E3 2010: who had the best E3 year, Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony? Use A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D+ DD-F+ F and F- to classify how you thought each company did at E3 this year.

Nintendo A+ - sooooo excited about the 3DS, plus the new Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Kirby

Microsoft D- - The Kinect? A ripoff of Wii. Lame! The only good thing is the new Halo looks cool.

Sony: B- - the Move is another copy of Wii, but I'm excited about the new Killzone, and littlebig planet.

You're a little late huh? :P

I say (or rather reiterate):

Nintendo: A
Sony: A-
Microsoft: B-

---

I'd rate other publishers like Activision, EA, Konami, etc. But I didn't see their press conferences. And it would take me a minute to think of all the games each showed, and I don't have the patience...

I'm not going by A highest F lowest. I'm going by some video game scores S highest F lowest.

Nintendo: S (Everything exceeded my expectations and the presentation was great.)

Sony: B (It would be better but the presentation was bad.)

Microsoft: F (not really much of interest for me.)

Nintendo: A- - DS upcoming games are great and the 3DS will be another handheld monster. The Wii is getting a few games which are sure to be great from classic franchises however, I am disappointed with Nintendo for not taking any new IP chances and depending on Nostalgia. Sony: B- - Alot of great exclusive games on the horizon for 2011 and some nice bonus content for some multiplats. 2010 is looking bare but still has a couple solid games. Move is what it is and since it's getting core game support it's fine. Portal 2 PS3 bound and Gabe Newell eating crow was nice. I was disappointed with no Last Guardian gameplay, Agent trailer or Uncharted 3 announcement. Microsoft : D An hour on Kinect which doesn't interests me in the first place. More Halo, Fable and Gears, 2 or which I don't care for much. Kingdoms had nothing of value shown and everything Metal Gear Rising is multiplat and had no exclusive content. Timed exlusivity DLC for COD of all franchises doesn't interest me at all because I wouldn't buy DLC for the games.

Nintendo gets an A for Kirby and Donkey Kong.

Sony gets a B for having a good showing with little surprises.

Microsoft gets an A+ for Kinectimals.

Nintendo: A+ This is probably the best E3 presser I remember in recent memory. The presentation was top notch, the content even more so. Nintendo were ruthless, they were merciless- from one killer announcement to the next, from one stellar showing after the other. All of their systems, from the Wii to the DS, to nof course, the upcoming 3DS, had ample representation, and even the 'casual' games shown off (Mario Sports and Wii Party) looked interesting. A conference that had stuff like Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Epic Mickey, Goldeneye 007, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Metroid: Other M, Dragon Quest IX, and the 3DS unveiling, along with all its games, is a conference that will be remembered for a long time to come. Sony: B Let's face it, it was a drag, and a absolute bore until the very end. Sony relied simply tooo much on their Playstation family ads, and on the new PSP campaign. All their talk about 3D gaming seemed a bit hollow after the 3DS unveil, and while they DID show off Killzone 3, it looked remarkably generic for me to truly be excited. Kevin Butler was, in fact, the only bright spot in the entire conference. ... Until the very end, that is. Sony finally made a couple of announcements we CARED about, from Twisted Metal to Portal 2 on the PS3. They redeemed the entire showing, but they cannot compensate for the utter boredom that were the first hour and a half. Microsoft: C- While it definitely isn't as bad as people on this board would have us believe, it simply downright sucks, especially in comparision to the other two E3 showings. The Kinect focus, along with all the Wii branded games rip offs, was really lame, and seemed to convey the message that Microsoft had really lost the plot. The fact that they spent more than half of their presser on stuff like Kinectimals and Kinect Adventures seriously damaged the showing. However, it had some good showings, including those of games like Gears 3, Fable III, Halo Reach, Call of Duty Black Ops, and the Crytek exclusive. All this does not excuse Microsoft for the casual-fest that the rest of the showing was, however, and does not negate the fact that this was their worst E3 ever.

I can't see how Sony is within a full letter grade difference from nintendo. Nintendo absolutely destroyed that conference. For like an hour and a half a lot of people thought that sony's was worse than MS's. Sorceror or whatever looked lame as hell, GT5 HAD to come out at some point, Twisted metal was the only legit thing they pulled out.

Both Sony and MS conferences were equally terrible. 90% of Sony´s were ads and 90% of MS´s was kinect.

I wonder why so many ppl here think Sony had a good conferece!

Mostly because Portal 2 and Twisted Metal were surprise announcements. Something Microsoft's conference was missing. Also because Sony fanboys never concede defeat.

Nintendo- A: pretty much a nonstop bombardment of awesome. A+ if Zelda would have worked right Sony- B-: they've got some decent exclusives, and Twisted Metal just looks amazing. their emphasis on 3-D that no one will use takes them down Microsoft- F: Kinect looks awful, the exclusives are about as interesting as E!

Well, MS showed the first footage of the most antecipated 360 games (Reach and Gears) and annouced Project Kingdom. Im not saying it was a good conference but was enough to compete with Sony´s one imo.

To be honest, I've never had a run in with an MS fanboy, so I can't comment.
My point is, Sony fanboys are used to being on the top. The PS1 was a total success, and the PS2 era was one of absolute dominance for them. To slide to third place, and deal with not being the indisputably best anymore, is something they just can't deal with. Not yet.
On topic, I maintain, Nintendo's conference was the best this year. But you all agree with me, so, yeah.

But all of those were expected. Barring Codename Kingdoms, and we were shown nothing of that! Sony took the time to at least elaborate on Twisted Metal and Portal 2, which is why it gets the edge.

I'd rate other publishers like Activision, EA, Konami, etc. But I didn't see their press conferences. And it would take me a minute to think of all the games each showed, and I don't have the patience...

Episode_Eve

yeah this is what id rate the big 3, and if you can you should check out konami's press conference, imagine sonys e3 05 conference, combined with nintendos 08 conference on a smaller stage
