How in the world could either of them win E3 ?????

MS already said 10 playable games at E3, just 10.

Nintendo\'s GC will probably have 5 or so, and GBA isn\'t going to win E3 so to speak.


SOny will have some 50 or so titles all playable and Sega will too, and that will attract the most attention

XBox, and GC will do better in 2002 E3 when they have a years worth of software.

its obvious Sony will win E3
its more of a question of which or rather
Who will win between nintendo and microsoft

probablty should find a more reliable source don\'t you think.

well do me a favor down load the latest gameplay vids from IGN and Daily Radar and then talk to me.

The screens show jaggies, but a game runing at 60FPS with interlacing horizontal lines will capture an odd or even line draw and give off a jagged look


I\'msure thee will be jaggies in ZOE, but packed full is BS

go watch the gameplay videos on the web

Every game has some jaggies.

yeah, sega should have won..
or did they?

I don\'t understand how Sony or Sega could win this years E3. They lost last year because they showed a bunch of crap compared to Sega\'s AAA titles. The majority of reviewers and industry types are going to check out Gamecube and X-Box. It is almost a given that this years E3 will belong to either Nintendo or Microsoft. Unless Sony pulls a ton of AAA games out of their @$$ the will not win. It will just be a repeat of last years performance.

BTW, I smell and EXCELLENT debate brewing. Lets keep it going and try to keep the flaming to a minimum.

I seriously doubt Xbox\'s 10 titles or GC\'s 5 or so titles will win E3. Sure they\'ll make some serious noise but in the end it will be the quanity of quality titles and different genre\'s represented that will give SOny a strong edge


Its about games, and SOny has easily the most games ready and anxiouosly to show off.

Also how in the world could you even think SOny will repeat last year E3, where most of the games wee\'re still very incomplete.

If anything look at SOny\'s showing at ETCS this year and then multiply that by 2 or 3 to get the idea of what SOny has to show off

Sorry AlteredBeast I have some sad news. I too want a Shining Force 4. But they Company the developed the first 3(Camelot) are now in Nintendo\'s corner. Which means either no SF4 or SF4 with a new developer, which could either be good or bad.

I think you actually may be underestimating Nintendo. I\'m not expecting them to have a huge blow out, but I think they can do better than 5 games.

Nintendo of Japan alone is rumored to be working on 5 - 7 games And I guess I should do a brief explanation of NOJ (really NCL, but people call it NOJ) for those that don\'t follow the company. NCL\'s development groups are made mainly of:

EAD - the most important group, since it\'s the largest (a few hundred people) and is headed by Miyamoto. They create the Zelda and REAL Mario games (not Mario Party and some of the other side games) among others. Basically they\'re the only group in the world that could hold back the GC launch if they need more time (just like with the N64), since Nintendo always launches with EAD titles (sometimes more, but never less).

HAL - creates most of the console Pokemon games, Kirby, Earthbound (which was cancelled after 5 years of development on the N64, so it will probably show up on the GC) , and Smash Brothers. The fact that Smash Brother 2 wasn\'t announced for N64 (after selling HUGE numbers) suggests a GC version in the works.

Intelligent Systems - hasn\'t produced many console games since the SNES (Paper Mario is their only N64 game), they\'re mostly busy with GBA development.

Anyway, on top of those, Nintendo has lots of other groups.

NST - Nintendo of America\'s group is supposedly working on 2 games (Wave Race and an unknown)

Retro - said to have 5 in the works (Metroid, an RPG with online elements, an action game, and a couple of sports games)

Silicon Knights - Too Human , which was redirected from the PSX after Nintendo bought into the company, and possibly Eternal Darkness. The game was scheduled to be released last October on N64, but now Nintendo says it doesn\'t have a confirmed platform (strange to say the least, since IGN said the game was near complete in the summer, now it suddenly vanished)

Rare - I don\'t expect much from them, but Dino Planet is in the same boat as Eternal Darkness (scheduled for the N64 last year, now it disappeared) and IGN says Perfect Dark 2 is in the works from them.

Left Field - Most likely working on sports games (they made the Kobe Bryant games on N64), though they\'ve been pretty quiet (accept for saying Excitebike 64 was their last N64 game, and they will have something for GC at E3).

Factor 5 - working on a Star Wars game and a shooter called Thornado.

Ther there are also other groups in Japan (NDCube, Mobile 21, Marigul, Brownie Brown, Manegi), but I haven\'t hear anything about what they might be working on.


I haven\'t even gotten to the 3rd parties. I don\'t know how many Nintendo has signed up, but at least a couple said they are working on GC games (at least RE:0 from Capcom).

Will we see all of the games in the works at E3? Probably not. But the point is that Nitendo probably has more going on than you give them credit for. Again, expecting them to outnumber Sony would probably be an overestimate, but expecting just 5 seems like an underestimate.

ddaryl, I am in no way saying that Sony will not have a TON of excellent titles on display. It is just a matter of human nature. People like new stuff. We are more likely to flock around the new 2002 Porche and Lamborghini(sp?) than wait in line to see the Ferrari\'s new engine design. Now the counter argument to this could be that Sony was new last year and Sega still won. Sony was not as prepared as they should have been. They turned away a ton of games for E3 at the last minute because they didn\'t want to put crappy games on display. So Sega in essence won by default.

Nintendo only plans to have about 5 games for Japanese release of GC, and  E3 is soon after that so will see.

Demo\'s are allright, but how many games will be playable.
