well at E3 you only get games from SCEA, that's why the games steming from SCEE and SCEJ weren't there. [mana explained that well over in the PS3 E3 2008 thread - PS3 forums] Plus Sony has to prepare for 3 consoles whereas MS only has one and Nintendo has 2.

Did you read the article? It praised Sony for the same things it bashes MS for, here are some examples, notice the choice off words for MS vs. the choice of words for Sony;
"Despite rumors of price cuts, Microsoft opted to expand the hard drive of its mid-range offering instead of delivering any real savings to consumers."
"Sony put together a similar performance, shuffling its PS3 package offerings to little real effect (although you might pick up a bargain as retailers clear stock of the older lines)."

"On-demand movie and TV programming courtesy of Netflix will expand the 360's already bulging video abilities"
"[Sony] also expanding its video offerings by offering online movie rentals from an impressive portfolio of studios -- and you can take them on the road on your PSP, too. Unlike Microsoft's offerings, which have a vague "fall" ETA, Sony's new online features should be available by the time you read this."

"a new motion-sensing microphone controller will deliver new horrors to the terrifying world of karaoke games."

Just look at the words that are used to describe stuff in the MS conference vs. the Sony conference. Not one negative word in the article about Sony but plenty of negative things in the article about Nintendo and MS.

I dont really think that MS had a bad conference, but not a lot there I like. I just happen to like the stuff Sony stuff better

Nintendo on the other hand......complete joke

Here's a question about Sony's GH. Warhawk. That $30 price. Is it with or without the headset? Without the headset, that's a $10 drop. Not quite worth it. Also, what will it mean for the downloadable version. Will that drop in price as well?

^w/o the headset

Anyways, here's a tease on...(rest in blog - haha!)

My take on Gamespot's take on their E3 coverage of Sonic Unleashed:

The twist in this adventure comes in the form of nighttime levels that completely change the traditional gameplay. In these levels, you play as a mutated form of Sonic known as a Werehog. These levels are much slower than the Sonic levels and centered on combat. You have 30 different moves in your arsenal, so battles should offer a lot of variety. Since you can't just quickly dispose of foes as you fly by, you'll find yourself surrounded by evil beings. These resemble the creatures from the Twilight Realm from Zelda, and you can toss them around or just punch them until they give up.

Great...more knockoffs of other games
Dark Void is basically a ripoff of Gears cover-and-fire gameplay (but you get a jetpack!) and this is a knockoff of the latest, and dare I say, the shittiest, Zelda console game I've played.

though it maybe true that sony does have three consoles to concentrate on [ps2, psp, ps3]. but should you really consider the ps2?! their just doing the ps2 what they did with the ps1 [trying to cashin on it's death bed]. microsoft and nintendo knows when to end it, these people they just go on and on. i could see the ps2 go upto 2009, maybe 2010. if ps2 goes to 2010, they should kill ps3 since the ps2 is so successful [10 years]. by 2010, ms will have ideas for xbox 3 and sony is still on ps2 and ps3. by e3 2011, ms reveals xbox 3 and sony declares the ps2 dead and sony now fully concentrates on ps3.

Interesting.

Not really. MS killed off the Xbox too early to get the 360 out there, and the Gamecube had been dead in the water for years when the Wii finally appeared.

it took upto the ps3 for sony to end production of the ps1. so if we try to assume the same for ps2, then that will be a long long time. if i'm correct, the ps3 is to last 10 years according to the sony reps. so ps3 is released in 2006 and 10 years later would be 2016. so the end production for ps2 would be 2016 when the next playstation system is announced assuming that sony does decide to release a system at that time.

that is 16 years, ps2 released in 2000 and production ends in 2016.

So why was Everquest 1 at E3?

That article was a joke.

Personally Microsoft had the best by far. Banjo Kazooie coming to XBLA, FF13, all the Rock Band 2 stuff, Gears 2

Nintendo's made my finally make the decision to sell my Wii

Sony's was ok. But personally, I think MAG is gonna be crap. The name of the game is super generic, and it's gonna be a huge lagfest. But I could always be wrong

^what about pikmin!

7:35 Miyamoto and Yeguchi address a question about "core gamers" and whether or not these games will appeal to them. In a nutshell, they respond that they hope anyone will enjoy these games, and that a "core gamer" is someone that enjoys games, regardless of genre, as long as they're good. "We're making Pikmin."

Uh oh, I pushed a hot button. And I did it in one post instead of a dozen.

I got drunk at Bethesda's E3 party, told CheapyD he had the best website in the world and I don't think he thought I was incredibly smart.

True story.
