Hey guys, this is my first post but i've been lurking here for a few years. Anyway on to the point, please read before attacking.
Lets start with a little history lesson. 2006 was mostly dominated by the PS2 with games such as FFXII, Okami and Rogue Galaxy. November 2006 was the day all that changed and we entered the Xbox era with Gears recieving universal acclaim shortly followed by a 1-2 punch with Rainbow Six Vegas. This golden era continued right through 2007 with amazing games like Halo 3, Mass Effect, PGR4, AC6, Bioshock (at the time, we didnt know some were multi). This continued right until June 2008.......
Yes, we all know what happened in that month MGS4 came smashing out of the starting gate with a 10 and we officially entered the PS3 era from there. With an impressive E3 showing that year, the games just kept pouring out and the PS3 really unleashed in 09 with games such as Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank Future 2, Demons Souls, Infamous and Killzone 2. This era continued right up untill May 2010.
As we all know what happened in May 2010, Nintendo delivered a 1-2 with the perfect SMG2 followed by the near perfect S&P2. I thought we had entered the Nintendo era right then but i still had doubts in my mind. Whether they could continue this success and that MS & Sony would deliver their big guns. Well this E3 has shown that they're not going at it as hard as Nintendo are and with games right through to 2011, i see this Nintendo Era continuing through to May/June 2012 as history shows us.
Sure we won't see as many blockbusters hitting the system as the other two era's, Nintendo will never have that high level of multiplat support this gen, but expect the best games to be on the Wii, and i havent even mentioned the DS'
Sumary: Welcome to the Nintendo Era, i hope you enjoy your stay :D
