E3: biggest surprise was from Nintendo E-mail

So, the battle this year between Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft is the same as always: centring around new games, be they massive shooters or just casual titles, new online capabilities and new online multiplayer gaming experiences, and for Sony and Microsoft, new online video content to enjoy.

Nintendo is relying on tweaking its still unique full motion control system to offer much better accuracy and is clearly hoping that Wii Sports Resort will be as big a hit as the Wii Console bundled with Wii Sports was in the first place.

It’s sad to see that Sony and Microsoft still haven’t brought out their own motion control systems, but now that Nintendo has released the most accurate version yet, anything Sony and Microsoft do must match the new bar that Nintendo has set.

There’s still the chance that any of the three companies will come out with more announcements over the next six months in the lead-up to Christmas – why play all your cards just because it’s E3?

So... if you’re a gamer, we’re still firmly in the golden age of gaming. If you’ve got the time to play games, the scene has never been better, with even better experiences still yet to come in the weeks, months and years ahead.
