Since they had multiple PLAYABLE demos of their new games instead of CGI its no wonder they dominated E3, even without FFXIII they would of won

They where all meh. Why does it matter if Sony uses CGI for debut teasers ..... PS3 has already proven it can match CGI....KZ2. No one gets mad when MS, Blizzard or anyone else in the industry uses CGI Teasers lol.

They left KZ2 out of the conference so that RE2 could shine. Which it did its all about Scale with that game and the graphics are pretty sweet for a game with such a large scale. RE2 Beta is going to be sick. I love the way you wrack up points per shot/damage. Both games bring fresh funfactor to FPS.

However I would give MS the win here just for the simple fact that MS is showing how much it values the RPG, and lately I wonder if Sony realizes that they are missing something ....that normally is plentifull on PS consoles. Heres to a bountifull Leipzig and TGS showing in the RPG department.

That being said Sony wins due to the fact they actually brought some new interesting ip's and Kratos to the table. 256 players on the battlefield is more substantial then we get a version of FF13 too. I am excited to see just how good GoW3 will look in-game now.

its gametrailers what did u expect they were the same people that put a grid version up saying the 360 is better than the ps3 only for us to find out it was the ps3 showing. how can showing of multi plat games make u win, and ff13 is still coming to the ps3 and its exlusive in japan. to me ms is second while sony is first, sony showed of exlusive games and all there multi plat was put in one video, and they had more exlusive on show..as for nintendo i HATE THE WII i dont even wanna talk about them, its all about the.... PS360

No way!!! I totally did not expect Microsoft to win this award. GameTrailers is always full of surprises.

/sarcasm

Because live demos of multiplatform games that will be on the show floor in a couple of hours offers so much more than heralded sequels to well established franchises and new IPs.

Give me a break, Sony won by a country mile. But in the end, each of the big three could have improved their conference a bit more. Well, except for Nintendo. They're lost to me.

Well, at least GameTrailers can sleep soundly tonight on pillows fluffed with endless green.

SONY!!!

Sony showed the games.. They had the most exclusive games and they had the best exclusive games. Sure sony could have done what MS did and showed a bunch of multi plat games but why would they when they have a ton of exclusive games to show that would fill up there conference.

Now MS needed to show all the multi plat games because they dont have too many exclusive games to show and thats what they did. If you want to say MS won E3 because they showed a bunch of multi plat games than i guess SONY won too because they have the games too.. So it really makes no sense..

I thought E3 was all about the Games.. And sony showed the games baby and new games too exclusive to there system..

MS = lips, scene it 2, fable, too human, gears 2, and avators/netflix.

Sony = infamous, mag, LBP, god of war, killzone 2, resistance 2, socom, motorstorm 2, and home/movie store..

Yeah F**king right!!

Sony should have won by far! GOW3, MAG, LBP, Resistance2, Infamous Motor Storm2, PSN games! Damn!

360's avatars are a rip-off of wii's Mii's LOL, looks so cheap.

Sony's Home is ten times better than that!

Look at Sony's demos Damn! Resistance Damn!

Also the best presentation goes to Sony, Nintendo had the most F**ked up screens along with MS.

Sony Showed of PURE games at E3 nobody can argue with that!

just leave it folks ... E3 is over! Look forward to other shows (TGS, etc). According to GT, Microsoft narrowly won (whatever that means). Just leave it and move on!

wangdiddy82 - 522 days 13 hours ago

didnt like every ps3 exclusive game win "best game at e3 awards"..

Little big planet = multiple websites chose this as the best game at E3.

Infamous = I know g4 said this was there best game at E3.

Killzone 2 = I know a couple of gaming sites gave this game best at e3..

I dont think i have seen one 360 exclusive game win best at e3 yet.. So how did they win?? showing multi plat games and avatars... lol..

that guys friend with the HD tv watching Hockey.

Rogers guy - "52 inch's of glorious HD".

friend - "Thats not HD"

rogers guy - "Yesss it is"

friend - "No it isn't, its distorted, look how squished*** is"
(I don't know his name)

rogers guy - No he's just short"

friend - "Short"??

rogers guy - "Yeah".....

that's exactly how everyone acted when they seen MS crap show at E3, their mind were clouded.

MS = fake HD rogers guy, denying the fact that they had the worst showing of anything.

LMFAO!!

to say Microsoft, wow when these game sites talk about the ff13 going to 360, they always make it seem like as if its xbox360 exclusive and seem to forget the ps3 has it also. meh i want IGN to do a video like this and i bet Sony would win.

I'm sorry to break your bubbles, but Sony speaking about the Playstation 2 was a waste of time and ruined the whole conference for me. Is the PS3 so bad that they need to back it up with how many people have bought the PS2? Also, what Sony showed was something everyone knew about, LBP is getting old by now as well, but a great presentation, everyone knew that God of War 3 was coming, but nobody saw FFXIII coming to the Xbox or the whole new dashboard plus Netflix for the lucky ones.

It doesn't matter what Sony had up its sleeve; FFXIII went multiplatform, that outshines pretty much everything Sony can come up with.

In terms of what both offered in total and what real gamers would likely favor I honestly cannot see how Microsoft had won overall. I mean it basically was not necessarily ANYTHING new in terms of what would be brought to revolutionize the industry. I mean, multiplats are okay but I don't think you can accurately call FFXIII a multiplat due to the fact that it really is a timed exclusive for the PS3. Most of what Microsoft offered was in fact carbon copies of what the competition already offered. Like Lips, You're in the Movies, and Avatars. It really did not in the least seem like a productive conference or innovative especially due to the fact that all of these concepts were executed last gen (avatars is technically Miis but since Wii is last gen hardware repackaged I might as well count it.) I mean when you look at what real gamers wanted you really cannot say that Sony did not offer more.

Between KZ2, MAG, INfamous, GOW3, R2, Resistance PSP, and the multitude of PSN content in terms of just games. I think that in reality Sony was the winner because they did not show things that were drifting away from what E3 was all about but rather offering exactly what gamers really wanted. Remember CES is for regular consumer electronics, E3 was always for the core gamers and to see Microsoft win overall for doing nothing but going against the principle of what E3 and the game industry was about it really is unjustified.

I mean all these gaming sites seem to be losing site of what real gamers want to see, hear, and really play. And gamers everywhere were not jumping for joy to hear all of microsofts announcements.

...Sony won.
The end.
Can we stop talking about this now?

And what da f*ck did Microsoft win with? Ripoffs? Announcement of a game that won't even help them in Japan and probably won't help them in the U.S? Sony, by far showed NEW GAMES. Their presentation was really nice and Tretton cracked a few jokes here and there.

STOP F*CKING OVER SONY GAYTRAILERS.

I can't believe Sony fanboys are still surprized by this when Sony's biggest news was two CGI movies of games one in which folks already knew was coming lol.

Why do PS3 fanboys keep saying 360 fans have to wait untill 2010 to play FF13 as if they're all from Japan all of a sudden?.

Once again the open zone will be full of..

"Their opinion is not like mine, FAIL!"

Come one guys, this is what GT though, what matters to you is what you though. For myself I think it was a close call.

As E3 keynote's go,

MS's was a BAM! ZIP! WOW! kind of Show,
Sony was a BAM! ZIP! Uhh?
Nintendo's was a Boink! Wiggle! ok now, WTF?

That's just my opinion, I respect and recognize yours...
