1. The pre-E3 Deus Ex trailer was the only thing worth mentioning so far. Nintendo, Sony, and even microsoft with their shiny new toys failed to suprise me. I could have probably predicted, hindsight not-with-standing, the big announcements even from as far back as last year's E3 (if you can all remember that mythical era of 2009.) "Natal" comes out, everyone shows off more sequels, and the DS straps on yet another meaningless novelty that substitutes true gameplay innovation for a consumer friendly bell to add to the system's hardly mentionable collection of whistles. A smaller xbox may have been a dubious guess, though, but it certainly was a concievable one. And while move may have been something that no one saw coming ealier this year (which is not a point in it's favor) Sony is hardly developing it out of their usual course of copy->paste, but importantly without the vital context that made the original content successful in the first place.
So, consolidation all round, but at least with a few more token moves to try to attract the mythical lightning of half a decade past. Namely, the Wii's lightning, but it's current "down trend" should be lesson enough to avoid that dead end of gaming.
