No, yeah Gamecube definately got hype...
Although it was mostly with Nintendo fans... "GLORY DAYS OF SNES!", that sort of thing...

But I definately see Nintendo having more potential to return to the "GLORY DAYS OF SNES!" this time around than they did with the cube... Sony's taking some big risks, Xbox caught on more than most people were expecting it to, and Nintendo's introducing something that COULD become the "next big thing", while at the same time being quite a bit cheaper than it's competitors (despite Nintendo saying they're not directly competing)...

Still though, we have to see how it all works itself out...

Edit: I realize Nintendo is also taking some rather big risks by introducing a controller so radically different, etc... But when I was referring to Sony "taking big risks", I was using it as a kinder way of saying "big mistakes"...

Ahh ok. Nintendo fans will always be Nintendo fans. Same with Sony and now MS. Some are more crazy then others.

I wouldn't say it was their best ever, but they showed up with some good stuff. There were cool titles for all systems, but overall none of the systems stood out as being particularly better than the others in my mind (except for maybe the DS which really has a ridiculously large amount of great titles on the way).


There were 3 games at E3 that made me go "wow", and they were Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3), Super Mario Galaxy (Wii), and Lost Planet (Xbox360).

I've once read a story that a lot of Xbox fans were only fans of the superior graphics, not of the Xbox itself.
They used to be the ones who had a N64 because it (often) had better graphics than the PSX. When the PS3 comes out, they might lose interest in their old 'n dusty 360.

At least that's what I heard....

Well the thing is, the PS3 will visually be as powerful as the 360. Anything further is stuff you can't see.

I'd love to hear EB employees just get fed up and tell them to get the Wii.

i disagree...do you remember what XBox 360 games looked like a year ago at the same stage the PS3 is at right now? wasnt as impressive...titles look a lot better in the 2nd year after the system's release
