Indeed. I was almost sold on a ps3, but this is definitely interesting. Sony has their press conference tomorrow - hopefully they announce price cuts but I doubt they have anything like this up their sleeves at the moment.

Sony unveiled a motion controller today in their keynote.

It was super lame. It's no better than the wiimote.

Sony pretty much won e3, though. The sony motion thing was the only thing they did that didn't ooze crazy amounts of win. They showed off MAG, Uncharted 2, Final Fantasy 13, FINAL FANTASY 14, Gran Turismo PSP, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Metal Gear Solid PSP (all new game, between MGS 3 and MGS4) and a brand new version of PSP: PSP Go..slide up screen, more compact, 16gb of internal storage.

Nintendo's was pretty impressive, but nowhere near the level of sony's.

MS was a joke this year at e3.

Well, I do like the ps3 more than the other platforms, but I currently own the PS3, 360, PSP, DS and I owned the wii at one point. Regardless of "bias", sony was the clear winner at this year's e3. They unveiled way more A titles than MS did. MS' keynote was painful to watch and they didn't show off as many games as either sony or Nintendo did, instead focusing on a bunch of tech demos (Natal and that creepy AI little boy Milo), on-demand, and things like that. Two of the biggest titles that MS showed off are multiplatform, too..not 360 exclusives (Rock Band Beatles and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2)

MS was clearly bringing up the rear in this year's e3. To admit to anything else is showing ridiculous bias in favor of the xbox brand.

Wait, with what? Certainly not Natal, avatars, facebook/twitter, or that creepy Milo thing. That stuff isn't even gaming, its more interactive casual junk!

MS had the best conference last year, hands down with their 14-ton megaton Final Fantasy 13 bomb. This year, not so much.

Basically, a bunch of people from Microsoft went up on stage, demonstrated the casual junk that was the bulk of their show, and made complete fools of themselves flailing around and throwing virtual buckets of paint on a virtual wall and talking to a virtual 8-year old boy.

and Sony didn't right, with their sales figures, Home, Hannah Montana games and wand motion controller? :rolleyes:

2 Halo games, Forza 3, Shadow complex, Left 4 dead 2, Splinter cell, MGS: R, Alan Wake, FF13 and MW2 isn't gaming?

FF13 was announced last year, and is multiplatform. Left4Dead 2 is multiplatform, Splinter Cell Conviction is multiplatform, Modern Warfare 2 is multiplatform. Alan Wake, Forza 3, MGS, and the 2 halo games were nice but when stacked against the utter fail of everything else MS brought to the table they had the worst showing of the three. Nintendo has three new mario games coming that will outsell the crap out of anything else discussed at e3 and a Metroid game developed with Team Ninja, and Sony has a laundry list of AAA titles that are exclusives (unlike MS), and unveiled a new system. Their motion controller was pretty much junk, but that was just a short part of the presentation.

I get the feeling the ones saying "OMG MS WON ANYONE UBIASED KNOWS" are the ones that are fairly biased themselves. Like I said, i've got all of these systems (save the Wii, but that will be changing when that new Metroid comes out) and in terms of number of big exclusive titles, Sony won that battle hands down at this year's E3.

I really can't be bothered getting into a fanboy war with you on CZ dude, sorry. I'm far to tired of it from every gaming site i go to to try and get info on these games.
People like you throwing around the word "exclusive" like it automatically makes games worse if god for bid someone other then you get to play them as well is pretty sad TBH. It's also pretty sad when people pledge their loyalties to companies who only care about your money.
If someone other then "your brand" does something good it's off to the forums to discredit it.

Most people think MS had the best showing as do I, I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings

You are the only one acting like a fanboy here, not me. I'm not getting bent out of shape because someone didn't like an opinion. I really like your line of attack that "im pledging my loyalty to a company that just wants my money". I ran down Sony's stupid Disco-wand motion controller. Yeah, that's me, the sony homer that has a stack of DS and 360 games.

I'm counting "exclusives" because it's what seperates consoles from one another. Who cares if your console of choice has Call of Duty? Every other system and/or PC is going to have it, too. Sony has been getting killed in the "exclusive" department ever since the PS3 came out, and finally this year they dropped the bomb. They've got more of them coming out in addition to the AAA multiplatform titles that everyone else will have. Judging solely on the sheer number of these titles shown, Sony won that fight this year. It helped that they spent less time making a fool of themselves than MS did as well with all that casual stuff.

Apparently you can't read. I bashed sony for their casual crap too. Sony just had far less of it.

You might have a problem counting as well. MS showed fewer games than sony did, and even fewer exclusive titles. You can literally just go back and rewatch the pressers and count. It's that simple.

Yeah, totally biased!

This new Microsoft product is bad ***. Anyone saying that its not is lying to themselves and anyone else dumb enough to believe a word they're saying.

....and who cares which system showed off more games at some trade show? They don't make the games, they make the systems.

Home, Hannah Montana took like 5 minutes each. Disco-wand took like 20.

MS spent the bulk of their conference talking about on-demand services, Natal, Milo, that paint-splash thing, twitter, facebook, stacking people to make them look like shadow animals (yes, they really did this) and xbox live avatars with that RIDICULOUS fat guy with the long hair, gucci sunglasses (INDOORS) and the jumpsuit talking about his avatar's shoe. BAM!

You may not have liked the sony games shown and found it "cringe-worthy", (and since you are a 360 fanboy, im pretty sure you didn't and did) but regardless of bias those were all AAA titles that are going to sell a ton of copies. I don't know why you continue to fight (oh right, fanboy) but the number of those titles shown were more than what MS brought to E3. Look, MS won last year's e3 and sony was a snooze-fest. Sony was a pathetic laugh riot at E3 in 2006. It happens. Sometimes your boy looks bad, sometimes he doesn't. It was MS that was bringing up the rear this year.
