Self explanitory. Nintendo had a few okay thing but overall failed imo. Sony had some nice announcements, MAG perked my interest and R2 looked pretty good but no K2 and I've never really been into God of War tbh. I think M$ was best overall this year, and they really did good with showing the playable demos.

Also, fagfanboys gtfo.

Sony.  Announced great exclusive games and stuff.  Besides, they speak English better than the Square guy.

Microsoft showed Gears2 and revealed FFXII everywhere but Japan. New interface was meh. Showed a bunch of none exclusive games, which tbh is a pretty bad idea as the time should be spent advertising what your system alone offers. Had that film thing.

Sony showed MAG, Resistance, LBP (that presentation was brilliant tbh with the custom made level), shit tons of PSN games which all looked good fun, I personally am loving all these £3 games by small developers that are actually very good games. They pretty much convinced me to buy a PSP with the titles they showed (was already thinking of buying one anyway though, gogogo Crisis Core). Had a much better film system tbh.

Nintendo showed more casual games and not one core market game, just a total fail as im not interested in these fad games, played them on my friends Wii for a day and they get boring.

So overall Sony then MS then Nintendo.

Microsoft tbh. Finally brought SOME innovantion to the table; (LOVED "You're in the Movies") along with the games we want to see and a few that may be cool in the future.

I think Nintendo had a very meh conference due to nothing special besides Wii Motion plus. Though I'm still sure it'll still be HUGELY successful.

Sony had a really good conference, Visual wise... I was impressed with the content management and that was about it, to be honest. Of course God Of War III will be a good game, but all I saw for now was some pre rendered stuff. MAG could be really good, or really fail. Very 2-sided coin like probabilities. Home looked good. But really only eye-candy.. Though I think it's one of the best things Sony has going for it.

Microsoft had killer games too, like Fallout 3 and stuff. And the Resident Evil 5 co-op mode was though Avatar thing was pretty low of them to do. Ok-ish at best.

EDIT: Btw WTF, many companies had shit missing. Like Killzone 2, Bungie's un-announced game, (even though they're not with MS; they could very well be 3rd party devs for 360) and I THINK no Halo Wars.

Archer you know that Microsoft didn't show many exclusives and lets face it that's what its about at the companies individual presentations, all the cross platform games are shown later anyway. To show none exclusives is a waste of time, it doesn't show what your console individually offers.

Microsoft didn't do bad in that aspect with showing the new look live and gears 2, but it seemed to me they didn't actually have anything to show.

Didn't see the start so didn't see Halo Wars.
I mentioned Gears2
Failble II
Banjo Kazooie looks like a terrible game, it can't even compare with the orignals.
I hope your kidding me that game was so unbelievably gay
a kids game great for hardcore gamers /sarcasm
Wat?
Not exclusive and I already mentioned that.
A tiny ass map pack.
Didn't see that.

Even if you count each one as amazing games thats 9 exclusives. Sony offered up 25 exclusives over PS3 and PSN.

Um, no; I did. I just didn't see the *TONS* of exclusives that you mentioned. Also if you didn't see Halo Wars; it's ok that you might think it sucks, and maybe it might; but like it or not lots of people are looking forward to this game, tbh.

The directly said during the Sony presentation I think it was 11 PS3 exclusives and 15 PSN exclusives.

Where did I say halo wars sucks? I didn't, unlike quite a few people on this forum im not stupid enough to comment on things I haven't seen or argue against someone who has played a game that I haven't.

Well, still, the numbers sound pretty even to me. And even if you count "noticeable" exclusives, I think it's still pretty even; really. And even in terms of online arcade games; there'll still be tons tbh, as Microsoft mentioned at their conference as well.

Also, if you don't have some sort of negative opinion towards Halo Wars, so why didn't you "see" it; lol ?

ps. I think Banjo-Kazooie looks like a really decent game atm. Building vehicles sounds like a blast. Maybe not as much as LPB, but it sounds like a good game imo.

btw if you bring up Siren: Blood Curse, yes it looks really good (damnit I want to play it as well), but I think that's "equalized" as per say with GTA IV's exclusive 360 content.

Oh shut up Vilham. You don't have to argue with everything to do with gaming. I always seem to see you here arguing so pointlessly. Let it be; he preferred MS, you preferred Sony. That's fine.

Sony and MS both had interesting shows.

I'd say Sony, but Microsoft was close if only for the massive amount of fanboy RAGE on the GameFAQs PS3 forum immediately after it was announced FFXIII was multi-plat.

Where did I comment on the Halo Wars part of the MS conference. O wait I didn't.

Also note I said didn't watch the E3 conferences not didn't watch 100% of it.

Sorry I didn't realise im not allowed to state opinion. I was merely pointing out the reasons for his opinion are misguided, if he preferred the games that's fine, but to say it was better because it had more, is wrong. It had less. People are going to come on here and read peoples comments and thus gain a wrong set of information about what actually happened. He was saying the Microsoft was better because it had some none exclusive games shown that also advertise for Sony, I don't see how that makes MS's better.

Btw is archer in KNTL.

Microsoft blew everyone away with the FF and Netflix announcements.

Sony did good, but I think MS came up on top. Everyone's saying so too - hell, even the guys on G4 are saying while Sony did a good job, MS was the best this year. I'm extremely pumped for Resistance 2, but I think Gears 2 overshadowed it. Plus, the Netflix-MS partnership will blow away PSN's movie rental network. That's gonna boost sales majorly, because now people who have a Netflix membership but no game console will probably be thinking "Hey, now I can stream all the movies I can already get to my TV, PLUS get a game console...".

Nintendo just failed. Horribly.

Also; highlight of everything G4 has shown: Olivia Munn's rack.

Movie rental service. They've got different plans, but the normal is you can rent up to 3 DVDs or Blu-Rays from them at a time. They come in little envelopes and you can ship them back (for free) any time you want. No late fees. They introduced last year a PC streaming service where you could get access to their whole library and stream them on your PC. Now, it's going to be the same thing, but on your 360...because honestly, who the fuck wants to watch movies on their PC when they're at home?

For now, yes. They had plans to expand to the UK and Canada, but they fell through and they decided to focus on the US Market.
