So there you have it another E3 put under the microscope for your personal scrutiny. Looks like Sony have just came out on top again this year, congratulations to them.
Remember, some of these points may be debatable and I may have missed or overlooked something. Please let me know in the comments section if you feel I have misjudged something as I'm very open to the idea that I'm wrong, as you should be in science. Thanks for reading.
[TL;DR]
MS = 40
Sony = 48
Ninty = 44
The CEO of Rebel Wolves isn't worried about The Witcher comparisons and explains what makes The Blood of the Dawnwalker genuinely different.
New Horizons on Switch 2: faster load times, smoother frame rate, same charm. Six years of free updates built the most comprehensive Animal Crossing ever made. The island design tools remain the best creative sandbox on any Nintendo platform. If your island has been waiting, this is the version to return to.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a deeply funny and equally personal civilization simulator fueled by your creativity, but ridiculous sharing restrictions put a dark cloud over its otherwise delightful paradise.
The numbers say it's pretty close. Clearly no one ran away with it if you were just watching and not scoring.
Edit: Redacted - noticed that was for AAA titles only.
I don't know if you can really subtract 2 from Microsoft for Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
They are working on the game directly after all, which makes it essentially no different than the developers coming on.
How could they not bring them on?
Usher was only worth "one" negative point?
If you look at this, it seems pretty clear that Sony and Nintendo are letting the products speak for themselves, and MS needs paid endorsements. I suppose that's a cultural divide though.
