The Big Three have spoken. Who came out on top?
 
Poll based on press conferences and general E3 showing.

Please do not bring your gang lingo into this upper middle class forum.

He makes a good point though.

From what I've read, the general consensus seems to be Microsoft. And rumors of their new $200 Core system and $300 Premium system price tags can't hurt things any.

Although, Robbie Bach's admission that all 360's sold this far are defective is a pretty hard blow.

He never admitted that. It's their assumption since they extended the warranty to everyone. It's journalists putting their opinion into the piece, and I really hope he gets fired from that.

I only say MS because their numbers were amazing, and the games were nothing new, but we'll be playing them soon. Penny Arcade's take is pretty spot on:

Quote:
In terms of briefings, Sony most likely walked away with it - but none of the showings were actually bad. Sony had the most "potential" on display, and potential is mentally vast. Microsoft showed an onslaught of games you'll be able to get and play this year, before the year is out. Nintendo was... Nintendo, giving specific, imminent dates but also foiling the dedicated gamer with their dedication to teen fitness. These are both decent, and depending on the brands announced, it can be strong. But they're very literal weapons for a battle of ideas, which (in the absence of retail product) such presentations certainly are. I don't know that it should be so, but people love to be told stories, and Sony's story was the best. Their price cut is really more like a fire sale, but everything else - from Home's dystopian brandscape to the Killzone 2 demo no person was allowed to play - was potent, like myth.

This is one of our more bizarre votes, considering our demographics.
