Who Won E3 2014?
Re: Who Won E3 2014?
Nintendo for me, easily. From my point of view nearly everything the Sony and Microsoft had to show was of the bigger/better variety, while Nintendo's was actually different and unique. As a person with a pretty good pc (even being a few years old) I don't see any reason to spend $400 on a new console, when I could spend $200-$300 on a new video card and be able to play everything available as good or better than consoles can for the foreseeable future. I know that's not everyone's situation, but that's why I'll probably never own a ps4 or x1 but I might own a WiiU someday

These are hard to compare... Very different styles of games.

Re: Who Won E3 2014?
Destiny is meh..a game that has similar to mechanics as Halo - not really all that interesting. I played some of the Alpha.
With that being said, the paintball game looks generic as hell, the mechanics look pretty dime dozen, if it wasn't made by nintendo and didn't have a lot of bright colors no one would care about it.
Final verdict between the two, buy Rainbow Six.

But people care about Destny...because it is being made by Bungie. That's much the same reason people care about Splatoon.
In truth I didn't see many new ideas for games at the majo pressers from anyone (certainly not from Nintendo). The only one that stands out on that front is No Man's Sky, from what i recall.

I'm gonna say Microsoft (and apparently I'm the only one so far 
).
Sony showed a bunch of nice things, but, their presentation rambled a bit. In part due to leaks, but, not a whole lot was new exactly. I find the potential of VR to be exciting. Despite having it to talk about, they spent more time on a streaming TV show. Playstation TV, but practically no Vita software.
Also, subjective, but they also chose to highlight some of the most tasteless content via Let it Die, and the Mortal Kombat X footage, offhand. There might be a market for it, and they may have had a later time slot, but some of that plain does not need to be on the main stage drawing applause. Sorry.
Overall, there were still plenty of cool things shown...but the same goes for last year. They had nothing there to really blow my mind or a must-have-console-by-release date kind of thing.
Nintendo had a focused presentation, and made sure there was coverage of their floor demos and all that too. Insofar as connecting directly with their audience, they were probably the best.
That said, almost zero surprises. Some of the titles that hadn't already been announced or shown, like Splatoon or Project STEAM, would likely have had almost no coverage without Nintendo's name on them (not judging the content, just saying, on other platforms these would have been in the indie montage). If it were Microsoft launching a line of NFC figures, the cries of ripoff would be endless.
Similarly, Nintendo can show a supposedly in-engine Zelda animation, and a Starfox tech demo, but get credit for showing gameplay and not CG trailers. Some other stuff might have been better served by it, like the Devil's Third or arguably Xenoblade Saga X, as they came across kind of rough in the stream.
There's a good lineup catered to the core audience that already was sold on the system. It also told me that practically nothing is coming for the Wii U if Nintendo doesn't pick up the tab to publish it.
Overall, good. I got a Wii U more or less for first-party titles, and this seems to be setting up a nice string of them for the next couple years. Like Sony though, it did nothing to change my mind.
Microsoft, on the other hand, actually succeeded in selling me on their system. Being fair, I'm still in even less of a rush to get an Xbox One than I am a PS4. However, the shift in focus to being all games, and some decent, varied reveals among them (Ori and the Hidden Forest, Project Spark, Phantom Dust, and so on) made me feel like the One will be shaping up better than I thought, sooner than I thought.
Admittedly, it's more my personal take on it. More or less, I would be more confident buying an Xbox One today than I would have prior to E3, due to MS's presentation. The other two did nothing to change my opinion of them.
I still think the PS4 will have the better lineup over time, and I'd say in general that we won E3 with great stuff on show from all three companies.
