Facebook says that Sony won the E3 conference war

To me, it was clear to me that Sony had the best press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). And the data from Facebook reinforces that, based on a social media analysis of the impact of the different press events on what people were talking about.

[Thatguy-310]

It's obvious what conference had the most buzz.

[Gaming_Cousin]

Sony announced exclusives. Microsoft announced multiplatforms.

[Aura7541]

I'm tempted to call Microsoft's E3 conference the PC Pre-Gaming Show from now on.

[GTgamer]

Microsoft needs PC gamers they are trying to get some sales if that don't work they coming for Nintendo fans too 😂

[subtenko]

Windows 10, windows 10, windows 10, windows 10, indige, next title coming to windows 10. xbox one s, xbox Scorpio teasing.

Ok Microsoft, ok....

[TheBurger29]

As a pc player ms won big time. I get to play with all my old xbox friends again and enjoy some good games that I would not have been able to.

[Camo]

IMO The new zelda blew everything else away. I was amazed when I saw it.

[phoenix_dusk]

Would Facebook lie? 😗

[Unspoken]

I hear Trump is popular on Facebook too.

[YinYangGaming]

OMFG we're going to Facebook to validate our arguments of who "won" E3 this is a new low

[lastking95]

Lol nothing really surprises me anymore, this should be expect by now. It like saying GT sport or crash remaster is better than horizon because more were talking about it lol.

[XBgamer]

LOL good point but just give them the win it's much easier that way less crying.

[dp277407]

Thats so sweet giving Sony the win.

[S2Killinit]

Except GT kicks forza butt all day long. Not to mention it will be VR capable. So yeah.

[senorfartcushion]

All racing games are bad because i don't like them.

Who cares about VR? It is just virgins haven't a more intimate porn session.

[Deadpooled]

It's the same as seeing what's "trending" on Twitter and the number of tweets on the trending subject. Such figures are used to gain general interest and if Sony's conference gets more interest than the other conference then in general people are more interested in the Sony conference.

[senorfartcushion]

Hahaha i know.

Fanboyism is the football holliganism of video games.

N4G is The Football Factory.

[pompombrum]

Don't need Facebook to tell us that.. they owned the show with their exclusive announcements, God of War looked incredible, Spiderman exclusive is pretty HUGE considering the popularity of Marvel franchises these days, a VR showcase that certainly convinced me I made the right choice to preorder PSVR and best still, they kept unnecessary talking to a minimum. The live Orchestra was just the icing on the cake.

[gamer7804]

I thought days gone was the most interesting personally. God of war, I just didn't like what they showed. Sure it looked good but I actively was turned off by it. Spiderman. Well I just haven't liked any of the Spiderman games but perhaps his could be different. I'm also not sure about VR yet. I don't want to spend near 500$ on a peripheral if I also can't use it on a pc. everyone has different tastes though like on this site O Sony comments will usually get more likes than vice versa. I can easily see why some would think Sony's was better if they preferred the games shown and psvr. However personally I think Microsoft showed more potential, specifically growing the market and embracing pc as well and integrating the platforms. I love getting new platform features as I always have more than enough games to play. That said I would love to see MS release a fantasy genre game since they no longer have fable. Something like a dragon age high fantasy. I have all three systems and a vita. I love Sony's console for all of it's Japanese / Japanese influenced games that MS just can't get ahold of any of that market.

[lastking95]

Not exactly a way to judge.
1)it varied by site another had MSs get more hits others sony.
2) PS has been around longer and has the bigger fanbase it should get more talks.

My bad shouldve posted the link http://venturebeat.com/2016...

Btw the imsosalty.com made me laugh thats a good one xD cant even get mad. On second thought im glad i didnt post it at first, just made all you look bad lol. LastKing son, dont mess with me.....you'll lose.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

What site was that

[Utalkin2me]

imsosalty.com

[Kryptix]

He contradicted himself and inserted terrible logic with both statements together.

He says, in others sites MS got more hits and shows no proof.

Then he says, PS has been around longer and has the bigger fanbase so that's why.

So why doesn't line #2 apply universally if that's completely true? What makes these other sites different that the larger fanbase doesn't apply?

Yea, just another fanboy trying to make excuses on factual data and failing.

[johndoe11211]

A number of them actually: xbox.com, misterxmedia.com, thisisxbox.com, microsoft.com, majornelson.com and Imasadsadxboxfanboy.com

[lastking95]

http://venturebeat.com/2016...

I dont lie ppl everything i say is fact unless i say imo. Didnt i teach you this with halo 5 sales?

[BiggerBoss]

What site did MS get more hits on? I'm just curious

[lastking95]

http://venturebeat.com/2016...

Lol salty disagrees xD

[AndrewLB]

http://venturebeat.com/2016...

If you read the fine print, they include metrics from Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Tumbler, and Wiki. That's a much larger group of users than just facebook.

[DragonDDark]

That game is timed dude

[SatanicEyeJesus]

The orchestra itself was already better than the other conferences. If we talk about games, well... From this point it would be unfair. Only Zelda was a real attraction.

[2cents]

What's the prize?

Salt.

[Playable_Gamez]

No I won E3.

[corroios]

Sony already won this gen and microsoft shoot the first bullets for the next gen with Scorpio.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Nobody is talking about Microsoft's conference or even Nintendo's, Sony's games are the buzz of the internet, that's how you know, you don't need these stupid charts to tell you so. I haven't been this satisfied with an E3 in a while, I got a sla dunk of dope games, and I have much to enjoy on PS4.

[oktob3r]

honestly, who the fuck cares? regardless cool games were shown at either conference and if your a fanboy i'm sure your console has cool stuff coming. if not it's just a great time to be gaming

[Gh05t]

No, we must have these petty rivalries... Without picking sides how would I be able to tell which games I like and don't like!

[Elda]

So glad to be a PS4 owner! Sony's conference blew the comp right out of the water far as showcasing games!

[Sweendog007]

It's all about views , all
The conferences where great and had dull and great moments and cheesy stuff ... Either way lots to look forward coming to , wether your song or Xbox or PC , the gaming industry is changing in big ways with the Xbox one Scorpio and PlayStation Neo .. Both making new gaming markets

All conferences won

[ElementX]

Since when was there a war?

[Utalkin2me]

Right? You have to have competition first to have a war.

[XBgamer]

Sony always wins E3 heck even if they didn't turn up they still would've won!

[SpeakTruthAlways]

Congrats Sony, fantastic presentation and to the point content, no filler, no embarrassing talks and behaviour, a new standard has been set. Let the games to the talking.

[Tzuno]

I won, as a gamer :)

[MCTJim]

Facebook also say Oculus Rift is the better VR experience.

[Rude-ro]

It is second on THE best but ahead of psvr... It should be if you have the right rig. That is just common sense.

[Liqu1d]

And? It's a product they're trying to sell so what else would they say?

[AmUnRa]

Yep, Sony is on fire, about 3 years in a row. And the exclusive games keep on coming and coming and coming.
Its a good time to be a PS4 (PC) gamer🤐

[sorenx]

Noting really have. Me a wow factory in Sonya conference. No Gameplay for last guardian God of War looked ok but the camra sucks. Horizon looked like many other games already out only wow factor was zelda. All the other games kinda all looked the same

[AmUnRa]

That ladies and gentleman is the by far the worst trolling i ever seen on N4G.
Sorenx you are bad at trolling. Very bad.

[sorenx]

I'm not trolling I stated a opinion other games barely showed Gameplay why would I have a wow factor on games that show noting but 2 min of Gameplay? No really play all the games on split screens and see how they look alike. I'm just bored of the realistic games it's boreing I live in real life I don't care for games looking real when everyone is making games that look real. There's no real art and make ing characters look exactly like the voice acters

[rlow1]

Debate over!! Facebook has spoken, now we can go back to our regular lives............thank you Facebook.

[Relientk77]

The majority of people say the same.

Sony killed it

[xtheblackparade]

Sony indeed draws the most attention, but facebook, c'mon. That's not where the gamers discuss their games.

[PizzaSteve]

Well yeah Sony knows how to bring the best.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Yep.
Nintendo got best game and Sony got best conference.
Microsoft got quite a bit of talk for their Scorpio and XB1S reveals, as well.

All in all, all three did a really good job of holding strong, this year.
Next year is going to be extremely interesting...

[WickedLester]

It was obvious to everyone who wasn't a MS fan boy.

[opinionated]

And I thought using metacritic was the dumbest reference people are using these days.. I stand corrected.

[S2Killinit]

They won it hands down.

[WellyUK]

dunno I feel Sony just has the biggest bunch of fanboys going, they could announce a plain piece of paper with PS logo on it and people would still say they won e3.

Their Conferences was solid but when all they do is announce games that aren't out for years and then show games that are all heavily influenced by Naughty Dog just shows that they are just trying to make 12 hour long movie games which are great and all but for me Sony badly lacks a BIG MP exclusive and games that your going to play for more than 12 hours.

Xbox conference was poor because all their games were leaked before and then making everything go with windows 10 as well, just makes more reasons to not buy an xbox.

Feel the BF1 and TF2 showcase at the EA play event was the best for me as I just prefer those types of games.

[medman]

There never was any question about it....Sony brought the hammer, and they used it liberally.

[King_Lothric]

We didn't need this to know that. It was pretty obvious. Microsoft conference was good but it was like a Windows 10 conference filled with the same old cycle Halo, Gears and Forza. The only thing I liked on MS conference was Scale bound and is also coming to PC.

[MachuchalBrotha316]

PS4 games did impress...and I liked they kept it about games. Not taking anything away from the Xbox S and the Scorpio tease, which was still my favorite part of show. Maybe less Minecraft next time...haha

[Gman32]

Nah Microsoft won to me plus they showed games coming out this year sony did not other than two games coming out this year

[wutang4ever]

Sony took a sh*t on MS

[nub_cakes101]

Xbox is dead

[Dan_scruggs]

Yeah. Sony was fine. Till you start think about the release dates (or lack there of).

[NecoTehSergal]

I mean, since Facebook declares it, they have the final say, obviously.

[trooper_]

N4g.com

[death_gun]

they had a spectacular show this year

I honestly didn't expect to enjoy the it as much as I did

props to sony for a great show!

[jcnba28]

Facebook? LOL

[CrimsonWing69]

Facebook is right

[jessionpc]

Common sense says that Sony won E3.

Jeez, wtf is with extrovert tribalistic mentality on this site? We don't need an icon to say the obvious for us in order for it to be true.

[ASSASSYN]

Won what?

[babadivad]

Sure they did.

[assdan]

Yeah, the animation seemed a bit off to me as well. I'm hoping that it's kind of just stand in right now because this game still over 8 months away.

[NeoGamer232]

Yup. Because Facebook is a reputable source to declare winners and losers. Facebook talks about Donald Trump all the time. Does that mean he has won the presidency?
