The dust has barely settled but we're already hesitant to know: Who will the Destructoid Community choose as their favorite presenter at this year's E3?
Someone is definitely going to sell more units than the other guy and we're curious to know who's new products caught your eye, which products made you vomit, and at which point you fell asleep head-first on your keyboard. Cast your vote in the poll above and hit the comments to sound off: Who's most likely to claim your future holiday spending money?

At first i'd have called MS and Sony about equal but i think the FFXIII thing pushed MS into the lead.
Also, while i don't think Nintendo's conference was bad, it was in dire need of some franchise announcements and atleast a new zelda teaser trailer.
Still, it wasn't a terrible E3. I think last years was much more disappointing.
Still, this all kind of sucked. It was almost.....anticlimactic.
Nintendo, it's like they dont want me to buy there system. I mean GTA for ds is one thing I didnt see coming, but I can't bring myself to finsh IV.
Nintendo let me down.
Sony spent more time on multimedia than on games. Surprise surprise.
MS wasn't awesome, but their keynote and the resulting hilarity definitely makes them the winner.
Microsoft: FFXIII was a fricken bombshell that washed away bad thoughts of avatars, NXE, and "You're in the Movies." Really good in some places, really bad in others.
Sony: Trailers of games we mostly knew of, little gameplay shown, but the stuff was decent and they didn't through casual shit at us. It was so-so all around.
Nintendo: Disappointment because I still don't know what Reggie's "huge hardcore" title is supposed to be. Animal Crossing? Just because you put one of those games on the Gamecube does not make it hardcore, Nintendo.
Sony just was bla bla mee godofwariii bla bla multimedia blah blah imissomething? bla blah
Nintendo... I Have to Say Something?
This is how I see it. Sony showed off more games that are coming out that catch my attention then MS. MS has FF now, whoopdie... Thats not a breaker for me in the least bit. Sony has more games coming out of interest then MS has at all at this point.
I thought I actually saw tumbleweeds during that segment. Really embarassing.
Microsoft just showed a bunch of trailers for games we already knew about. Their press conference was entirely about stealing FFXIII from Sony and the Netflix announcement.
Nintendo at the very least had the most new, unannounced stuff to show off. Unfortunately most of it wasn't very good. I think the 1:1 motion control from the addon is going to be a big deal down the line though.
Sony was just kind of average. They get points for having the best chart presentation and getting me even more excited about LBP, but overall it was just more trailers of games we already know about and desperately trying to convince people that they still have a lot of exclusive games.
Like others have said, no one really "won", at least from a gamer's perspective. However, it's pretty clear that in terms of playing the media, Nintendo is going to come out on top here. Everything they announced today is going to get gobbled up by mainstream news sources, and that's what's going to be reported on constantly for the next two weeks. It's becoming clearer that E3 isn't about gamers anymore (although maybe it never was), it's about the press. Now that gaming is becoming more mainstream, it's important for the companies to target more mainstream news outlets. Ninty did that successfully, the other companies did not (Although MS's Netflix announcement will likely make a splash).
In terms of what I'm most excited about, it's probably got to be Little Big Planet, Spore, Left 4 Dead, and Animal Crossing. I'm really intrigued by the Wii Sports demo as well, not for the game itself but for the motion control. If it's actually as precise as it appeared to be in the demo, that's going to be huge for the Wii.
In summary: Nintendo wins big with the mainstream media, MS probably interested the core gamers the most, but overall all three were pretty meh.
ok not really but I made this thread 1% less cliche!
Kidtendo was 2nd
Borestation was 3rd
and gamers everywhere lost!
Still waiting for the Halo announcement. Does Bungie steal everyones thunder? Go Bungie!
Didn't we?
ONE game taken off of exclusivity on ONE console = Microsoft Win?
Wow, were even you watching that embarrassing section with the webcam and clown pants on Microsoft's conference that caused deadly silence or Duffy being told she can't sing her own song properly on 'Lips'?
Also. Sony had the best marketing talkthrough and interactive bar chart, ever.
And one handed pushups.
But yeah, Microsoft getting FFXIII was a megaton, for sure.
And plus everybody is shitting bricks about FF13, the 360 version is going to be a lesser quality port of the PS3 version. Anyone with common sense is going to buy the PS3 version of FF13, its the system the game has been built for.
other - we all lost. E3 is a shadow of what it used to be.
that said, MS edged out Sony with their FFXIII shocker and their quality 360 lineup (Gears 2, all the RPGs, etc). if only Sony would have announced/showed off one or two more PS3 titles, they would have won, because i'm way more excited for the PSN than i am for where XBL is headed (fuck avatars).
and Nintendo. LOL. snubbed their hardcore fans once again.
I'm a PS3 owner so I couldn't give a flying fuck about what the 360 is trying to sell me. I'm broke enough as it is, for a start.
As for the FFXIII thing. Who the fuck cares? Last I heard Final Fantasy was wank.
Do you have shares in Sony or Microsoft? If so, ignore this post.
If you don't then wake up and smell the coffee. Just concentrate on actually beating people on games rather than believeing you can rest easier knowing that some silly cunt with a 360 won't be able to sit there and enjoy the mild delights of turn-based ass action/rest easier knowing that some stupid pleb with a PS3 won't be able to get it up tonight because the 360 has taken all that is good from their souls and made it dirty.
