Well glad you finally see it that way. Now you and Val can stop turning everything into a console war.
Meh

No, I counted those people, with one hand...not including my thumb. My statement is still correct.
Bulls***, but I expect a lack of reading comprehension from you. You are so deep in your biases that I'm not surprised by your defense.No, this doesn't check out.
He said he preferred Nintendo's show because at least they provided him with one game he was looking forward to. A super rational, opinion based take.
You took issue with that because you seem hyper sensitive to anything Microsoft related.
Lay down your arms. The war is over.

If i seem defensive of MS it's because of hypercritical dick-sheaths that pop up everywhere.
So Nintendo shows one game (an existing ip, no less) and you are all good, but MS shows at least 4 existing IPs (with both Gears 5 (unexpectedly) and Horizon 4 looking completely awesome, existing or no) with Halo looking to be moving in a new direction and Crackdown looking improved- along with dozens of interesting 3rd party and some really cool looking indies, and THEY'VE shown nothing substantial... ok...
That was so good I could kiss you.So Nintendo shows one game (an existing ip, no less) and you are all good, but MS shows at least 4 existing IPs (with both Gears 5 (unexpectedly) and Horizon 4 looking completely awesome, existing or no) with Halo looking to be moving in a new direction and Crackdown looking improved- along with dozens of interesting 3rd party and some really cool looking indies, and THEY'VE shown nothing substantial... ok...

That was factually the worst opinion I have read at this website.Was it though?
For many many people, Gears is well past it's expiration date as a franchise and is in need of either retirement or a God of War style reboot. The Halo trailer was only an engine demonstration. Horizon 4 is a racing game that's getting long in the tooth and only appeals to a certain audience to begin with. Crackdown might look better than last year but it still looks like poo. You can't really rave about games that the industry is going to look back on and say "meh" after they release can you?
This E3 did nothing for the current XBox. Microsoft is committing to the franchises that got them in their current position in the first place.
You've got to be somewhat cognicent of the fact that there are plenty of people put off by the Gears, Forza, Halo grind of the past 10 years.
The best thing about Microsoft's conference was it's pace (thanks to a bunch of multiplatform games) and the studio aquisitions announcements.

Nintendo gets a pass for whatever reason. Since I got the awesome Zelda and Mario Odyssey, my Switch has been sitting in a drawer for a few months.
Now Nintendo is back to showing games that saw the Wii U fail.

Yeah, I notice that a lot on Resetera. It's like no matter what they do, Nintendo gets fawned over. I just attribute it to the fact that GAF/Era has always been very pro-Nintendo. I suppose you're right, though, that it's not just Era; it's a broader phenomenon.
Nintendo's always bringing us fresh, new IP like "Mario and his new gameplay mechanic" or "Smash Brothers" or "Pokémon Some Color" and "Pokémon Some Other Color, Buy Us Both" or "The Legend of Zelda: Stop Me if You've Heard This Before" or...
With that said, of course, a lot of their IP is awesome, even if most of it does predate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Nintendo gets a pass because they haven't been for forefront of gaming since SNES. Since then, core gaming, third party games, features, online and the most games come out on Xbox or PS systems.
It's like a BMW and Mercedes owner debating which is better. Both similar class, and similar enough in terms of features, price and performance.
They will butt heads all day, but each one of them won't care, and will probably agree that a 1990s Mazda Miata is a fun car even though it's 1/3rd the price, half the horsepower, and doesn't compare to current class of cars.
We need a bit of both.Yes, and the argument is also that apparently: quality, existing IPs are less important than new IPs that are new...
They showed 50 games that we can play on our Xbox. They showed that they have marketing exclusives for many more third party games. They showed that they are finally getting us Japanese games that people have been begging for. They showed 3 new Gears of War titles. They showed a new Forza Horizon title, which is coming off of a wildly successful Horizon 3 from 2 years ago, they showed a new Halo that is being re-imagined (and not milked like gamers have asked), they announced they that have 5 new first party studios that gamers have asked for....which will be making new games and IPs, they announced that Playground games (which they purchased) new 2nd development team is making a new open world RPG (most likely Fable), just confirmed is Undead Labs will have huge financial support to make State of Decay bigger and better than ever, Ninja Theory has an open checkbook and no MS intervention on new games. developed a new Santa Monica studio from the ground up. They bought Compulsion (makers of Contrast and We Happy Few) which will also being making new IP's for Xbox).I don't see how MS won,. They shown a lot of great game, but most are multi platform on matter the wordplay they use like 'Launch exclusive" & "Exclusive world premiere", & the real exclusive are the usual suspects, like Gears, Halo & Forza.
Granted I never watched the Nintendo feed, so I have no idea how they did.
I don't see how MS won.
Same can be said for Sony. Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Guerrilla Games and Media Molecule were all independent devs who Sony bought. Sony bought a lot more studios years back too, but disbanded some of them since.If Microsoft won it should because of the studios they acquired and not because they showed a bunch of games I can play on PS4

I think the only big name Sony games left done in house from the beginning are GT, God of War, TLoU, and their baseball game.
