And the Winner of E3 2015 is...

More people seemed to prefer Sonys conference so I guess they are doing fine. They will just have to work harder to get your love.
Sony by a nose. They both had good conferences. Neither were "A" material, but they were both solid. I expected MS to walk away the clear winner, but Sony did better than I anticipated. Even though their games may be farther off, Sony put a lot of smiles on my face, whereas, during the MS conference, I was interested but basically like this 
(though the BC announcement was a nice surprise).
Nintendo was a sad, distant third. Really nothing much going on there at all. I guess we have to assume Zelda is shifting to the NX, and this was the Wii U's last gasp.
I consider the Ubi, Bethesda, EA, and S-E conferences in a different category than MS, Sony, and Nintendo. Among those, Bethesda was the king.

Four of the top five E3 games are PS4 console exclusive. I'd say that's a win. They also had game of the show, which is a win. They also showed more games in general, which is a win. They showed large support from Japanese publishers/developers which, I would call a win. They also received the most exclusive DLC from large third party exclusives, which my Mom tells me is a win. Oh and the PS4 is starting to distance itself graphically from the XBoxOne, which my fourth grade teacher told me was a win. Oh and Sony's show elicited the most/best reactions from the crowd which Jeff Gerstman says is a win.
But other than that, Sony didn't win anything.
Eh, I don't know about that... I'm seeing mixed opinions... and the only people who seem to clamor for a Sony victory seem to be deluded nostalgics, feeling grateful that games they looked forward to a decade or two ago are finally coming around (or in FF7's case, coming around AGAIN).
Please. It's no comparison... and anyone who thinks Sony won on substance/content is deluded. If Sony won anything, it's the hearts of the naïve.
Want to know why Flynn is delusional?
He said Microsoft "won" the part of E3 that had to do with games releasing in 2016.
He then listed three games. He listed Gears of War 4, Quantum Break, and CD (I'm not sure what that means)
He thought that those three games, one of which wasn't even at E3, beat out the entire 2016 lineup for the PS4.
I know we all say things that border on the edge sometimes but when you say dumb stuff like this, it has to stick right? I mean, it just has to.
Oh, and just to note:
Over 60% of people in this forum rated Microsoft's conference an "A"-range performance.
Not even 42% of people in this forum rated Sony's conference in the "A"-range... and Sony also had more 'fail' votes.

Breaking news: Teamxbox likes Xbox
Going to break it down in how I saw it.
xbox had better show for games this year.
Sony trailers of future games looked more exciting.
Sony lack of games this year covered up by 3rd party dlc and hardcore hype for shenmue and FF7.
Mega tones. Xbox had elite controller, rare collections and backwards compat. Sony had shenmue and FF7.
Both have lots Indies.
Game of show cuphead,
Close all round. MS wins on more AAA games coming this year. Sony wins on exciting the older gamer with shenmue and FF7.
How i see it. Own both consoles and prepare to play awesome games. Everyone wins.

It's not Team Xbox anymore, and hasn't been for years. There are massive amounts of Soony lovers on this site.
Recore was cgi and TR/Forza looked just like the last TR/Forza. The only games MS showed that appealed to gamers who don't enjoy everything so fruity and colorful was Halo 5 and Gears4. Recore seems interesting but we didn't see anything but cgi and don't know anything about it. I wasn't even excited for gears 4 but at least it looked good.
Stuff like Dream and that stupid rare pirate game don't even make it on my care meter.
What high grade exclusives are you talking about? I obviously can't say for certain but I'm willing to bet that most people who are similar to me who enjoy games like mass effect/halo/gears/horizon/uncharted don't tend to typically care for games that look like they came from Nintendos show floor. I mean obviously that's not true for all "core" gamers but I think it applies to a lot.
I don't think Microsoft showed much of anything for people like me. Granted Sony barely did much better but at least they knew how to sweet talk the fanboys with sweet promises of things they wanted. Kind of like what Microsoft did last year with my fake ass phantom dust announcement.
Add to the fact that sony showed the 2 most graphically appealing games and well...... Nothing at MS show looked as good graphically as uncharted or horizon. I think this s*** matters more than you think. Horizon wow'd people with not just setting but presentation and graphics too! nothing at ms show looked that badass and stylish and I think that goes a long way with people thinking sony won.
Man it did look bonkers. I've never even played a star wars game before but that s*** had me sold.
Voted gamers
Kinda disappointed that Sony did not allocate time to show games coming out later this year... Until Dawn, Tomorrow Children, Amplitude, Planetside 2, Persona 5, Rocket League, Tales of Zestiria... I'm interested in them all...
Are they still coming out this year?
I disagree. If you watch the trailer its has a more horror feel, slower paced and much more intense. The visuals were absolutely astounding and had an organic feel. I thought the same thing upon first watching the trailer, but then I went back and realized what they were trying to accomplish. I think Gears 4 is going to rock!
There's 3.5 times as many comments in the Xbox Discussion as there is in the PlayStation Discussion.
Flynn, you're not taken seriously on this site because you sprinkle in a little truth with a whole bunch of inaccuracies. I'm not sure why you're getting so much wrong but you have it the wrong way around. You're supposed to sprinkle in a few inaccuracies with a whole bunch of truth. You're like one of those Nintendo die hards during Nintendo's declining relevance back in the early 2000's. All flailing with no substance.
Your whole shtick relies on people not knowing how to use Google for goodness sake.
This entire post is bulls***. You know better than......wait a minute. Never mind.
