I concur with what you have to say about the conferences. Considering where SONY are, they put up a good show bombarding us with games and good ones that too. My only gripe about their conference was that they used phrases like "coming out this _fiscal_ year" and "will release exclusive to the PS3" to skew the crowd into thinking the games would be hitting the shelves by this holiday and they would be exclusive to the PS3. Nintendo tried desperately to show that they still have the gamers in mind and the third party support, but for the most the message they sent was that they loved the success of Brain Age and want to focus in that market. Microsoft had the stuff, but sadly did not use it effectively to impress the audience. Yes, we get it that these games will be out by this holiday and the 360 is _the_ platform for maximizing your games choice, but we knew that already. I was frankly expecting more news like Resident Evil. Considering the position they are in, I thought it should be easier for them to break some of the exclusives *cough* FF13, MGS5 *cough*... 610884@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 Jul 2007 22:10:38 EDT
