Nintendo had a terrible show, I can't see why anyone would convince themselves otherwise.
The "Wii U re-reveal" was still incredibly half assed. No specs. No price. No date. On the system itself, it was just a new controller design and another controller option. The games, I don't like them, there was still no Metroid-Mario-Zelda like everyone was hyping. Well there was New Super Mario Bros. U (?) but NSMB is probably the worst way to start demoing a system's capabilities. Give us Super Mario Galaxy 3 with all those graphics and shit and then we'll talk.
Sony also had a bad show. Felt more like a software showcase that'd be on a podcast or something. Only two big "reveals" (Beyond and Wonderbook) and the amount they offered was scarce. Especially for the Vita.
Microsoft, I don't care what people say, I liked it. It was more tech oriented than gaming but SmartGlass is a cool idea and combined with IE9, the Xbox 360 is shaping up to be the multimedia console. Which I absolutely want.
Reveals wise, Ubisoft had the most, despite having a terribly written show. Aisha Tyler is a funny girl, just not here.
E3 this year was just bad.
