My personal grades for the 5 conferences:
Place 1: Nintendo - A
- They actually had a very good showing, first for a while now. Lots of promising games, which I'll only probably buy a few, among many of their beloved franchises. The 3DS was okay, but with Paper Mario on it I now have to get it. They didn't really show much of it in action besides commercials type presentations.
Place 2: Sony - B+
- Lagged at times, but they did a very good job at selling me on Move. I was considering skipping it altogether. They also had a solid lineup of games, as well as some great announcements with the exclusive content and versions (DLC and Move versions of games). I'm not sure about the 3D yet. I'd need to get a 3D HDTV first, which I doubt I will.
Place 3: EA - C+
- Some interesting games and presentations, but ended up being more same old type of stuff.
Place 4: Microsoft - D-
- Really, what were they trying to do? Horrible handling of selling Kinect to the public. They showed a few games, then went on to... I don't even know what to call it, with the Kinect. Their version of the Wii, with the ditching of hardcore gamers and such on release. The new Xbox was... underwhelming, as it doesn't add a whole lot, and still hasn't caught up to the PS3 technologically.
Place 5: Ubisoft - F
- Yeah, they had Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon, but do they really deserve their own conference?
