Great E3 overview. Maybe a tad biased though, not a Sony fan Wiz?

I thought Home was a fairly big thing, a free Second-life-type-MMO with direct developer tie-ins and free casual games is new ground for a console, perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but I think it's worth more than a cursory glance. The new PSP slim release for Australia is also Today (Thursday). Most of the other articles I've read about this years E3 said Sony has the best show, Nintendo the worst and MS being so-so.

You're spot on with the Windows stuff, big let down there from everything I've seen/heard. Not sure about the value of all the stats used in the MS and Nintendo articles though.

I also didn't think Nintendo's offerings were that great, Wii fit and the Nintendo's target audience aren't that compelling for a serious gamer like me. The DS section felt a little vacant too. Zapper seems dang nifty though.

Despite my argumentative comments, Overall it was a fantastic read, if anything I'd have liked to see more about the exclusive games for each platform but that'd make for a monster of an article. Love your work Wiz. Now, who do I have to sleep with, or kill, to get to next years E3?
