E3 2009 poll results
Earlier this week I ran a poll asking you the readers who you thought would have the best showing at this year’s E3 Expo. The results are in and I must say I’m a little surprised. It was a land side. Here are the results:
Nintendo came in last with 0 votes. No votes whatsoever. Although Nintendo didn’t have any “blockbuster” announcements this year, they did show off more of Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus which look like they will be a huge sellers. And they did profile Wii MotionPlus pretty dominantly throughout their press conference. Showing how they have improved motion controlling and hopefully creating a better overall Wii experience. But is it too late? Is the honeymoon over?
Second was Sony with 22% of the votes. Demos of Uncharted 2, God of War III and the highly anticipated MAG weren’t enough to boost Sony into first. Or anywhere near it for that matter. Maybe some of you were disappointed that Sony didn’t announce any price cuts for the Playstation 3 (I know I was).
And finally we have the big dog. Microsoft. Which grabbed 78% of your votes making it your number one choise by far. With big announcements like the integration of Twitter and Facebook onto Xbox Live, preveiws of Forza Motorsport 3, the announcement for Left 4 Dead 2, and of course the showcasing of one of E3′s biggest stories Project Natal it’s easy to see why so many of you sided with Microsoft.
Overall the real winners are us, the gamers. We have some real treats to look forward to in the coming months. Games and breakthroughs that will make this year one of the best years for gamers. Sounds good to me.
What were some of your favorite announcements/moments coming for E3 this year?
