This is a debate so I thought of putting this here. A mod may move this thread if needed. The thread is on which company had the best conference. Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony? Personally, Nintendo in my opinion had the best introducing more nostalgia games on 3DS such as Star Fox, Luigi's Mansion, etc. And the epic Wii U. So, tell who you thought had the best e3 this year.

Easily Nintendo. That could come from the fact that I've always supported Nintendo more than the other two, but after Sony's horrifically disappointing conference and Microsoft's second attempt at shoving Kinect in our faces there was really no competition either way.

From the start I'm going to say that Sony's out of the question. I've never liked Sony, and I have no interest in anything they're selling. As far as I'm concerned the only good things I've bought from them were a PS1 and a TV.

As for Microsoft, I am a fan of the 360, and I realise that there were quite a few hardcore non-Kinect games, but almost all of them were generic FPSes which, to be quite honest, I've got enough of and they're beginning to bore me. As for the Kinect games themselves, I do own a Kinect but I'm not too interested in any of the announced games, with the exception of Minecraft (Though I'm still a bit skeptical, I want to see what they can do first).

Nintendo blew me away, right from the start. There was so much enthusiasm and charisma from all the presenters, and the conference felt really well thought-out and executed, with no technical problems and few slip-ups on stage. The five big 3DS games all have me some what interested, especially Luigi's Mansion 2. The Zelda announcements (Especially Four Swords for FREE) along with the orchestral pieces at the start really got me in the mood for some Nintendo!

As for the Wii U, I was hoping for more of what it can do, but it still looks really good and I'm intrigued as to what developers will be able to do with it. Nintendo answered all our questions and gave us a thousand more. With so many great announcements and so much to think about, Nintendo was a clear winner in my eyes.

Nintendo, for several reasons:

1. The EPIC Zelda Intro (I teared up during it, no joke)
2. Being so ambiguous about the Wii-U (it makes people interested, though they strangely don't realize it xD)
3. The Wii-U itself

Even though I haven't actually seen videos or anything, I still would have to say Nintendo because of the new 3DS games shown (Especially Mario Kart 3DS) and the Wii U.

Nintendo has the best E3 presentation almost every year it seems.

Ignoring my bias, I would say that Nintendo hands-down won this year's E3. The orchestra at the beginning was a great precursor to the many exciting announcements up Nintendo's sleeve, especially Luigi's Mansion 2, SSB4 and, most importantly, the Wii U. Nintendo and its people seemed way ahead of the other gaming companies in terms of originality and presentation, even though I thought Sony did a better job than the previous years (while Microsoft completely lost it). As a result, Nintendo faced absolutely no sizeable competition neither from Microsoft nor from Sony, which makes it the clear winner of this year's E3.

I've gotta say Nintendo, for... Well, all the reasons listed above. Sony did alright with the Vita, but so much was already known about it, it seemed like they weren't even announcing anything.

I have a kinect... Anyways, Microsoft has come up with Kinect, they got Halo Reach out, and Black Ops was introduced into the xbox too. Lets not forget that Assasains creed revalations is also going to come out for it. But I think Nintendo is tied for it, for the 3ds pokemon games, and other great games that i am too lazy to mention.
