I personally think it's pretty obvious. Sony cut throats and humped the corpses.
-
Sony created new orifices on the corpses of their enemies and then violated them.
-
Sony. But keep in mind that Sony is the best at making crap games look great, MS is the best at making great games look crap, and Nintendo just makes every game look the same.
-
PC Gaming wins by not having one.
-
sony made us early adopters happy for once.
-
Sony, though it was really more of a moral victory than anything else, it certainly has to feel good if you are them to actually be winning anything at the moment.
They'll still get absolutely creamed in sales this year. If they keep up this kind of work they will make a tidy profit on the machine if their ten year product cycle thing is really a honest remark.
-
Sony, but it won't make a damn bit of difference by next year's time because Microsoft and Nintendo will still outsell their ass. They might actually catch up to Microsoft a bit, but its moot.
-
Sony kicked ass, but it was still one of the worst E3's.
-
Nintendo did. Because they'll sell more software than the PS3 and the 360 COMBINED which will give you butthurt nerds SO much to cry about.

You're my favorite poster now :lol

As usual, the only defense of the Nintendo fan is NINTENDO WILL MAKE MORE MONEY! That is totally what gaming is about.
-
MS deserves to get its ass kicked. Their recent arrogant decisions have been leading them down the path that make Sony so hated. Nintendo deserves a good beating too. But it won't matter to the big N since they don't give a crap about E3 and they're still going to make more money than everyone.
-
Oh like the prettier coats of paint on the same ol' Playstation games is what gaming is about? Give me a fucking break.
-
Sony didn't say many unintentionally funny things as I hoped. :(
-
Sony in terms of what they brought, but none of those games -- excepting MGS4 -- are gonna dent MS in the hardcore market. Microsoft did a mediocre sales job, but Halo 3 + GTA4 + Madden 2008 + COD4 (with assists from Bioshock and Mass Effect) are gonna steamroll.
Nintendo shouldn't have even bothered. It's clear they aren't a videogaming company any more, but are back to their original novelty-shit-for-old-people business.
-

Well, I say gaming is about "the same ol PS games," you say it is about sales numbers and money. I think I am closer to the truth.

Replace that with Sony and sells for PS2 and PSONE and you have last generation, right?
-
Actually, the 360 moves far more games overall than the Wii now in a ratio that far outstrips the hardware ratio.

I definitely never said anything that ridiculous.
-
I'm going with Microsoft because they showed more exclusivo titles along with ther (superior) multiplats. But Sony did WAYYYYYY better than that debacle last year.

I really don't care how the games sell dude, Phantom Dust is my favorite game ever and
- it certainly wasn't a megaseller
- it was ONLY ON XBOX
So basically I'm just giving you chicken little, "NINTHINGS ARE RUINING GAMING!" crybabies a little noogie. Don't take it personal. Maybe you could make a shrine to me in your Sony Home (TM).

Sony Home is closer to gaming than Nintendo Aerobics!

the conference wars aren't about rational observations, demi; it's about who made you shit the most into your drawers.
microsoft left some solid skidmarks; sony is leaking down my legs; and nintendo kinda queefed or something.
-
Also, Microsoft showed live demos of their games instead of trailers (COD4, Assassin's Creed)

Then I still go for Microsoft, the XBLA library coupled with their current library had me sitting on towels so I could just carry my mess away.

CoD4 definitely gets the best graphics award, fo' sho'.

This is like the Metallica vote
Sony = Battery

I'm not looking at art direction and scripting; i'm looking at technical ability. CoD4 has insane geometry and the most advanced lighting model, and it's running at a stable 60 fucking FPS. Of all the games shown, it is probably the most demanding of the hardware.

AND A MULTIPLAYER BETA!

I definitely agree, outside of Crysis, which as always looks OMG TEXTURE ASSPLOSION based off the screens released today. That's a PC game anyway, a platform which is the total E3 sideshow (amazing how things have changed since the the ill-fated Atlanta E3s so long ago).
-
I agree that COD4 looked the most amazing. I want to play it NOW.
-
yeah, I don't compare consoles and PCs for obvious reasons.
-

I do when trolling GAF. Otherwise there's no point really.
CoD4 on the PC is going to totally own. The real FPS machine this year is, as always, the PC.
-
If you take away the PSP, then how did Sony fare against MS? Corny does have a point. Sony's games are pretty much the same games that they've always been making, just like Nintendo. I don't even see how Infamous was so surprising. Sony always has tons of 3rd-person action titles.

And that doesn't happen very often!

Point is, who wins E3 really doesn't matter for anything. It's just a showcasing of games for fanboy service. If Nintendo didn't unveil Mario Galaxy last year and waited to this to unveil it and announce a release date in a couple months out of nowhere, everyone would have went "OMG BEST E3 ever". Then throw in some SSB clips and unveiling Sonic as a character, give Wii Fit maybe 5, 6 minutes in the middle instead of the finale, and demo Mario Kart with 12 racers online or whatever there will be, and there's more "win". They definitely could have catered the presentations more to get approval of the hardcore if they wanted, but they didn't.
I don't get people saying because they showcase some Wii Fit game, instead of Mario Kart or SSB or whatever that they don't make "real" games anymore. They make as many as they ever have - on their typical pace of one console release per month with 2 per fall months. Nothing there has changed. This is no different than people bitching that Nintendo lost last year's E3 because they didn't unveil Mario Galaxy in a proper manner - obviously it didn't affect them a bit.
-
Dreamcast "won" E3 two years in a fucking row and look what THAT got them.
*pours a little out for the person dressed as Ulala*
-
it matters, because with the wii's shit last-gen hardware, they REALLY hafta work to make *me* want one.
-
I'm sure Nintendo is very concerned with your refusal to get on board, Drinky.
-
nintendo fanboys -- and you -- certainly are!

E3 CONFERENCE SUMMARY, one line per company:
Microsoft: "You know what we're doing this holiday season, it's no secret. Just buy our stuff and take our word that we'll kick butt in 2008."
Nintendo: "We don't make games anymore. Nfans, shut up and buy our shit, and don't complain."
Sony: "We aren't dead yet, nor are we nearly as distinguished mentally-challenged as our recent behavior indicates"
-
nintendo fanboys -- and you -- certainly are!
I just want you to stop bitching about Nintendo and play me at some fucking Phantom Dust.
Btw the only next-gen console I own is a 360 so I must not be THAT big of a Ninty fanboy

In that case, hurry up and get a Wii so you can start working on that ass. I want to be able to feel something.
-
Microsoft: "We're already cocky enough not to show 2008 games, and not announce a price drop, even though Nintendo is kicking our ass with non-games for overweight moms.
Nintendo: "Miyamoto is now a gay housewife, see?"
Sony: "The good shit is coming, just wait - you can't afford it quite yet anyway."
-
loathing nintendo is in my blood, ginger whinger.
as for phantom dust, when are you usually on XBL, nigra? i'll ping you one of these evenings and we can settle this like two sloppy internet nerds. :punch
-

Oh you'll feel something, pal.
-
I just got Phantom Dust thanks to Jive Turkey giving me the hookup... only played for like 10 min though, why isn't it 16:9 :(
I need to watch the MS conference tonite, based on the game titles that look interesting to me, I'd say MS wins though by far!

E3 Conference Performance Per Console Manufacturer as Represented by EB Emoticons
Microsoft: :burgerking :tophat :burgerking
Sony: :shh :gun :rock
Nintendo: :hurr :santocry :hurr
-
There is no way Sony made ME as an early adopter happy. Their E3 crap didnt change the fact that I spent 800 dollars in all to wait this long for any glimmer of HOPE.
Microsoft has been a solid performer aside from the hardware issues, which they HAVE addressed with warantee extensions as well as a planned retrofit of the 360 design. Asking for more is foolish and born from a desire to troll.
Also, Killzone 2 will probably suck like the original did, but it will be PRETTY so I spose that counts rite? lol

Don't you and TVC both work at MS? They should give you a promotion and fire TVC's disloyal ass.
-
No I just enjoy my 360 a lot, what Drinky and TVC like is of no consequence. I own like 15 360 games and 20 xbla games, use it to stream media from my media center pc, watch movies from time to time, download a few national geographic shows. PS3 has literally done nothing except let me play an inferior version of VF5, play MLB 07 The Show and Stardust HD. I just dont see how Sony can "win" in my eyes until I have something tangible in my hands.
-
this is about conferences "winning," not whether or not the consoles they represent have any potential for a win!

So it's kinda like comparing trailers instead of actual films, rite? Especially since almost nobody gets to play games anymore at E3. All this money and attention for a trailer festival? LOL.
-
exactly. THE MORE YOU KNOW (tm). i only wish that conference impact had even a marginal effect on the market, because then i'd never hafta hear about the wii again!
-
E3 sux, PAX is a better
-
i totally forgot about e3 until willco pinged me late last night.

Why are you using Mario grammar?

IM A CLOSET WII FANBOY!

It's pretty bad that Sony won with a JACK TRETTON led conference.
Anyways, to continue the trend:
Microsoft: "We've got the shit this year fuckers, and we have bigger market share for the moment. Buy this shit now."
Nintendo: "We've got something for everyone, but outside of some release dates not much to see here folks. Oh yeah, more women and old people play Wii."
Sony: "Here's HOME. Here's Killzone 2. Here's Infamous. Here's some other kickass games. Here's Kojima. Here's MGS4 (game of 2008 nominee predicted easily). Here's what we can do, which no one else can. Now PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY OUR SHIT."
All three conferences were decent, with Sony's being the clear winner. I would have to place Nintendo in last, even though it was still amusing, and I got my much needed release dates, but it was probably in last place. Seriously, while Microsoft had it's boring points, what really was boring was Iwata going on for like 15 minutes about Nintendo's changing focus. Jesus, we know this for fuck's sake.
Sony basically made me happy I purchased a PS3. This is definitely what they needed to do, and hopefully with the price drop they will regain some market share this gen. I will say this once more: they've got the system to do it. They have the capabilities to fucking own everyone, they just need the customers. PS3's are more dependable and make 360's looks like shit in about every category except online and (which is rapidly changing with shit like Killzone 2 looking pretty good and Infamous coming out of nowhere) desired exclusives.
It will be interesting to see where we are standing this time next year.

He'll love it when they announce the TV series Matlock exclusively on Blu-Ray. You know it's coming!
Seriously, though, I'm sure he'll find some stuff he likes to play on it over the next few years. He's got a wide array of tastes.

You can always watch trailers and reboot your router some more.

Quit drinking so much and you'll be fine. Even Wii baseball will be good for you since the only sport you play is MLB07.

I agree that they could of-but it would have been on the back of 2008 games-Banjo, Alan Wake, a unannounced game trailer or two from another 1st party studio-that would have put them over the top.
-
I just hate waiting after spending so much. I knew it was foolish at the time, but this far down the road it just stings my pride.
-
Lair looks awesome, though the fact we didn't see it in the Sony conference isn't a good sign.

There's an E3 trailer for it up on the store, suggesting that it's playable at the show. I'm sure we'll get impressions on it pretty soon.
-
Sony, even though there are hardly any games I truly want to play on THAT system other than MGS4 and Ratchet and Clank.
Nintendo was last simply cause it was boring. They could've talked about A LOT of the shit that came out with their press release, but they devoted a half hour to WiiFit–something ultimately that the E3 gamer community couldn't give a shit about. Save that stuff for your own Media Summit. I wanted more virtual console stuff, some WiiWare stuff, and more channels, but nay. We still saw the big three, so that made me happy.
Microsoft was in the middle. They have all the games I want to pay, but it was semi-boring.

Hey guys. Let's be real here. At this year's E3 conference, we were ALL winners. ;)

I know someone that played a near final version of it about a month ago. While doing his preview writeup, he got yelled at for being too negative about the game. It is apparently pretty, but not any good.
-

No, we're not. At last year's E3, I got to see lots of big boobs and play lots of games. This year all I get is a bunch of trailers and PR talk from non-gaming executives.
-
sony, they actually showed new games.
Infamous looked awesome.
