Poll: So... who won?

[GonzoGamer]

I am biased here so I will not vote.

I think they all sucked so I will not vote.
MS had a whole lot of predictability.
Sony was just sorry.
And Nintendo wants to Wii on U.

No thanks.

And don't even get me started on Mr Caffeine. I have never had my palm hit my face so many times.

Sony because I wasn't thrilled about Nintendo's stuff much and I didn't watch what Microsoft had, but I heard they were pretty terrible.

 

[Ranooth]

Mega close between Sony and Nintendo, but based on sheer "OMG!" moments i'm going with Nintendo. Microsoft was just boring and predictable (shame about that Halo 4 leak), every other bloody word was Kinect!

 

[Ceress]

Nintendo had me at "New Super Smash Brothers"

seriously if their entire conference was just Reggie walking in and saying those words they would still win in my books

 

[Lullabye]

Nintendo.
Hands down. The new platform looks stupid and gimmicky and all the things we love to hate, but 'new super smash bros' pretty much took it home for them.

Let me ask Microsoft this question:

If you're so proud of Kinect, why does it still not understand Australian?
FU Microsoft.

 

[Pingieking]

Sony. Stiff competition from Nintendo, MS session was sunk by Fable and Star Wars demos.
The WiiU and PSVita cancels each other out (though I liked Vita a bit more). Sony takes software lineup by a small bit. Uncharted, Sly 4, and InFamous vs Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, and some 3DS games I can't care less about.

MS would have done better if they didn't "leak" Halo 4 a few hours early.

No one won this year, but Microsoft was definitely the loser! Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect Kinect etc... I seriously question their leadership if they thought Kinect Disneyland deserved a spot in their press conference. Kinect Star Wars may have been the most embarrassing game I have ever witnessed at a games show. It was utterly terrible.

The show was Nintendo's to win, and I just don't think their new console impressed the way we all thought it would. Cool tech, but too gimmicky.

 

[Twilight.falls]

I don't understand why people are voting for Nintendo. They are rehashing old franchises and have released a console that can do everything the PS3 and XBox have been doing for the past five years. There is nothing new besides Luigi's Mansion 2 and the new Super Smash Bros. Now some of their games will be great but its just that everone is excited about Nintendo getting up to date. As far as doing new things, the Microsoft wins. As far as games, Sony wins. Games are what are important in the gaming industry so my vote goes to Sony.

I'm confused. You say they keep rehashing old franchises, but you say Luigi's Mansion 2 is fine? It is a Mario game. Same with Smash Bros. The Smash Bros franchise has 3 games, now a 4th, but this is fine.

Microsoft and new things? They announced Halo 4, 5, and 6.

Nintendo actually had interesting stuff to show.

The other two....eh...Wasn't really all that wow'd.

But overall, after the insanity that was last year, not much can top that.

RE-POST TIME!

Out of the Big Three: Nintendo.
Honestly, between Microsoft "Hey we haven't given up on Kinect. Oh and here's some Halo to throw you guys a bone." and Sony's "Hey, we're now trying to out-do Nintendo in shoving 3D down your throat!", Nintendo could have just said "Yeah, we're gonna keep what we're doing" and it still would have been a better conference... but they didn't. They basically came out and said "Ok, now we're trying to appeal to you hardcore gamers again. We got all those nice games now, AND we have our own awesome games!" And what awesome games they were.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Who knows. Let's wait until all this stuff is out before deciding what's the best. E3 has always been about smoke and mirrors.

 

[Canid117]

I didn't watch any so I flipped a coin to decide. Heads Nintendo tails Sony for the first round. Tails Microsoft heads Sony for the second. Sony won round 1 and Microsoft won round 2. (I own a 360 which is why MS got a free pass to round 2) I find it hard to care about E3's conferences. All I really want are the trailers.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Microsoft and new things? They announced Halo 4, 5, and 6.

Not to mention offering up the gaming equivalent of a bunch of people holding a corpse up with strings to give it some movement, the Halo:CE remake.

Honestly, I don't think Microsoft thinks much of its gamers. "Just come here, spend some money, then dance for us. Go on, wave your arms[footnote]Though to be fair, the weapon modding in Ghost Recon: Future Solider with Kinect looked cool.[/footnote] and dance monkey! Oh, but here's some Halo."

 

[crono738]

I predict Nintendo winning this poll because they released a console that finally plays games I've been able to play for the past five years. The only thing that Wii U had that I found neat was the ability to play off solely the controller so the TV could be free.

Microsoft was still pretty sub-par focusing on kinect and whatnot.

Sony's game lineup was the strongest to me, so they got my vote.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.

 

[NellNell]

Nintendo didn't even have to release a new console to win this. They had me at Luigi's Mansion 2 <3.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Nintendo didn't even have to release a new console to win this. They had me at Luigi's Mansion 2 <3.

They had me at Starfox. Appealing to my nostalgia of racing through random shapes with no discernible objective that I can remember...

But yeah, Luigi's Mansion was a big hit for me. I never expected that and my love for the 1st one is so much that I still play it on my mum's Gamecube. I will be hopefully getting a 3DS within the year because of Starfox, Luigi and the other 1st party titles.

Plus I'll be getting the Wii-U when it comes out, even if I have to sell myself for money (meaning selling blood etc, not prostitution. [sub]Although...[/sub]) because my god does that ever look good. If they offer a Darksiders 2 + Wii-U console bundle at launch, that will decide it for me.

 

[mireko]

It's a competition?

Yes, didn't you watch the conferences?

There was jousting, full-on knife fights, everything. I think I saw a lion.
