I'm a Nintendo fan, but their E3 showing this year was really weak. Sony didn't really have that much, either. With Rock Band 2 coming to Xbox360 first, and the surprise FFXIII announcement, Microsoft definitely had the most exciting array of news.

i still think overall, the Nintendo conference sucked balls; they only announced a few games(small few of them will suck), and talked nothing but stats and numbers(SHIT PRINTS MONEY, YO!!!)

im waiting for PAX, GC Leipzig and TGS for the bigger announcements.

I'd describe it more as Microsoft taking the bronze and the other two not even placing.  Aside from FF XIII, Microsoft didn't have much to show for unless you're a Netflix subscriber, so no gold or silver for them.  Nintendo didn't have much to show either, except maybe the add-on that's supposed to improve Wiimote accuracy.  Sony?  Dead last in my book, especially with reintroducing the 80GB as a regular production model...except it isn't the 80GB we're all familiar with.  It's a 40GB repacked with an 80GB drive, complete with lack of backwards compatibility.  Yeah, it's going to be fun at work trying to explain to customers that all the new 80GBs after the MGS4 bundle won't play their PS2 games, even though previous 80GBs did.  >:(  ::)
