As a gamer, I'd much rather sit through Microsoft's. But as a journalist, I'd rather sit though Nintendo's, because they get to the point, and don't spend all their time trying to hype up the system too much, which is pointless to the journalists, and developers sitting in the audience.
I vote Nintendo though, cause I think they did a better job cutting the crap, and getting to the point.

I agree and disagree on some of your points.
I think Nintendo's conference was directed to younger gamers. I mean you do remember seeing the Animal Crossing segment. Those kids must have been 10, 8, and 6 years of age. But I do believe each had a equal showing of mature vidoegames, maybe a few more for Microsoft though. I also noticed on some parts Nintendo almost seemed to defend themselves on being 'kid aimed.'
Nintendo's was professional, but I enjoyed Microsoft's much more because it kept my attention with all the flash and graphical effects. I also found the first opening talker for the Nintendo press conference extremely boring, although he stated a lot of facts. He just wasn't a very interesting talker. The Japanese person that followed him was alright, but he was at times hard to understand.
*Waits for other two people who voted for Nintendo to explain their reasoning*
