What a solid E3. Really blew last year's let down out of the water! Even a little better than E3 04!
I watched the Sony conference live on Monday, and it sucked. They showed nothing for the PSP, some good trailers for the PS3, but then blew it by copying Nintendo's controller and having a horrible price for the PS3.
Sony E3 06 rating: 7/10
Nintendo really showed up. I can't express how let down I was last year when E3 passed and no big Revolution news, and no Mario 128! Well, This year had loads of Wii games and Super Mario Galaxy! I really think Wii will be awesome, and Super Mario Galaxy looks amazing! Also, announcing Star Fox DS and Yoshi's Island was great!
Nintendo E3 06 rating: 9/10
Microsoft didn't have much to show. 360 is already out so they don't have the whole "new console to show off " advantage that Sony and Nintendo had. I didn't really care about the Halo 3 trailer and the GTA IV announcement. Gears of War looks amazing though, Killer App right there!
Microsoft E3 06 rating: 5/10
What I've learned: Wii will rule, I'll be getting one at launch, 360 will be a great complement to the Wii, PS3's price isn't worth it at all, PSP still blows, and DS is looking to be as solid as ever!
