You can't judge the entire network and it's history towards Nintendo based around unrelated events from a convention 5 weeks ago. Since I've had the network, I've noticed an overall abundance of Anti-Nintendo mentality at the network. As for E3...The convention only serves to get the gaming community jazzed about upcoming games. That's the whole point of E3. To get people worked up about the games they'll want over the next 18 months, and get investors interested in buying them. So no one can really use the success of the convention against them for doing the very thing they set out to achieve.Originally Posted by zmweasel
But speaking of E3 anyway... Sony for one, had their equal amount of fanboys. Xbox seemed the coolest of the bunch as far as fans. How else do you explain PSP winning best of show for a system that wasn't playable other than one small RPG mock demo which few people even knew was on the show floor, and all the game footage was streamed off of high-end PC emulators? I mean, if the media is just going to start awarding "best of e3" salutations to systems with nothing available to base them on than processor specs written on a piece of paper, they might as well call The Phantom the greatest system of all time.
And then there was Tommy Tallarico, whose opinions I usually find myself defending at the forums anyway. The guy basically slams Nintendo every chance he can get, and then acts all innocently on the boards. And if one, heaven forbid, Nintendo supporter questions him at the forums, he puts the blame square on them. Did you see the E3 G4TV.com episode where Tommy's sole presence on the show was talking about farting on Kirby's head when he goes over to the Nintendo booth?
