First -- Nintendo's Press site makes no mention of The Last Story or Xenoblade. Not good, we need those games... Namco doesn't mention Tales of Graces either, but they already seem to have decided to pass on that one for absolutely no reason. Idiots.
Sony's conference was... generic Sony, I guess. Not bad, not good. Slickly produced, too long, and often boring. That PSP ad campaign thing is stupid, but all their ads are stupid so that one's nothing different.
Oh, as for the PSP, pretty lame lineup there, if you can even call it that... they've obviously got nothing to compete with the 3DS. I think Nintendo wrapped up the handheld market for the next several years. The PSP has been behind for a long time, and has been struggling to sell software outside of Japan for about as long, but the extremely impressive 3DS announcement really blows it away... and Sony really had nothing here to respond to it with.
On the PS3 front they were more successful, but I did notice that Sony had had very few exclusives outside of the first-party lineup in the presentation. Lots of multi-platform titles in the show, while Nintendo and Microsoft focused on exclusives. Also, as always Sony's show was overly long, at two hours long versus 1 and a half for MS and 1:15 for Nintendo. PS3 Twisted Metal was cool, for fans of that series (I've never really liked it), Little Big Planet looked great, and Sorcery looked fantastic (I want to play that game... :)), but other than that they didn't have much. I guess Killzone 3 looked good, for an FPS, but there are a few of those this gen... and no hardware other than Move.
Portal 2? It'll be amazing I'm sure, on the PC...
As for Move, pricing... hmm. $50 for the remote, $30 for the other part (what would be the Wii Nunchuck). Plus you also need a PlayStation Eye camera too, so add whatever that costs. There is a bundle, but it's $100 for the camera, a remote (NOT including a Nunchuck), and one game, the lame sports collection. A bit pricey overall, but less than the rumored Natal pricing... though you need a controller for each player, unlike Natal, of course. Wii controller pricing is high enough, but the other companies are charging even more. Expected... but at least Sony's is in parts, so people don't need to spend it all at once.
Microsoft showed it, did you really need to see it twice? I mean, some games were showed twice, like Dead Space 2 at both EA and Sony and that fitness game at both Microsoft and Ubisoft, but how much of that is really needed...
