Microsoft: D-, Some great games showed off, but mostly multiplats, not enough Halo/Gears focus, and too much damn Kinect crap and Usher, Halo 4 and Gears look very great though. If their big 3 (Halo, Gears and Forza) weren't all there and looking good, it could have been an F with all the Kinect crap and less then stellar multiplat showcasing.
Sony: C+, Fantastic line up of games for Vita and PS3, but dawdled too long with Storybook, no KB, no giant reveals we didn't know about (other then Beyond), no The Last Guardian or Agent, and Vita could use a little more support (though its nice to see they still care about it).
Nintendo: C-, lots of great games, very good conference full of great games and features, but it didn't have anything too surprising and for all the hype behind it it wasn't as amazing as a pre console launch E3 should be, though at least not on the level of Sony 2006, good conference but just disappointing, and they could use a little more Zelda love or a new IP that could have really shaken things up. I don't hate it as much as some of you since I thought it was good but boring, just disappointing that with so much potential it doesn't beat out Ubisoft's conference or Sony's for me.
EA: D, Some good games and support, but we knew about all of them, and some of them (like Dead Space 3) were just disappointing, and they didn't show any of the stuff we really wanted (like Mirrors Edge 2 or Command and Conquer Generals 2). Overall not that great, stuff we've seen before and less then stellar showcasing of Dead Space 3 brought it down.
Ubisoft: B, the guy host was annoying, the intro dance number was stupid, and they didn't show off anything from Rainbow Six Patriots or Beyond Good and Evil 2, but everything else was on the level and Watch Dogs could easily be the game of show, while Assassin's Creed III, Rayman and Far Cry 3 all looked incredible. If it wasn't for that host and stupid dance number, it could easily have been an A-, and with a good Patriots showcase an A+.
