Yeah, I own both a 360 and PS3. Normally I can say Microsoft and sony were about head to head but this year I actually think Microsoft got pwned by Sony. Next year will be the meal ticket though. I'm pretty sure that both next gen consoles will be announced.

Microsoft's last 2 E3's have just been terrible to put it nicely. XD I wonder how Nintendo's showing will go. After seeing Microsofts, Nintendo's cant be that bad.

Agreed. I bet after today that as far as rankings the company's showings it'll be Nintendo 1st, Sony 2nd, then Microsoft 3rd. I say Nintendo first because they are bringing out a new console. 'course when Sony and Microsoft bring out a new console it'll be different.

Interesting thing though. I watched both the Microsoft and the Sony press conferences and from what I saw in the Sony conference. . . They essentially HAVE a Wii U but with even MORE possibilities. When they are the announcement that the ps vita could be used in conjunction with the ps3 as a controller of sorts for games that's essentially (not exactly) the same thing as a wii u. I want Nintendo to do well though either way because if the wii u bombs than things will REALLY not be looking well for Nintendo and they are an amazing company that as far as gaming goes came before Xbox and ps. I love that the wii u is FINALLY supporting 3rd party games.

If the price is high for the console it will flop since their market had tons of kids/casual games and low income families could afford it. I like that Wii U is HD but that controller shouldn't of been the main attraction to it. I cant see how they can make that controller cheap, controllers arent meant to take a beating. Can you imagine if kids drop this and you have to buy a new one? It looks pretty big especially for a small kid to hold properly. Also, it still cant play DVDS/blu-rays, really Nintendo? I sometimes dont understand them.
