The E3 Press Conferences RoundUp

It was funny, I was having a chat via email with Dubious Quality’s Bill Harris about the E3 conferences.

He was very moist about the Microsoft one, and I was like BFD, because Rock Band is a multiplatform game and there was nothing that made it stand out from the other 2 versions.

He said he bet me I would think MS is the best after all of them showed their stuff.

Sony’s was interesting with the PSP GO! but $249? Definitely not consumer friendly…why would I buy this when I have a $169 PSP already? I can put 16GB of memory in my current PSP with no problem….and I lose screen space? Wow, where do I sign up.

The games were pretty cool…God of War 3 and the Rockstar Exclusive game would have easily beat out everything…but they aren’t coming anytime soon.

So the Sony one was meh in my book.

Nintendo took a play out of the Microsoft conference, announcing sequel after sequel. Of course these are games that are always interesting to play..although they went sequel happy, they did put in new features that intrigued me, like the 4 player co-op Mario game.

Wii Fit Plus wasn’t a surprise, but the Motion stuff was interesting – and we get it next week.

Overall I’d say it was a push between Nintendo and Microsoft. Sony failed to impress because everything was so far out. The PSP Go would have impressed but not at that price point.
