E3’s major announcements have been made, and observers are busily trying to work out just who “won” the event – most indications seem to suggest Nintendo dominating or at worst tying with Sony.
From some western gaming forum sources, as picked up on by 2ch:
From Nico:
1. Microsoft – 4.8%
2. Nintendo – 81.3%
3. Sony – 1.7%
4. They all sucked – 12.2%
The reasons for Microsoft’s literal release circus being ill-received are obvious, although just why Sony’s pathetically anemic announcements of the PS3mote and the marvelous news that PSN users can finally pay for access proved so impressive to western ears is not clear – manly Killzone action was perhaps the clincher.
Nintendo on the other hand presented an undeniably impressive lineup to go with its 3DS announcement, enthusing Japanese in particular.

My opinion:
- Microsoft: sucked ass. Didn't announce any new games we hadn't heard about yet, except Codename Kingdom. Kinect had only 1 interesting game: the Rez sequel. Big failure.
- Nintendo: great conference. They announced game after game, most of which are going to come out this year. The 3DS also seems interesting with many games that interest me.
- Sony: pretty average. Not a whole lot of announcements. Too much focus on 3D even though no one has such a TV. Heroes on the move, Sorcery, the shooting game and Twisted Metal... These games don't appeal to me at all (except for the last one). The price of Move is insane ($50 for the Move itself, $30 for the naviagtion thing + the camera).
i'm a total M$ fanboy and PSP fanboy but Nintendo blew me away this year. I'm eager to get my hands on everything they showed. Except kirby which is teh ghey.
why cant anyone say that nintendo won because of the most =O showings, the sony stuff was just too obvious, a stupid 10 year old could predict sequels from the blockbusters dah.
And Nintendo did more =O because it grabbed us by the ass and revived old franchises, soooo
The diference here is that sony bets on its recent stuff and nintendo does it with the old.
And fuck that sony jiji thats why i hate sony soo goddamn cocky.
loool if nintendo made tv's sony would be in much deep shit, reminded that sony doesnt live only from the ps3.
i dont have anything to say about microsoft ... its just bah ... thank Cloud that valve is developing for apple and i wish they all follow the example and stop making games for crapy bill gates bug central... for Cloud's sake even the xbox has bugs ...
Uncharted 2 and Halo 3 are your big arguments for console based gaming? Good fucking grief Charlie Brown, the whole gaming industry needs to be shut down now if that's the case.
hello? zelda, golden eye, donky kong, mario sports, kirby? they were all news of new games for the wii
^ You sir deserve one internet ^^
Everyone makes it sounds like GB owns everything. :V
Well, maybe it's not a complete lie?
What is the source of this "western gaming forums"? Is it Gamespot? Ign? Any other main gaming sites of note?
Only 323 votes in the poll? What kind of crap website has only so few votes. Oh yeah, probably some no-name Nintendo fanboy forums. Hahaha
that pie-chart looks like a pacman. And guess who is about to be eaten.
I give you 200 internets, sir.
Because Move and Kinect re old news
So the Japanese are fawning over Nintendo.
Anyone surprised by this raise your hand.
No hands eh? Shocker. In any event, the 3DS looks awesome, but we all knew Nintendo would dominate the handheld market. Nintendo however is going to be fighting tooth and nail with Sony and Microsuck for the console market and that's going to be the interesting fight
lol fighting over fps games...........didn't see much jrpgs or action games.
That was the first thought in my mind once I saw the 3DS!
Nintendo clearly won by a long shot, while neither Sony nor Microsoft showcased jack squat. Actually, Microsoft did show off their new ugly trimmed down system, but as with all XBOX360 news, the only thing anyone cares about is that system isn't suicidal anymore.
the suckest was M$ nuff said i don't know that kinect could fail so big...
I concur that Microsoft's E3 PC was by far their worse, not just out of the "big three" but of all time.
Can't quite tell which one was the best because I didn't sit through the entirety of either Nintendo's or Sony's, just watched the former's first part and the latter's last couple minutes, so I missed the 3DS debut and the paid PSN's announcement, although I catched the exclusives to Portal 2, the new Assassin's Creed and Mafia II, and the new Twisted Metal looked mighty good.
Sony '06 and Nintendo '08 say hi!
Sony Bravia 3D TV... 5000$
Sony Playstation 3 Move bundle... 400$
Sony 3D glasses... 160$
Sony stealing their fan's money... Priceless
I'm interested in Gears 3. Truth be told, I liked the campaign of the first 2. Kept me interested the entire way. It was much better than Halo. I wasn't happy at all with Halo 3 or ODST so why would I care about Halo Reach?
The rest of the show was stuff for Natal. I'm not interested in Natal and that fucking little girl demonstrating Kinectimals grinds my gears TO THE MAX. And it's not because she named a tiger Skittles, though it doesn't help.
There was also a lot of fake acting. Who were they trying to fool exactly? It's a presentation! Don't act like it's not!
i've been following handheld nintendo GB>GBC>GBA>GBASP>NDS>NDSL>NDSi
I stopped at DSiXL since it was just a bigger DSi.
3DS is the next thing!
And I'm going to buy the Kinect. It looks very interesting, nonetheless. I don't know why it suddenly needs to be bashed on so hard.
Nintendo announced 3DS and a number of games.
Microsoft announced New 360 Model and a number of games, and Kinect.
Sony went into detail about PSMove and a number of games, and re-announced commercialism for the PSP.
To be honest, from what was presented and what is planned by these three majoring competitors, I think Sony is going to have the hardest time keeping up. As much as it's denied, the Move is pretty much the same as the Wii controller. My bias view on this is that Sony's trying to get people to eliminate the Wii as an option by doing what they're doing. I honestly think it's going to be a fail.
The new Nintendo 3DS is definitely going to sell. The new LCD technology is finally being brought to gaming, and to think it went hand-held first! This will not just sell, it will probably be revolutionary.
The new 360's sole purpose is to eliminate the ever-so-common RRoD overheating problem. I'm sure that with the high amount of physical cooling improvements, they will succeed. The Kinect will be a revolutionary change for User Interface control for entertainment, and gaming. The featured possibilities surpass the abilities of the other consoles.
Meh.

PCfag much?
"No hands eh? Shocker. In any event, the 3DS looks awesome, but we all knew Nintendo would dominate the handheld market. Nintendo however is going to be fighting tooth and nail with Sony and Microsuck for the console market and that's going to be the interesting fight"
I hope you're not talking about sales...
I think it just depends on what you like.
M$ = The same exclusives, that you know will be remade over, and over again. Mainly Halo, and Gears they will Milk that Shit!
Nintendo = Most of the same Exclusives, Marios, Zeldas, Metroids, etc. But Nintendo usually brings something new to each one, that makes it different from previous titles unlike M$ in my oppinion and usually builds games from the ground up. The 3DS was fawking awesome, anyone who says otherwise with it's game lineup GTFO! The only problem with the Nintendo thing is the online. It just needs a new online like either xbox live or psn and it will rape faces.
PS3 = They are trying different technologies with the Wii Rip off mote which actually from what has been stated is superior to the Wii's motion controls. Don't hate on it just because they are trying to improve on it, even if I my self hate motion controls. As for them going 3D it's something neither console has done. Even if 3DS will be a 3D handheld.
360+PS3 = both have games, that are impressive nintendo won't be receiving because of the Wii's capabilities.
-Mortal Kombat
-Dead Space 2
-Trinity Universe (ps3)
-Silent Hill 8
-Crysis 2
-KillZone 3 (ps3)
-Metal Gear Solid Rising
-Blazblue CS
-Splatterhouse
-Dead Rising 2
-FEAR 3
-Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood
-Little Big Planet 2 (PS3)
-Portal 2 (fuck yeah!)
-Castlevania (Hideo's!)
-Batman Arkham Ayslum 2
-Bioshock 3
-Atelier Rorona
So guess what guys Nintendo isn't the only one who got them games! lol
Sony 43%?
LOL
Total bullshit. Nintendo clearly took the fav...Sony wasn't even half as good as MS. They didn't show SHIT.
True. They did only show three things but you have to admit, the technology behind Natal is pretty impressive. Even if it does bomb as a gaming device it will be applied to something else. This is Microsoft after all and they can always build it into the latest OS with computers specially made to use them.

Big E3 conferences in a nutshell.
Nintendo won. Deal with it.
Did nintendo forgot they have another console too? I didn't saw any news for Wii
Nintendo is still keeping Japanese games JAPANESE where as Sony is westernizing everything.
We wanted games, and Nintendo gave us more than we can chew. The Sony Conference was quite impressive as well. 2010 is going to be a great year for gaming.
you know, i watched the microsoft press live, and i wish i would have just gone to sleep, did they ever blow balls.
here are what, 4 shooting games and fable which is no longer an rpg (peter said that himself in an interview) i honestly couldn't give a shit about any of the games besides rising, and than, go out casual the last 3 years of Nintendo conferences... wow.
i actually said this right after it. i wonder whose press con will be more casual Microsoft nor Nintendo. and i was banking on sony for the awesome this year.
than nintendo, it had a strong start, and the whole fucking time i was wondering, when the casual circlejerk was coming. and it never came, sure they took a few minutes here and there for casual games, but nothing i couldnt handle.
and than sony, see the only way sony was going to win was to game after game that i liked, but they had fucking skits, and allot... they were funny, but i dont give a fuck about funny, i want awesome. that said, the valve thing was hilarious, "the vp of sharpening things"
realy the only way sony was kicking nintendos ass is to show off a refined sword fighting game.
but wht the fuck sony?
i have watched videos, i have seen games require 2 ball controllers, and the ball controller only comes with 1? and the stick controller is separate? i didn't even know there were 2 kinds, i just thought that some games didn't require a ball so they took it off for them.
and the fact its 50-60$ for 1 controller, and probably 80 for 2 balls and a stick, pisses me off to, with not games bundles, (or i missed something)
microsoft 2 out of 10 (2 for the riseing awesomeness)
sony 7 out of 10 (less skits, more games next year)
nintendo 9 out of 10 (only because i cant see the 3d effects over the internet)
Gears 3 and Halo Reach certainly are not pea-shooter shooter games. They're some of the biggest games of the industry and they look fun. I do think they wasted too much time pretty-ing up Kinect, but the core games are there. Also, it's not like 360 is devoid of games. A lot of awesome stuff on the 3rd party side for both 360 and PS3.
Consinder that EA partner with Sony and Microsoft partner with Activison.
I am guessing Nintendo Partner up with Capcom or Sega?
Nintendo 3ds look's cool but I want to know about the graphic speed if an actual game really smooth movement.
I loled before i could open this page, but having a 12% on "they all suck" is a bad thing, which is true, day 1-2 of E3 really blew balls, Nintendo had to save E3.
>The WORST the WORST not the best the "WORST!"
It took me so freaking long to figure out what this was saying. Punctuation is a useful tool, children.
English has punctuation?
According to Yahtzee, no.
Nintendo Owned E3 :D though Sony would have won if they partnered with konami to do a zone of the enders 3 collaboration and a Final fantasy Versus XIII gameplay would be nice still tokyo gaming show is around the corner :)
I think the PlayStation brand will no longer exist when ZOE3 comes out for the XBox 360.
lol no just no zone of the enders will be exclusive for the ps3 as long as Sony collaborates the same way as they did in MGS4. then u could dream ZOE for the xbox same as dreaming for MGS4.
This article is flawed.. PSN users won't have to pay for access.. people are stupid if they think that, everything thats free right now will remain free.. PSN plus will be a subscription on top of that which will give exclusive demos, betas, free games, and much more.. The only reason people are going crazy over the 3ds is because they haven't actually seen it up close and how glitchy it can be.. The "3d" has a very small sweet spot in which it works.. I guarantee once most of you get your hands on it you'll think differently
I for one don't care too much about the 3D, when I get one the switch will probably stay off. I'm just impressed by the graphical capabilities of it.
Microsoft during E3:
The game demo controlled the "testers" instead of players controlling their avatars..
Nintendo stole it. You would not have known it from there botched display of their new Zelda, but they eventually came out guns blazing with titles such as:
1. Goldeneye
2. Donkey Kong Country
3. Kirby
4. Mario Sports Mix
The 3DS sealed it with a display Kid Icarus that put Sony's PSP display to shame.
I was wincing during the whole Zelda presentation... They really should have anticipated the infrared interference.
But yeah, no doubt about it, the 3DS was E3's showstopper.
still everything was just going back in time.
Who is better, Shakespeare or Twilight?
Exactly.
nintendo's wii didnt do so hot cuz of the controller problems. it was embarrasing. but the 3dds made everyone crapped themselves. plus the presentation was hella awesome. sony did there thing like they always do. plus they had kevin this time. apart from him, it was pretty much average. to my suprise the move was hella accurate. i swear its amazing.
Ugh, stupid fanboys, E3 is not a contest! Can't you just be happy for the games announced for your system?
The shattered prestige of two great companies suggests otherwise.
If you're talking about just the big 3, only Microsoft failed.
Sony will do much better than before, and Nintendo will continue to do better than Sony and Microsoft(by reselling everyone's childhoods, as always)
So Microsoft reveals a motion device it means it's a failure
If Sony reveals a motion device it's considered a success.
Wow. Sure is fanboy.
I'm out of job currently. Does being a fanboy get paid a lot? ...what? You're not being paid to defend a brand? screw that, i'm back to begging on subways.
if he was being a fanboy, he would've been more "omg, M$ sux. sony 4 life." all he did was express his opinion, though he did state it as if it were a fact. either way, i own a 360 and i gotta agree that microsoft failed. so does that make me a ps3 fanboy?
agreed XD I'm looking forward to the 3ds and the games announced for it!
Love Plus 3D? ^_^
shouldn't someone scream "3D pig disgusting!!" at this point?
That would be a win of epic proportions.
"Love Plus 3D" will shatter our "3D vs 2D girls" concept :S
You see Hand-held market is booming because everyone wants something small that can play big games.
the E3 is as much a contest as a class presentation is. You will have the best and the worst by the end of the day like it or not.
Well, you can't have something ending up as "good" without having something that ends as "bad".
Ratings are overrated! Yeah.
It's always fun to have something to argue about. :V
