StingingVelvet: I doubt anyone not already interested in Nintendo-style games will suddenly be interested, though.
It's hard to justify buying a whole console just for the occasional Nintendo game; third-party support is essentially gone forever (I don't think any of the third-party games shown at this E3 have Wii U versions). Nintendo haven't even delivered on all of their own IPs--the new Zelda is probably at least a year away.

The Microsoft and Sony shows weren't strong either but both are certain to sell consoles now that some major new games are not getting last-generation versions.

StingingVelvet: I would definitely agree they did the best job at selling people inclined to get the system to go out and do it. I doubt anyone not already interested in Nintendo-style games will suddenly be interested, though. If we're talking swaying generic console gamers into getting a next-gen system to encompass the popular tastes of the day, I would say Sony is still winning that war.
Definitely. People who don't like Nintendo games won't suddenly turn into Nintendo fans. But for people that do enjoy Nintendo classics, there's no denying that Nintendo offered the best and most original games. Splatoon is a pretty original concept, Captain Toad seems like a fresh take on the 3D platform genre and Mario Maker was really cool, well, Little Big Planet was the first one to bring the concept of making stages and sharing them online to consoles, but i guess there are a lot of people out there who wanted that in a Mario game (just look at how many romhacks the Mario games have, it's probably the most modded console game ever). I certainly did. And then you have classic franchises making a comeback, like Starfox, Mario Party 10, Super Smash Bros, an open-world Zelda, Kirby, Yoshi. That's everything a Nintendo fan could ask for. Oh, and there's Xenoblade X which looks awesome.

But to people who don't enjoy Nintendo games i think Bayonetta is the only game that looks appealing. Bundling it with the first game was an awesome idea, seriously.

But if we're talking about generic games that sell a lot, then i guess Sony takes the lead.

It's hard to justify purchasing the Wii U as a "first option" because of the total lack of third-party support. But as a second option, it is the best choice in my opinion. For example, i already have a decent PC, so if i had to choose just one single console, i'd certainly go with the Wii U since most third-party Xbone and PS4 games come out on PCs anyway.

Pheace: Most of the excitement here was for Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect 4, Sims 4, Dead Island 2, Civilization Beyond Earth, Borderlands the Presequel, Mirror's Edge 2, Pokemon Sapphire, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

Also Metal Gear Solid V, Kingdom Hearts 3, Persona 5, Uncharted 4 and Samurai Warriors 4, sadly we don't own the consoles needed for those.

...

So many sequels D:

Elmofongo: HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE WITCHER 3 WILD HUNT :O
I didn't. I just never really felt that connected to the Geralt character. The gameplay looked great though, but I'd put it somewhere around the same point I'd put Shadows of Mordor atm, a game that looks interesting and I might play at some point, rather than the games above, which I *will* play (assuming I have the equipment)

I always like "brooding takes everything serious and thinks jokers like Nathen Drake are idiots" charactes like Geralt.
All PC games at e3

Thanks, very useful.
Just to get them out of the way, my favorite shows of E3 are No Man's Sky (Hands down), Elite Dangerous, Codename STEAM (One reason to keep my 3DS, but there's some problems... Namely, one difficulty and no permadeath), Civilization: Beyond Earth, The Witcher 3 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Also, Ubisoft keeps on shooting itself on the foot. I'm not all that excited about Assassin's Creed Unity, Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry 4 (Or 4 Cry), and The Division. (Although I'm interested to see how it goes on the PC.)

EA? Eh... I'll just get a better computer for Payday 2.
EAs CEO looks like Handsome Jack from Borderlands.

I am surprised Resident Evil 7 has not been revealed. And I wonder after Resident Evil 6, where the fuck does the series go after what happen. Probably the same Resident Evil 6 gameplay.
Just found out about the PS TV coming to America, pretty excited about that.

Edit: I may have said it in a previous post, but Hyrule Warriors is looking a lot better than it did at its introduction.
