If games is what we are ranking on at E3 then the PS3 is clearly the winner so far.

Pretty good look at all the game Sony has coming up the pipeline here http://us.playstation.com/e3-2012/
Even Sony spent 20 minutes on the "entertainment" crap. But yes, I'd say they have the best thus far of the 3.

This is a ridiculously long presentation with tons of talking for a collection of stupid mini games.

They're really spending a lot of time explaining an unbelievably simple minigame.

I just realized how bad Wii Fit U sounds. Is that a tailor?

Nintendoland will launch at the same time as the Wii-U! What an announcement. Why are they making such a big deal out of this?

The Nintendo conference was easily the worst of the bunch. Even Mincrosoft's was better than this crap.

Stop showing Nintendoland! Argh! What a let down.

Lol, what is this crap? A bunch of really bad looking fireworks. Wow.

Holy crap. It's launching in a few months and they don't even have a price point to announce? Didn't see that coming. Not really a Nintendo fan... that did nothing for me. Was it supposed to have more impressive graphic capabilities than the other 2 systems? Looked very 360-ish.

I just don't get it. Why show so many casual games?

Casuals aren't watching E3. They don't follow video game websites. They don't care. All you need is a commercial for games like Wii Fit, not a 10 minute demonstration at E3.

Nintendo had every chance to win E3, and they didn't.

I think I'll stick with my PS3 and PS+. Then again, I had no intention of actually buying a Wii U, but if there's one thing those presentations did it made me lose some confidence in Nintendo's ability to perform. This actually felt more like a tech demo for the gamepad than an actual console unveiling.

It basically was a tech demo. They spent 10+ minutes on "Nintendoland," which is basically a glorified tech demo showing you how to use the stupid controller.

My disappointment is palpable.

All Nintendo had to do was show Smash Bros or Zelda and they would have won.

I hate to say this because Nintendo was my entry into gaming, but they should just stop making consoles and focus on creating games. I haven't been excited about a Nintendo system since the N64. Sad.

Nintendo was by far the most dissapointing.

At least with XBox and Sony you knew they weren't going to be announcing a new system, and didn't really expect any major surprises, you just hoped they would show you some good new games.

But Nintendo had the show all to themselves in terms of releasing a new console and they just dropped the ball.

They are really lucky that Mario, and Zelda have the power to sell systems all on their own.

Apparently Nintendo has one last announcement on Spike/GT.

Yeah, pretty terrible. No surprises, nothing new.

It's really just the direction the industry is headed, however.

...yep, I've got franchise fatigue for every single one of the big games that was shown at E3 (except MAYBE Halo 4...we'll see).

The only three games I give a damn about now? DMC, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and NHL 13.

I don't know. I think there is a lot to be excited about on the PC front which really gets the shaft in terms of exposure at E3. Not really E3 related but Razer just announced a Mechwarrior Online controller that it's releasing. Looks pretty cool to me.

It's a sad day when an EA Sports game is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year.

I think Ubisoft, while I wouldn't consider a great company, had by far the best conference so far.

Mostly core games for the audience that was watching. Watch Dogs looks unreal and is the game of the show right now.
