Sony conference VS Microsoft Conference

I must say I was more confident of the Pre-Natal exbawks.  hurr hurr. 

Have to go with MS. More surprises, more gameplay, less stats; was just more entertaining for me overall but Sony still had a very solid conference.

Everyone seems to be forgetting about the EA press conference and how it was clearly the best.

Sony's and microsoft's press conferences were both awsome so you can't really say one was better than the other but Nintendo's was terrible

As much as i wanted sony to throw so serious bombs. They only threw like...5. MS wins IMO. Liked it more than Sony.

It was a tie, I own and like both.  I just have no idea how I'll be able to afford everything that's coming within the next year. 

Thinking about it, I want to buy every single game they played with the exception of Rock Band.  God.
Pretty much all of those games were potential AAA titles.

Guys, sony only had like 3 announcements.  FF14 (which is timed exclusive according to major), kart racing, agent and  motion controllers. 
The rest was just gameplay from things that we've seen already or another trailer for a game that alrady has one.

i thought both where pretty good. i didnt like that sony's got cut off so they couldnt show heavy rain and wkc (or did they just not have those?)

overall i think sony did better. final fantasy 14, agent (even tho no pics or into), kart racing game, and the last guardian for new ps3 game announcements i must say was awesome. then all of those psp games they where showing off also psp go was really cool even tho most likely i wouldnt be buying one.

ms was nice with forza 3 (trailer of it was amazing), new epic xla game, halo, alan wake, and halo was alright. out of all of the ms things that was cool it was alan wake. it just seemed so different and even tho alot of it was confusing i thought it was cool.

motion controls tho.. they seemed almost the same. ball on stick seemed better manly cause with ms's i dont see how you pause or if it picks it up for something else then well... i see it not being that great. but for both of them just like every game console camra. it turns out to be a failure.

Although MS had a lot of multiplatform games, FFXIII, CoD:MW2, and Forza just looked amazing to me.  The way they presented things just interested me more than the Sony conference.

The MS conference was good, but the Sony conference was fantastic, once again proving that they are the best at showcasing their products in the wake of E3 06. They hit hard with great game announcements and gameplay demos. Showing off that motion controller had all the potential to come off as horrendously awkward, but it actually showed off some really neat possibilities and they had a great sense of humor about the whole thing. They even played off the whole reveal leak issue very well, and Jack Tretton is shoulder to shoulder with Reggie for best conference MC.

I'm purchasing a PS3 very soon and I am very excited after today.

Also, I gotta give Nintendo some credit, they did very well as well. In five years of watching these conferences, this has been the only time that I came away very satisfied with what all 3 companies showed off.

They were both pretty good, but I expected everything I saw at Sony, almost no surprises. Plus Microsoft had got right into the games much more quickly with less talking or showing of business figures. Also, I really dont give a shit about PS2 anymore and could care less about PSP.

Sony. They were relentless. Ever part was a high part for me. Beginning with Uncharted and ending with God of War. Everything in-between was awesome. 

i liked Microsofts much more.  it had less bullshit and more showing of the games.

Both conferences were great, it makes me glad I own both systems. If I had to choose a better conference, I'd pick Microsoft, I just find their motion control more interesting.

both sides had really good stuff, MAG snore?, Uncharted looked awesome, MGS interesting, halo was ok - finally they showed something, GoW looked ok (not bloody enough), CoD looked fantastic, crackdown 2 lol Jeff was right....the list goes on

how is the other poll winning and yet this one is losing?!!??!

  Although I believe Microsoft had the better line up of games in my opinion (Beatles: Rock Band, Metal Gear, Halo: Reach, ODST, Assassin's Creed), I thought Sony announced a couple of neat things including both the motion sensor technology and that cart racing game. If they drop the price, I'll consider buying a PS3.

Calm down you two.

It's okay to have opposing opinions, and it's also okay to confront opposing opinions with facts or other opinions. No need to get worked up.

Sony wins. Why? Microsoft Devoted 30 minutes to Third Party games coming to both platforms, so that nullifies that. Kojima announcement goes to both platforms. Halo didn't blow anyone away. Kudo kicked ass, but major bugs throughout(though natal looks awesome)

close this year

Ummm that is really tough.  I loved the flow of the Microsoft conference and the whole layout while the PS3 went for more a simple backdrop and tons of propoganda.  Microsoft definitely win that aspect(presentation of the presesntaion ;p).  Games wise both sides had some really solid showings. 

On the Microsoft side, all of the games they showed impressed me and I am pretty much excited for all of them.  Definitely the highlight was Splinter Cell Conviction followed by Alan Wake (and Shadow Complex).  Conviction was cool because they actually demoed it and it looked very good with the combat/stealth and the walls with integrated videos or w/e you call it.  The last place you were outline thing seemed very cool as well.  All of the added features to XBL seemed like perfect fits and make for a complete online experience.  1080p videos ftw and the backlog of full retail games being able to be bought on an online store is a big plus.

On the Sony side, almost all of the games intrigued me with the exception of the psp crap and MAG.  God of War 3 showing was nice but it really wasn't anything I wouldn't expect from the third entry of the God of War franchise.  The Wand/Ball on a Stick seemed very cool and miles beyong the wii.  It impressed me slightly more then Natal because it seems more of a reality while the possibilites of Natal are unlimited but uncertain.  The standout for me was Uncharted 2.  The gameplay and all of the explosions and the visuals all combined to make a very awesome experience.

So yeah overall I really enjoyed them both but the Microsoft press conference wins my vote due to its outstanding format and the games shown.

I think if the PSP Go wasn't already known about in every aspect, Sony would have won because that would've been huge news. But everyone already knew about it, so no one was really shocked or excited when they heard it. The Miley Cyrus PSP will sell millions though. The rest of Sony's conference wasn't really that exciting to me. Sony is losing exclusives every year because the console is not selling. Developers want their games on a platform that has a large audience.

I really loved Nintendo's!!!!  Women's Murder Club FTW! /sarcasm

Depends on how you judge them. For me i enjoyed Sony´s more, i thought Jack Trenton was a good host, seemed very humble and it didn´t feel like he had his tongue up consumers or developers asses.

I believe Microsoft had a better conference because they showed alot more surprises than Sony did, I mean... For god sakes, they finally unvielled Alan Wake! Halo Reach? Metal Gear Solid? Mass Effect 2? They just had more tricks up there sleeves, alot more room for improvement! PS3 had a strong showing, but not the greatest they've ever had, the system is already strong, they don't need much in the way of improvements, except for a couple key points..

For me, he talks too much. I'm a gammer, not a business man, i want to see games... not so much his view about them. For me much that he told was propaganda.

Many weren't mentioned, other just got a simple one shot screen.
