Normally I roll through each conferrrence and give play by play review of what I liked and did not. Time is not really with me this time and I am going to make this short and sweet on what I thought.
Honestly with the exception of the new Metroid game not much peeked my interest with the Nintendo conferrence this year. In fact I though they were probably the worst this time around.
MS's conference I felt was second. I likked the new motion control thinie. Natal is it? But when I omes down to it I see some problems with no other way to do other than by with you body.
Sony, OMFG where have you been in like 3 or so years now? Oh yeah, bringing up the rear or at least that is whatI thought. Not this year. Ok I will admit it was looking like another bring Sony conference there at first with them kicking it off with the PSP which didn't really interest me following by the nobody gives fxck talk about Home. Games aside it was Sony new motion control scheme that won me over, big time. Very early into the presentation they gave the line that made the most sense too. It was something to the effect of early on when using the EYEtoy we learned that you needed some kind of controller still and I agree 100%. I just see some problems with what can be done with MS's approach as far a games are concerned. Proof to me was watching the guy paint in the MS conference, hardly precision but fine for my 4 year old. Compare that to the guy writing in the Somy press conferrence and how precise that was and you can see the difference.
Any wayI think a combination of both would probably be the best option but of the two I felt Sony's approach was superior as far as gamesare concerned where good control generally is very important.

Anyway, the conferences were 'eh'
I did like MS's approach by screwing the sales charts blah blah and going straight into games, demos, etc.. and Jack is right, I watched the Ubi conference as well, what a waste of time.
