Sony won because they actually showed off their new system. Nintendo had no specs, no price points, no exclusive games, and we didn't even see the actual console. Sony, on the otherhand, showed off a bunch of new games, an amazing pricepoint making the Vita a better purchase than the 3ds, and had quite a few ps3 exclusives shown.

DarkLink77

wat.

Apparently the 3DS isa complete 3rd party handheld. Can't wait to play Killzone on it.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]

[QUOTE="locopatho"] So they won by showing the same games that 360 and PS3 have been getting for 5-6 years? Even though everyone tried to use that as a positive and say Nintendo had their own identity or whatever? But now they finally catch up and they "win"? finalfantasy94

No, they won by showing a new system that holds alot of promise and a bunch of awesome 3ds games.

Even if they were vague about it, it was still better than Sony's and MS's showing

Word like I said before to win E3 all you need to do is show something shiny and poorly explain it and bam you won. Lasty dont support the current system you have out even though the new system doesint come till next year.

The problem here is that's what you think actually happened. Do you also think that E3 is over when the last conference airs? Do you think that everything coming out is in the conference, and not everywhere else in E3, including websites and the show floor? You probably are not prepared to argue with stuff like this unless you know what everyone is showing.

[QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="OhSnapitz"] So what exactly did they show for the Wii-U? ..considering the wall-to-wall video games. OhSnapitz

Tekken, Ghost Recon Online, Metro: Last Light, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Aliens: Colonial Marines, new DiRT, new Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham City, Darksiders 2, Smash Bros. 3DS + WiiU, Pikmin 3, and a bunch of tech demos.

I guess you didn't get the memo :|

So again... what exactly did they show. :|

Those games. You do realize that knowing the footage was from 360 and PS3 doesn't make the games disappear from existence.... Sony showed fake GCI trailers that looked nowhere near as good as anything the system would ever put out, including ones for Motorstorm and Killzone 2. Last I hear, Motorstorm and Killzone 2 exist.

Graphics, yes, gameplay, looks pretty much the same with Uncharted 2. I know what they achieved with the moving stages and stuff, but in the end, it's just more Uncharted 2, and it doesn't drastically address the problems UC2 had like lack of puzzles, smart platforming, actual adventure segments, etc.

Hitman Absolution :| That game looked garbage from what I saw. They turned it into some sort of Splinter Cell Conviction instead of staying true to the awesome Hitman formula...GS casual-ization confirmed? :P

I just watched a Hitman demo. It looks okay, but I think GS only gave it to Hitman because they're excited that there's going to be a new Hitman, not because of anything shown of the game itself. There were a few games that looked much better than that at the show.

Like Rayman Origins, which was the real winner.

MGS3D, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, KH3D, Time Travelers, and others were not shown in the conference, they were shown outside of it. Unless you thought the 3DS won Best of Show just because of 3D and Kid Icarus....

Are you sure it has always been by the conferences alone?

Prey 2 beat the pants off of Hitman. As did Skyward Sword. But IO ruins Hitman and GameSpot is like, "Best of show!" Typical.
