We all ready have a few of these. I think Nintendo is in the lead. Sony second...I just know Ubisoft was dead last. *I mean DEAD last*
E3 2010
Concept »
The 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 15-17.
"Winner" of E3? (Pollo)
Just for fun, which presser (har) did you think had the best showing? Maybe the best announcements, or the best all around, or the most intersting even if it didn't have many new things. Tell us.
I'd say Ubisoft was almost horrible enough that it was funny, but then it crossed the line when the lazorz dudes came out and showed that game. Then it was just terribleness all around. I felt a lot of pain. So much pain.
" nintendo. you cant top them un less you bring out some big guns. their line up pretty much blew my mind "Sony did bring the big guns. Lots of exclusive stuff. Vavle coming to them. Twisted metal.

I don't think any of them won personally, this year's press conferences didn't really bring anything big or surprising out.

Kirby did need his own game again. And seeing Donkey and Diddy was nice.
We can not REALLY count Icarus because we do not even have a release date for 3Ds.
Twisted metal was the high point for me. *Aside from Kevin commin out. And Vavle comming back and kissing up*

So far, I've dug the Sony announcements the most. Especially LittleBigPlanet 2. It's seriously the most amazing looking thing I've seen come along on a console in years. I'm really excited to create entire games within it.

Nintendo won no doubt. 3DS along with huge launch titles. Great Wii line up.
Sony in second. Killzone3, Infamous 2, LBP2 etc. Move looked poor imo.
Microsoft in close third. Great hardcore titles with gears/ halo. Kinect impressed me, mainly for the voice control and no controllers.
Apart from all the EA fellating that went on with all the exclusive content and better deals their games will have, for pure exclusives: Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5, Twisted Metal (and Sly Cooper!)." @The_Laughing_Man said:

Anyway to answer OP, I would say Nintendo had the best press conference. There were just a lot of surprises, which made for entertaining viewing and had me excited watching it. In hindsight, I realized that a lot of the games they showed weren't games that I particularly enjoy, but they did blow my mind with all the old titles they are resurrecting with the pure shock value while I was watching. The moment the 3DS stuff started though, I was convinced that nobody is more authentic than Nintendo at handheld gaming. The Wii stuff was meh. I liked how long their gameplay demos were as well.
A close runner up would be Sony. They had more content and reveals that were interesting to me than Nintendo did. It was very boring to watch though, which is why it doesn't exactly get high marks for best presser. The first hour was way too shareholder-centric and the pacing of the entire conference was terrible with too much Jack Tretton fluff. The Move stuff and games was impressive though and it definitely seems solid, though I just don't like buying peripherals so I'm not getting it (it's damn expensive as well). The EA deal was pretty neat as well. Then all the game reveals were awesome with plenty of gameplay for the games that were available to be shown. The montages, while tiresome, had some pretty good stuff to look forward to in there as well. Then the promise of Steamworks was great. Letting Valve do their Valve thing increases the value of their games exponentially.
Microsoft blew it's load early with fewer trailers than the rest and shorter gameplay demos. Then it was just what seemed like hours of boring Kinect stuff and awkward acting. Easily the worst.
Nintendo tore it up with the 3DS. Sony was pretty great overall. MS was fine, but definitely the weakest. Too bad since 360 is the only one I own right now :(

So their big guns were announcing you could play old games playable on other systems? Again maybe I'm missing this big reveal they had but almost every legit exclusive title they had was already announced and then they announced a bunch of games that are already announced for other platforms. The Twisted Metal presentation was kind of cool but the gameplay looks lacking so far.
