RE5 is not coming this fall though.
Now I would like to answer "who will not come on top?" question.
Nevermind...
I meant with RE5 on top like cherry on top or icing on the cake, meaning fantastic lineup this year plus RE5 to look forward to next year running great on a 360 already
But thats wrong. Gran Turismo 3 and GT4 sold more than Halo
I think Microsoft is consciously holding back for X07, partly because they are in what they feel is a comfortable position, and then it pays to play it conservatively, wait for Sony's E3 keynote, and then create a measured response for X07. Sony is a big opponent and you can't fight them on all fronts at once, so what better than wait to see what they've got, and then see where you can fight back most effectively on the short term.
I'm assuming that Sony has less reason to do so. They don't need to really fight Microsoft, so much as convince their existing fanbase that the PS3 is what they've come to expect after the PS1 and PS2. They sort of can consider themselves their biggest opponents, and only look at Microsoft and Nintendo for inspiration how to beat that opponent. I know that sounds weird, but that's the best way to do it. Nintendo does it too, in a sense. And Microsoft was when they introduced Live, but maybe less so right now.
Nintendo is definitely the public's favorite, and they may have an easier time to shine. Nobody now expects more than great gameplay innovations from them, and that's all they've had to focus on. So I'm sure they'll be able to deliver some cool stuff that the fans will love, and create a few new fans too. I'm sure some of the new fans will cost them some of the old, but the question is how many? Probably not too many, really.
Consumers are definitely winning. I'm 100% sure that there are plenty of consumers who are getting exactly what they want from at least one of the three major parties here. And 2007 as well as 2008 look like great years for gaming!

You seem to not understand the thread.
The thread is about who will come out on top as far as making the biggest impact or splash at E3. Not who is going to harvest the most money.
Looks like I was pretty close with my prediction. I still expect to see more of Drake as it should be on the shelves this year and should be quite impressive.
Oh well. That's rather impossible to predict, since we don't know all about what the 3rd parties have been developing.
Agreed. Sony definitely #1, Microsoft and Nintendo probably a close tie. Microsoft really did have a lot of games, but no surprises, whereas Nintendo didn't have that many games, but I did like the wii-feet or whatever the new device is called that measures your centre of gravity. Because of its potential (which I'm not expecting to be fullfilled anytime soon), and because Mario Galaxy looked a little better than I expected (didn't expect that much), and because I found myself liking Zelda DS, I think they are tied for #2. (But probably a lot of people will rank Nintendo #3)
I didn't watch the Nintendo one.
But from MS and Sony, they accomplished different things. MS basically came out and said "it's about games and we have them." You'd be VERY hard pressed to challenge their line up for the rest of 2007. Also consider their 60fps advantage in all EA sports games and exclusive GTA4 episodes.
Sony did what they had to do. Try to get people to buy their console and more importantly get them to hold off from getting a 360 this holiday season with a lot of promises for 2008. Their lineup for 2007 isn't as great as MS' so they focused on long term just as much this year.
In the end, owning both consoles is the best way to enjoy this generation. I'm quite excited about finally having a some PS3 games to play. Ofcourse this is on top of the 8 360 games I'll have purchased by the end of 2007. Good times!

Seems like a pretty boring E3 so far. MS shows off more of the same games we've heard of and seen many times. Nintendo and Sony's surprises were hardly a surprise since they've been rumored for so long that I believed them anyway. We know about Halo 3, GTA, and MGS already! How about something unexpected? NOT Wii fit!!!!
I'm surprised someone who appreciates good graphics would find a negative thing to say about what was apparently shown of GT5 Prologue there
Laa-Yosh is an artist, and most of the artists I know hate the "boring realism" visual genre with a passion.
