As I mentioned in the beginning of the Microsoft conference story, these are my personal accounts from watching the press conferences. I did indeed report facts throughout the story, and we’re posting more stories pertaining to noteworthy announcements.

Buzz, Microsoft may not have shocked us with anything, but they showed an extremely solid lineup—look at all the games I mentioned in the Microsoft story. With the exception of Resident Evil 5, it’s ALL coming out between now and the end of the year. That’s why it was so much better than Nintendo’s.

I stated in the beginning of the Microsoft piece that these were merely an outline of my take on each of the respective press conferences. I actually was a big fan of the DS prior to it being announced (although I’ll admit, I didn’t think the second screen would be of much use). And I also thought Nintendogs was a cool concept, and nearly pre-ordered it myself. I had a good time playing Dogz on PC as a kid.
So, by your logic, Sony and Nintendo don’t need to have something to show us because they don’t have the largest install base? That argument is irrelevant; each of the three manufacturers should have a list of quality titles that will be made available for their respective platforms—whether or not they’re in the lead in terms of console sales.
And I’m not mocking Wii Fit. It’s probably going to be one of the best selling Wii games by early ‘08, and I can certainly see kids justifying the purchase of a Wii to their parents because of that game. And frankly, I don’t know where you see me mocking Wii Fit—I simply stated that it’s not the type of game hardcore gamers would expect to see Miyamoto announcing.
