I don't think Nintendo was EASILY the best out of the 3... I think gamecube was the best, but not by much... not as much as I expected... but that was when I was expecting maybe some RE4 details/screens, maybe a peek at PD0... and some other stuff... along with NOT expecting to see Silent Hill 3 for PS2...

And when I checked the gamefaqs poll about who had the best showing, I think PS2 was in the lead with 8000 something, closely followed by NGC with about 7000-7500 something... but that's just one poll on one site and it doesn't represent a very big portion of the gaming population yada yada yada blah de diggly doo... But I dunno... I wasn't even paying much attention to PS2 stuff, and I think it was close to Nintendo's showing...

But meh... *shrugs*

Trust me, Nintendo was not easily the best at E3.

I've watched basically everything I could get my hands on for both the Xbox and the GameCube, both their press conferences, all of their press releases, most of their videos. And from what I've seen, it's an opinion on who won.

Both companys offered so diverse games it's hard to say. I mean this is going to be a great year for Nintendo with all of their key franchises coming out, minus Zelda. But look at Microsoft, they are building some great 3rd party support. I mean there is Project Ego, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, a new Halo, Unreal Championship, Brute Force, Crazy Taxi 3, all coming to the Xbox. Now that is a great head-to-head lineup vs. the GC's lineup.

What it really comes down to is personal preferenece I believe in picking this year's E3 'winner.' I mean if you love all of your Nintendo franchises, hell your going to pick GameCube. And if your looking for that reliable, sometimes slow stream of good games, your going to pick Nintendo. But if you are looking for your console going online coming up very soon, great games from 3rd parties such as Sega, and exclusive titles from Microsoft, and war videogames, your going to pick the Xbox.

But lets not forget Sony's showing, it was fair. But I really do think the main battle for this E3 is GameCube vs. Xbox.

Well.... I personally think that Sony had the best show. Why? Because I already own the system, and I am looking forward to a bunch of games. Right now, I know for sure that I will be getting :

Stuntman
SOCOM: US Navy Seals
Madden NFL 2003
Red Faction 2
Timesplitters 2
Ratchet and Clank
GTA: Vice City
The Getaway
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4
Medal of Honor: Frontline


But.... On the other hand. Xbox had a great showing as well. There online stuff looks impressive... But... Only a few games really appeal to me. I dont know why. I mean, a lot of games look impressive... But I like my PS2.

Now... For GCN. This was a great showing. And with GCN's price drop, they are sure to sell like hot cakes once all of their hit games come out. I am waiting for another price drop... and when that comes, I will no doubt be buying :

Mario
SFA
ED
RE1
THPS4


There are probably some more... But I just can't think of any.

So, in my opinion.... Sony has the best quarter 3 and 4 line up. Who won E3? Well... I don't seem to recall that being the question that Crash asked...

i went into e3 (not physically) without any expectations at all, and Nintendo just blew me away more than any of the 3. Though the project ego (fable) info was awesome! Silent Hill 3 is cool, but it looks exactly the same as silent hill 2. Devil May Cry 2 was pretty cool too, as were a couple of ps2 games, but all the cool games were sequels (direct sequels).

Graphic wise, i have to say Metroid and Starfox Adventures were 2 of the best looking games that were playable. Zelda in motion was just awesome, and Mario in motion was far better than it was before and it just looked like soo much fun. The last game like Mario Sunshine was Mario 64, and that is sooo damn old. Unlike games for ps2 which get sequels every year.

That's why i thought Nintendo ruled, but yeah it was an opinion thing cause it depends on which games you like the most.

And we all know why that is, could it be the fact only one of those games will come out and it will sale really well then Nintendo will do what it always does a put back the other games to sale more of the first one total pissing off all its fans yet again! (Not that Nintendo would ever do that )
