    Was that a Vanillaware game at the end of the part with snippets from Vita games? Because if it was, I'm gonna have to buy that device.

    I was thinking the same thing. Whatever that game was, it looks freaking sweet.

    Wow, if you're planning to buy a Vita, this is a great time to be an American.  Since our dollar is in the crapper, we get a good deal on the device.
     
    Good show from Sony.  I liked most of it.  I could have done without all that Move and 3D stuff, but it wasn't overwhelming.  Sly Cooper was a nice surprise, and I am looking forward to the next Uncharted, of course.  There was more that interested me in this conference than in the Microsoft one.  Next up, Nintendo.

    Fine conference. Feel like Sony are sitting on some bigger announcements related to games but astutely decided to dedicate the finale to the Vita. Honestly, I was expecting some Last Guardian, Agent, GTAV or GoW trailer at the end.

    Meh conference for PS3 imo.  Uncharted demo seemed way duller than what I'm sure the actual game will be.  I can't even remember anything else they showed.  Vita is nice though.  Decent price too.  3DS will have to do something.  Smh @ no Kevin Butler... wtf.  That would have at least made it fun to watch.

    Vita looks good and it's priced right (for Americans), I just hope it has some good unique games. Also curious about pricing on games.

    This was horrible. 
    They showed uncharted 3. 
    And after that? NOTHING! 
    They pulled out the vita and showed playstaion ip's on it that we all know. Nothing new, nothing special. 
    Boring as fuck.

    Why does Sony looks more sincere to me than the other conferences? No planted dumbasses wooing at every bullshit announcement, really cool games except for surprises and the lengthy montages it was awesome. And what do they get for it? Loud obnoxious laughter, mumbling even booing from the crowd? Why are they not doing it on other conferences, oh I know, they have no stamina and are bored, because it's the last one... pathetic

    They fucking picked AT&T, even Apple got fucking boos for that. You think Sony would fucking learn from Apple's fuck up.

    Really? AT&T?! Want to cram up their shitty 3g even more with the fucking iPhone users?!

    Pretty solid. I wish they had gone back to some PS3 teaser type stuff at the end. Pretty glad about the vita support, but I don't really have any intention to buy one just yet.
     
    Best one so far, but I think it'll still be pretty easy for Nintendo to top everything with the cafe stuff.

    Great conference., my favorite thus far. I had no interest in Vita, but now I might consider picking it up.

    Also Uncharted 3 looked amazing and their apology regarding psn going down was actually kind of effective.

    The only thing missing was Kevin Butler.

    Man, you guys are cynical. I thought Sony did pretty well for a company in its position. I was expecting them to come out, apologize, show off a couple of Vita games, acknowledge the Move and walk off. While there wasn't much in the way of new IPs and there were a couple of low moments (such as Kobe playing NBA Move and "AT&T"), there was a lot to like (Sly 4, Bioshock Infinite, the Vita getting a reasonable price tag).  

     I'm very intrigued by the Vita, now. Sony seems like they're really serious about competing with Nintendo and this time, while I'll hold onto my skepticism, they might just pull it off.

    I wonder if Sly 4 will have some kind of time travel shenanigans or something, cause that would be pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of it in any case. I love the Sly Cooper games.

    I feel like I'm one of the only people who thought it was almost 2006 bad. I watched it with 2 friends and we were just in awe. Everything on Vita looks like bullshit and everything for Move looks like bullshit. I'm not a fan of Kinect either, but at least they have decent methods of integrating it into games without it taking over. The NBA 2K12 Move demonstration....what the fuck.

    I'm really glad to see the Vita price competitive. Too many times has Sony shot themselves before they started by having a high price tag on their hardware. It is priced at a very reasonable point, and it is a very easy pick over the 3DS at that price point. I was disappointed we didn't see Agent, or a Bungie/Respawn/Someone Else announcement on stage. It was pretty relaxed. There wasn't much to get mad or boo at (except the AT&T announcement), but there wasn't a lot of wow factor outside of Sly 4. It was much better than Microsoft, but I think Nintendo has every opportunity in the world to top the Sony conference tomorrow.

    Me too, the problem is now all the new big game announcements are attached with the Video Game awards, I mean this year like 10 games were announced if not more at it.

    The 3D HDTV with full view for spit-screen view, DUST the MMO shooter based off EVE, Uncharted games, Ken Levine making his Mea culpa about Move and talking about a BioShock NGP game, and then Vita revealed at a great price and actually showing off why touch front & back could be cool. Sony easily showed up everything else this monday. It will be interesting to see what Nintendo can do tomorrow.

    I haven't watched it due to my shit internet connection, but from what I've heard it seems to have been alright. But what are Sony thinking by puttng Little Big Planet on Vita? I mean why play Little Big Planet on a handheld when you can play a better version on a big screen!

    I agree. I have all consoles and I'm not a fanboy of any one company, but Sony definitely won the E3 war over Microsoft. They showed some awesome shit. Vita looks sweet with a great-ish launch line up and a very affordable price. I also really like the touch screen stuff, it makes some games like Modnation Racers more accessible to play. Good first party stuff. Uncharted 3 looks phenomenal, and Sony announced a magical television.

    I liked it.

    Best conference for me so far. The Move stuff actually looked pretty fun, Uncharted looks cool and tht 3D TV Deal is also good. Impressed with Jack's si ncere apology regarding the PSN downtime. Well done Sony!

    I wonder what's making me not think like the rest of you. I thought the MS conference was pretty okay and this was perhaps a small step above it. Not by any means "super awesome waueuu". The lack of "The Last Guardian" is fucking shit. Uncharted 3 is pretty cool, Resistance 3 looks so meh, I have no affinity for star trek, that Dust game looks like a PS2 shooter connected to an MMO I couldn't care less about. Also, why do people keep insisting that 3D is the shit? The only people wanting 3D are families that bought the wii because everyone said it was cool. I bet the PSVita will have a battery life of four hours and handhelds are still going sort of irrelevant what with smart phones getting increasingly stronger.

    Man I feel like a troll.

    I quite liked the MS conference too. I can't say a lot of the games were aimed at me, and the Kinect on-rails games look horrible.. but they still showed some impressive stuff and the games they did show were great. Sony's certainly wasn't any better. No new IP's, no surprises, and the Move stuff looked terrible.. I don't think either was particularly bad, but I don't see how you could rate one higher than the other.

I don't think either was particularly bad, but I don't see how you could rate one higher than the other.

    A big difference for me was the kinect stuff was focused around little children that was incredibly awkward and hard to watch to the point that I just put it on mute til they got to the halo 4 teaser which wasnt much either.  The sony conference did a better job of going from game to game and even when they went to move or 3d stuff was more short and to the point while MS went on for the longest time about kinect and multimedia stuff that I just simply dont care about.
     
    Id rather see the focus on games than anything and I liked what I saw in Sony with Star Trek, Dust seemed ok but not great, Vita looked awesome and got to see things from Uncharted 3 that I hadnt seen before.  MS had Lara Croft which looked good and MW3 but nothing else that was exclusive and interesting til Halo and a whole lot of amazingly cringe-worthy stuff in between.  Its really hard to watch those 10 year old kids pretend to play a game and shout scripted lines at eachother which is where I feel the MS conference really became a letdown and made their presentation seem awful in comparison.
     
    edit: forgot about Gears3 for MS but wasnt too excited about it, on about the same level as resistence 3 for me in terms of interest level.

    Microsoft's conference was terrible. They spent 99% of their conference talking about the Kinect. All their speakers were horrible. Sony's conference was just as bad but at least they talked more about game titles coming out this year. They started out strong with Uncharted 3 then everything went to crap until they showed off the NGP and announced the price. Both companies need to abandon motion controls now. Nintendo is already abandoning them with their next console. They also need to stop targeting families and dubebros for their audiences and leaving out the hardcore gamers with disposable incomes who buy most of their stuff. It's ruining gaming.

    Sony had way too much talking  Jack Tretton just isn't good at this thing. He's not an engaging speaker at all and leaves me bored. And people are greatly exaggerating the amount of kids stuff shown at the MS conference.

    If they had shown Kingdom Hearts 3 I would've bought a PS3 instantly.

    Like most I'm surprised by the price of the Vita...rather cheap if hardware can prove to be as good as they say.
