I think that all Nintendo has to do is annouce a new Mario and a new Zelda and they'll be confirmed the champs of this E3. As for Sony I have no clue on what they have up their sleeve and I can't wait for them!

There is always a market for Mario and Zelda. Microsoft announced Natal to attract casuals, but Nintendo has been doing that for the past 3 years. So they are about even now. My point is, Nintendo does not need to do much to respond to this. They will be showing Wii Sports Resort and possibly the new Wii Fit. That will be enough to counter Microsoft from a casual point of view. As for the core gamer, who knows what Nintendo will do.

Yeah that was my first thought as well, Microsoft is new to the casuals, but for Nintendo its just like home, they will probably throw out some outstanding new add-on (Next to Wii Motion +).

WiiMan21

Why? Mindblowing is not how I would describe Microsofts presentation. I think you are getting a little lost in the hype. Let us recap.

1. MGS spinoff

2. A few games we already knew about

3. Eye toy copy with supposed better tech

4. and finally a 12 year old virtual boy to tell all of your secrets to

does that seem about right?

I think Microsoft has the advantage in that they only need to worry about one console. I hope the Sony conference isn't too focused on the PSP Go.

IMO Sony will start talking about SIXAXIS again, but it won't be part of the main controller. I think their main thing will be new hardware, price cut, new (unannounced) games, both sequels and new IPs.

I think your just tricking yourself into thinking that they didn't announce much, they also showed there new exclusives, Announced Halo Reach for next year, Natal is bigger than some Eye Toy Knock-off, it could be the revolution for gaming for all we know. but for now we just need to wait for the other two to catch up.

I think you guys are putting a little to much faith into unproven tech. I know you guys want something to get excited for I just don't think this is it. I am all about being proven wrong if this somehow ushers in next gen gaming interaction. However everything I saw looked a little smoke and mirrors to me.

Microsoft didn't have much to announce that interests me, but the likes of Forza 3, Splinter Cell, Conviction and Halo 3: ODST is virtually guaranteed AAA material and will pull in massive audiences. I have no doubt that Microsoft are happy with what they've got.

It's still a disappointment for me though. I have a feeling Sony and Nintendo's conferences will be far more exciting.

Wii Music was a failure, and Nintendo themselves know it, they look back at the sales compared to Wii Fit and weep. They arn't going to make that same mistake as they did last year, this year, they are going to throw out everything they've got to surpass what Microsoft brought into the fight.

mylo was a tech demo

I think all Sony has to do is show some games that actually look good. Honestly... the only game that definitively might force me to open my wallet is Alan Wake. As of now... looks like the last game that I will have bought for the 360 is Gears 2. But if Sony doesn't show any impressive games either... then they too will be a disappointment. Honestly... it's all about the games... isn't that what a console is for? Natal looks great... I think its innovative. So are a lot of other things that came out in the past associated with consoles. Don't jump ship until something more concrete is available for it. That's actually something smart to consider. And seriously... if you're gonna use facebook and twitter on your 360... you need to find something else better to do.

Of you would and you would be wrong! You are not getting the 10 that is MGS4 that you all had said you knew was coming. I think now you are just trying to look at this spinoff with your rose colored glasses. Microsoft will be humiliated by SONY this year just wait 8)

I find it hard to see what the big deal is. MGS2: Substance was ported to the Xbox last gen.

Completely agree, and i think Nintendo is going to reveal more than juse those two. If they release those two big guns however, they won E3.
