My choice is Microsoft as they needed a good show and didn't disappoint.
Shaun Layden is the worst suit in gaming, who seems more accustomed to selling used cars than technology
I would've picked MS but Elder Scrolls 6 has me absolutely titled... even though it's probably like 2-4 years out.
I like Shaun. He's awkward, but he seems sincere. He says good stuff about their mission. I've got no doubt Sony is on track, with him on board. They're delivering. Next gen is going to be good for them -- not as good as this one, but good. I'm talking in terms of games. They will launch with a stronger lineup in the first couple years than last round.
Anyway, I think Shaun is fine. He occasionally makes me laugh, and I like most of the stuff he says.
I like Phil, too, though. I like 'em both.
I honestly never even think of E3 in terms of "who won". I just love seeing the latest stuff. Being an Xbox guy, I loved MS's conference the best, and from a pure presentation standpoint, they were far and away the best.
Two of my faves (Rage 2 and Just Cause) were from Bethesda, but the conference was a slog.
Sony's conference format was the worst in years, but they had the corner on cinematically beautiful games.
EA was weak (Battlefield and Anthem were high points, though), and Ubisoft was a bit draggey though I loved seeing Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Great E3 for me. I don't know how I will survive next spring...
Be careful saying that...less rainbows..

Gaming shows should be about gaming is all m8.Be careful saying that...
It's pride month, and the gay mafia hitforce are in full swing. They've already taken down a CEO, COO and a TV exec, and they're just warming up.
When people I ask the question I just give the name/s of the companies with the most games I want. So this year... Sony: Ghosts, Last of Us 2. Ubisoft: The Division 2, AC:Odyssey. Bethesda: Fallout 76, Starfield.
I'm a gamer. Don't give a s*** about conference presentations or corporate speech or comapny purchases that will make nothing for the remainder of this gen. Games, Games, Games ,that is all I care about. Thankfully, E3 as a whole is always great for me. There are always a tonne of great games That interest me.
Similar for me. I bring up conferences because I can't stand sitting through a bad presentation. It takes away from what we are there for.
I am very interested in TLOU 2 and Days Gone from Sony. Ghosts of T looked nice, but it hardly set my hair on fire for gameplay shown so far. I actually lost some interest for SpiderMan after the presentation, and I still don't know what to think of Death Stranding despite it's nice visuals. The format was terrible and made it hard to even keep my interest.
I need to see more of that. MS had the best Show for me because they showed a ton of great games for their platform, and even Gears 5 was a pleasant surprise and looks great (after 4, I was less enthusiastic- not because it was bad, but it was just par-for-the-course). I got to see a nice little tech demo for the next Halo (tad disappointed it is taking so long), and there were a number of ID@xbox titles that caught my eye. They showed DMC 5, that From Software Samuri game (which looks great), and the Division 2. And of course, they showed Cyberpunk!
MS is a platform, and they highlighted great stuff for their platform. Forza Horizon 4 looks amazing. MS had a great showing and a very enjoyable format (outside of the Gamepass portion).
Rage 2 looks amaze-balls to me, as does JC 4 (also on MS's stage). Fallout means nothing to me, and until I see more than a logo, the same goes for Starfield. ES 6 is a very welcome announcement, but is so far away- Nothing but a logo there as well. I did not enjoy their presentation much. Too much stuff between seeing what we came for.
Ubi was boring outside of Beyond Good and Evil 2 (I was pretty surprised they showed so much in-game stuff), and the Division 2.
EA Had Anthem and BF V. I'm very interested in those.
