Polls conclude MS most impressive at E3.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10256539-17.html

Just an excerpt from the article at Cnet.

As well as Gamepro and Gamespot voting MS as the most impressive.

It's only here in opposite land called System wars that there are more Cows to sway that impression.

the quote:

"CNET conducted a poll earlier this week asking readers which company--Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony--had the most impressive announcements at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

More than 10,000 people responded. More than 51.9 percent of the respondents said Microsoft bested its competitors. Thirty-four percent of those who answered the poll said Sony had the best announcements. Nintendo finished last, with just 5.6 percent of respondents saying it had the best E3. Ironically, the fourth option--"None of them--they were all yawners"--beat out Nintendo, with 8.4 percent of the vote."

You seemed surprised that someone could have an opinion.

I disagree, as usual, MS churned out the inevitable. Sony won it.

Edit: This is written by the same guy who wrote THIS article:lol:

Ok so about 5190 people though Microsoft had the best conference. Out of like... hundred of millions of gamers.

Then it must be true...

Great E3 overall, I don't see why people need to "win" it, especially since none of you will end up being richer or anything from E3, unless you for for Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo or some developer, which is not likely.

Wanna see what the bottom of an avitar's shoe looks like?:lol:

Op you do know that Cnet isn't a gaming site? It's a site where they review Cell phones and HDTVs, lol. Most people there don't even know about E3. They probably just vote on the name alone and not what they saw from the 3 companies. If you read the CNet article the editor said Sony had a better offering at E3. Besides I don't care what other people thought, I know as a true and unbaised gamer that Sony had the best showing. PCGamer248

true and unbiased?

"Sony had the best showing"?

But didn't the editor just got dismissed because he wrote this article http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-9861122-17.html as mentioned by the above poster? Now what?

People were polled. That's what they picked nothing you and I can do about it.

how about Gamepro- Good chance they may know a little bit about games?

I don't even have a 360, or like MS, and yet I agree. I think Sony and MS were evenly matched in terms of games and announcements. But MS just put on a way more interesting and entertaining show. Sony wasted too much time with their little montages which I found confusing and meaningless. Also, MS always hires celebrities but they feel forced. THIS year, they hired celebrities that were actually associated with games, LIke TOny HAwk and the Beatles.

While these were multiplat titles, having the celebrities there in person to promote them, really give the feeling that they are exclusive to MS even though they aren't. It certainly TIES them to the 360 in a stronger way than how Sony or Nintendo just talked about third party games. Hell, people are still talking about MGS Raiden as if its an MS exclusive and NOBODY is talking about it being for PS3. Because MS announced it and had the guy there talking about it. When the same dude showed up at Sony's show it was for PSP and zero mention of the game for PS3.

SO while I think Sony and MS both put on a good show in terms of information, amount of games shown, actual gameplay, new announcements, etc...I think MS had the edge for having a way better presentation.

[QUOTE="GundamGuy0"][QUOTE="wmc540" You don't really understand the concept of a poll... do you?wmc540

The only reason they won is because they pulled out celebrities and flashy lights.

I was excited for three things during their conference, Milo, Alan Wake, and Left 4 Dead.

Sony's on the other hand, I was excited for all their announcements... except that Hannah Montana crap, which I knew the speaker (his name fails me at the moment) hated also.

Microsofts speaker was annoying and unprofessional. He kept clapping for himself, when no one was... and that stupid smile he had on his face the entire time... :?

1UP's Editor Garnet Lee: " Microsoft wins by a slippery hair"

E3 Expo 2009
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Strategy Analytics games analyst, Martin Olausson, anticipates a strengthened market position for Microsoft's Xbox360 game console following a solid showing at this year's E3 Expo in Los Angeles, CA. After all three console manufacturers - Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony - had given their respective press conferences at this year's E3 Expo, it was clear that Microsoft has pulled ahead of Sony and Nintendo when it comes to offering next generation online entertainment experiences.

Although both Sony and Nintendo announced some new updates - such as Sony's PSP Go and Nintendo's Wii Motion Plus - both companies mainly announced "more of the same". In Strategy Analytics' view, neither firm offered a clear vision for entertainment services beyond the core gaming features of their respective consoles.

Microsoft, meanwhile, announced a torrent of new services for its Xbox Live platform, including instant streaming of full 1080P HD movies and TV shows, 10 new markets where Xbox LIVE will offer its TV shows and movies, social media services Facebook and Twitter and music streaming service Last.fm on the Xbox Live platform, and a completely new user interface, code-named "Project Natal".

"With Project Natal, full HD streaming of movies and TV shows, and new social media features, Xbox is ushering in a new era of digital entertainment and continues to put new challenges to its competitors in the battle for online entertainment leadership," said Martin Olausson, Director of Digital Media Research at Strategy Analytics. "So far these challenges have gone largely unmet and as a result Nintendo and Sony are falling further and further behind in the online entertainment market".

Note to editors: Strategy Analytics estimates that the global online entertainment market - including Web TV & Filmed Entertainment, Online Advertising, PC & Video Game Software, and Online Music - reached $68 billion in 2008 and will approach $100 billion by 2010.

Well i guess than its a fact.If majority thinks that way,but do keep in mind that majority can also be casuals...Like majority owns the Wii.Does that justify it as being the best console ?

Best post in the thread.

I have a PS3 and a Wii.

The majority opinion is that MS impressed the most at E3. Thats what this thread topics is about. the polls where in.

Everyone has an opinion. That was the majority.

Gamepro & Gamspot is just 2 peoples opinions....who cares??

Well i guess than its a fact.If majority thinks that way,but do keep in mind that majority can also be casuals...Like majority owns the Wii.Does that justify it as being the best console ?

mcgreddy

best is of opinion.

I never mentioned any of this as a fact. the thread title is Polls. The articles I have put down are opinions.

It should'nt change your opinion to what you think is best. Just give you some insight on what the rest of the world outside System Wars thinks.

In here Sony is best simply because there are more PS3 fans. Out there it would seem Wi is best becase more people have bought it.

However this is about E3.

Yet this editor at CNET thinks Sony won....

this idea of Casual being somehow irrelevant or not as important. is simply moot.

it's the hardcores crowd that Nintendo's games are too casual, however it doens't make their games bad. If it were there wouldn't be so many fans of Nintendo games.

really?

I was under the impressin there were more Sony fans here in SystemWars.

How are there more PS3 fans when the forums of 360 have a larger base ? Facts say its the other way around.mcgreddy

The number of consoles sold has not necessarily any relation with the number of fanboys on an internet forum.

I don't even have a 360, or like MS, and yet I agree. I think Sony and MS were evenly matched in terms of games and announcements. But MS just put on a way more interesting and entertaining show. Sony wasted too much time with their little montages which I found confusing and meaningless. Also, MS always hires celebrities but they feel forced. THIS year, they hired celebrities that were actually associated with games, LIke TOny HAwk and the Beatles.

While these were multiplat titles, having the celebrities there in person to promote them, really give the feeling that they are exclusive to MS even though they aren't. It certainly TIES them to the 360 in a stronger way than how Sony or Nintendo just talked about third party games. Hell, people are still talking about MGS Raiden as if its an MS exclusive and NOBODY is talking about it being for PS3. Because MS announced it and had the guy there talking about it. When the same dude showed up at Sony's show it was for PSP and zero mention of the game for PS3.

SO while I think Sony and MS both put on a good show in terms of information, amount of games shown, actual gameplay, new announcements, etc...I think MS had the edge for having a way better presentation.

This isint fact or anything. Its just opinions.

Sony stuck a lightbulb on the end of a wii remote and called it theres. Microsoft went one better than the wii remote. I think we all know who won. And nobody saw the creepy video game kid coming either.

Sony spent most of it's presentation talking about a dead handheld. Only thing i like was the racing game. Microsoft>Nintendo>>Sony

Odrec

What? Did you even read what I said? I said that they both had great shows in terms of the games they showed, gameplay, upcomgin games, new announcements, etc. I said what gave MS's show the edge was the FLASH. Like it or now, all things being equal (which I think they were), the presentation gives one an edge. At no point did I say that MS had nothing else to offer.

And whether you want to admit it or not, MS announced some exclusives, had some surprise announcements, showed lots of gameplay, etc.

Frankly, I think the fact that you are forcing me to defend MS right now, when I am a LONG LONG-time PS fan...says a lot about your level of fanboyism.
