So, E3's major conferences just finished today, and here's what I have to say:
Microsoft: Waaaayy too much about the Kinect. People go to E3 to see the latest and greatest, and if all you have to talk about is a bunch of casual titles, then I'm kind of concerned. On another topic of discussion, why on earth is Minecraft coming to the Xbox 360? Developed by another company? Being developed despite the fact that you have two other versions not even finished? Kinect support? Possibly a Kinect-only title? Who thought that was a good idea?
Sony: Even though there weren't very many surprises here, the PSV looks delicious, especially for the price. I just hope all the developers have the same idea as Naughty Dog does (about the touchscreen). The one bad thing is that you chose AT&T for the 3G service. Did you do any research about this decision?
Nintendo: The Wii U is what the Wii should have been. Unfortunately, it looks like you'll just be playing catch-up until you decide to beef up your console, and not try and make it like last generation's. The controller seems pretty uncomfortable, and although having a screen does have its pros, it overall makes the controller way too big. However, it looks like third-party developers are on-board with this console, with big names like Assassin's Creed coming to the platform. As for the 3DS, I'm glad to see you finally announced some titles, not to mention that they look really good. I'm not sure about the whole flying thing for Mario Kart, but StarFox, Super Mario, and... Super Smash Bros.!? I kind of want a 3DS now.
