Who Won E3?

Far from the most spectacular E3, 2010's event held little of note with regards to big announcements. Motion control systems had their formal debuts, new hardware was launched by both Microsoft and Nintendo and a couple of new titles were released into the wild. The question is, who 'won'?

Microsoft

+ Kinect lives up to its promises, and looks every bit as accurate as was claimed

+ The new Xbox 360 is a marked improvement on the current model

+ The Xbox looks to be moving forward in light of the shutdown of original Xbox Live

- Kinect is for casuals

- The whole conference was for casuals

- Microsoft tried to atone for this by giving out free 360s

Sony

+ Move looks very promising

+ Games lineup - extensive PSP catalogue, and Killzone 3 looks amazing

+ Kevin Butler

- Boring and monotonous Jack Tretton

- Continued persistence with PSPgo

- Playstation Plus sucks

Nintendo
+ New Zelda looks great
+ 3DS is amazing
+ Done-away with Cammie Dunaway
- Nintendo don't know how wi-fi works, blaming 'wireless devices' for controller interference
- Too much translation from Japanese to English
- No Vitality Sensor. Nobody really gives a damn about it, but it's the principle of Ninty casting aside their own product before it ever saw the light of day

Winner: Sony

Leaving Nintendo in its dust and Microsoft a distant third, Sony pulled this one out of the bag without having to resort to new hardware announcements, with a better all-round showing including the versatile Move alongside a stellar lineup of future titles.
