PS3 but Nintendo's presentation was way better than both

I say Nintendo > Microsoft > Sony

Nintendo just blew everyone away and got the best with the 3DS. Beating all competition. It looks even better than the big consoles.

Microsoft did a good job with the 360 Slim (Getting it!) and Kinect which just looks awesome.

Too me, Sony did the worst Job. Revealing bad games, then showing off their Copy of the WiiMote + Nunchuck with a kiddy light ball stuck on top. Stating it's getting released before Kinect (But Kinect will soooo sell way more).

So, sony ruined E3 in my opinion. Why go to E3 when you reveal copys of something out for 3 years.

I didn't see Nintendo's conference, but I think it's safe to say Sony's was better than Microsoft's.

Microsoft had the new XBox, but Sony has Valve on their side now, some pretty good games, and Move (although still showing input lag) support with better games than Kinect.

Sony and Microsoft did good jobs pushing their brands forward. Both have clearly settled on a stratagy and did decent enough jobs setting it in motion.

However, if you didn't find ONE thing to absolutely fall in love with during Nintendo's conference, you my friend, hate fun.

Sony's felt too long and lost my interest about 30 minutes into.. At that point I had it up in the background. They had the best stage appearance but the presentation was meh.

I'd say: Microsoft > Nintendo > Sony.

I would say Sony simply because of Twisted Metal, Portal 2. But I wanted much more such as FF Versus 13, Agent and Last Guardian.

Ninty wins, though for the new Zelda and the 3DS.

Nintendo has had value on their side for users then. The move is a Wii Copy.

to be fair, Sony has "valve on their side" except valve's been making Microsoft-based games for decades now... Steam coming to the PS3 is a compensation for Sony's already poor post-release product handling. It's going to be NICE, but Valve didn't come out to bat for Sony in any real and impactful way other then that they're going to be delivering a product that could/maybe/possibly be on the level/slightly above the Microsoft product. Not saying that Valve isn't a big deal mind you, but there's no way Valve's going to be dealing any remote insult to their Microsoft/windows base.

I was sure Sony would have really been touting Agent and the Last Guardian after mentioning them at last E3. At least the Agent got a few moments in the montage video.

I'd say MS and Sony were about even. Nintendo's seemed lackluster, and had hardly any games to show off compared to MS and Sony. Wii Party and Just Dance? Gimme a break! I'll be buying the new Zelda, Metroid, and Donkey Kong, but most of everything else is meh. If you need to reassure people that the Wii isn't waning, then you're already in trouble. Mind you, I do love my Wii.

and?

tons of stuff have either been ripped or inspired through each console, Are you gonna say Sony copied Atari for using a control pad next?

It can be regarded as a Wii copy, but the selling point for me is that it not only reaches out to the casual gamer, but the more hardcore gamer as well with first-person shooters and the like. This is something that Kinect doesn't do (unless I missed something); most of the games looks rather childish to me.

Investing in Move costs less than buying a Wii anyway and it's more accurate, so it's a win-win in my opinion. I'm just going to have to try it myself before I buy anything though, because if the input lag is as noticeable as it was during the conference, I'll probably avoid buying it.

I enjoyed Nintys the most. To the point, demoed what they wanted to demo announced things which makes the child inside me splurge with joy. Sony- while being 40 mins too long. Appears they STILL didn't learn from last year had the most hardcore content and KB makes anything awesome. MS I almost flicked off I have no interest for the BRODUDE shooters they keep cranking out and Natal (seriously still don't know how to spell the new name) has no games for me they all looked like shovelware. 360 did give one thing...

1. Nintendo

2. Sony

3. Microsoft

I'd say Microsoft and Sony were the closest two because there wasn't really anything substantial announced at either (IMO), but Nintendo really did some nice things with the 3DS. Not needing glasses is huge for me. It's a step in the right direction of the technology. If they hadn't announced that, I honestly think they may have been the worst conference. Microsoft and Sony both had some nice stuff if you owned their consoles, but nothing major -- yet.

It'll be interesting to see how Kinect and Move do. I personally think Kinect is a bit more unique and will have a better shot with families given how Microsoft is marketing it, and honestly, Move seems like more of a slap-on for some games. I don't think they should try to implement it into games where you use the controller -- same with Kinect. I think they need to be made exclusively for the unique controller (or lack of controller, in Kinect's case) in mind. They need to do more unique things with Move, but it could be good... just seems like they fell asleep thinking Microsoft wouldn't do much with it.

Sony definitely had more exclusive game announcements than Microsoft, though, which is why I'd put them ahead of Microsoft. Because their exclusives did look really nice and, for the most part, haven't been seen.

Poll should have more options, either three options for 1st/2nd/3rd, or just a bunch of "Nintendo > Sony > Microsoft" "Nintendo > Microsoft > Sony" etc options.

Though for me this year was surprisingly, Nintendo > Sony > Microsoft.

Best thing about E3 are the crazy gifs that come out of it, lol.

Sony has some awesome games this year. Microsoft has the new 360 plus the best motion controller (none) and Wii has the most awesome set of games (in relation to current Wii)
