I'm not really that impressed by any of them. They all showed more or less what I was expecting. I was a bit surprised by the quality of the graphics displayed during the Sony event though. Some of that stuff was crazy.

Why the hell don't people make the polls public anyway. Then at least people wouldn't have to be in denial when they see a poll that has clearly been manipulated.

I honestly wanted to, but I pressed "submit poll" before I remembered to tick the box. Can a mod change that, or is it too late?

Nintendo had the best presentation, so I voted for them. However, I'm more impressed with the games for PS3. As 'revolutionary' as the Wii is, MGS kicks its ass quite thoroughly.

Since Nintendo "won" and all does this mean their new console will actually get supported? I mean can I expect more than 5 games to be released for it? Actually I could give a flying crap about Wii. The only thing I care about is Twilight Princess and that will play just fine on my Gamecube. Although the best news from Nintendo was the unveiling of a functional controller. Yes not everyone wants to look like a young child with down syndrom while playing their videogames.

http://media.revolution.ign.com/medi...g_3556221.html

On principle alone I refuse to use that ridiculous controller.

The dude playing Metroid 3 actually did a bulletime "John Woo" sideways lunge at one point. I'm thinking at this point if the videogame industry crashed it would actually be a saving grace.

You're staring at me like I just asked you what the fucking square root of something.

I've never seen such ignorance in my life. You should do a liitle background research before saying things like "more than 5 games". I'll personally paypal you 10 dollars if you still "refuse to use that ridiculous controller" within 1 month of the Wii's release and people are playing it all around you.

It's people like you who hinder innovation and cause video games to lack in.... oh I dunno... Gameplay?

Not everyone wants to spend $500-$600 for better graphics.

How is that funny? I love how people get off at making fun of people for no apparent reason.

Oh no why not just make fun of Aardvark for his only PC vote or for the people who voted for what was clearly the worst of E3 (sony)

I mean the post was just worthless, and now this one is stooping toward worthlessness as well.

(Kavanaugh hands out a piece of gum) Aceveda: No thank you. Kavanaugh: Nah come on this is a fresh pack, it's Juicy Fruit. (Aceveda stares at him for three seconds...)Aceveda: I said no...thank you. (holds it out still) Kavanaugh: hold this out long enough some people feel compelled to take the gum, it's a sign they'll crack under pressure. Aceveda: (with a smug look) I know. - The Shield

Probably because a vote for what I'm going to assume was most likely Spore if you pay more attention to PC gaming and not console gaming makes sense. I dunno. Why don't you ask Aardark if you think it's so important? =/

It's funny because it's stereotypical. I'm not making fun of you, I'm laughing at the fact that the only two people to vote for Microsoft here is you and Tube, that's all.

This poll only proves that some here are full of shit. I don't like Nintendo or Microsoft and I can objectively say that Nintendo won the show with MS finishing in a close 2nd. What did Sony have aside from MGS4? If anything they proved to be full of BS in last year's E3 cause I don't see their killer ap, KillZone, anywhere on the show floor. Didn't they claim that to be real-time gameplay? Lol, ok.. WHATEVER.

Here's another post without reading context.

XBox didn't exactly wow me, but I didn't expect it to. I'm not too much of a sucker for game demos at E3.

Sony maanged to completely lose my interest in the PS3 with that ridiculous price tag. Honestly, do you REALLY think enoguh people can afford $600 to justify the price?

Nintendo, however, got my complete attention with their Wii stuff. I don't care what the price is, since I've heard it's $300 or less, I just care about that there are GAMES now that we can judge the Wii remote's gameplay with, and god damnit, the games look interesting. Since the controller came out I knew it all hinged on bringing the right games out for it, and that's where Nintendo got my attention.

I won't be getting a PS3 until it drops. A lot. Not even when Final Fantasy XIII comes out. Now that I think about it, I got both Sony systems 2-3 years after they came out anyway. So I might as well keep the streak going.

Wii wins E3, in my opinion.

Who's the 3rd Microsoft voter? Own up.

For the 14 of you who missed the Nintendo conference, it should be up for download at Gamespot now.

EDIT: I agree that the Sony showing was the worst, that's painfully obvious, but Sony will always have its supporters who vote for them no matter what.
