Nintendo and Sony don't fare much better than Microsoft.

Nintendo, despite having new hardware to show off with the WiiU managed to disappoint with a distinct lack of details and games for their new console. They couldn't even confirm a price or date. The games they did show were underwhelming at best. There was no Zelda, no Starfox, and instead it's getting Mass Effect 2. Yeah, that's right, 2. A game that came out years ago and has since spawned a trilogy ending sequel.

Sony fared a bit better as they did at least have some games to show with Beyond, God of War Ascension and The Last of Us. Unfortunately a lot of the good work was undone by a poorly conceived and overlong demo of Wonderbook. It's an AR story book using the Eyetoy which has distinct similarities with Eyepet but alot more potential. I like the concept but 25 minutes Sony? Really?

With all this considered the publishing house Ubisoft easily had the strongest showings at E3. They showed more of Assassins Creed 3, including an impressive high seas battle at the Sony conference. Far Cry 3 is looking terrific as well, but, most importantly, they unveiled Watch Dogs which looks indescribably great.
