Big Three Confirm Pre-E3 Events

In unsurprising news, Gamasutra reports that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all have pre-E3 events planned. From the article: "These conferences, which taken place during the two days preceding the three-day expo, have historically laid the groundwork for the entire week's events, revealing key information about the company's plans for the next year. 2005's press conferences revealed many initial details about the upcoming Revolution and PlayStation 3 consoles, as well as the Xbox 360 which launched later that year."

Unsurprising news indeed...

...to the point that I don't even see why we have a news story. What's next? "Nintendo thinks that fun games are useful". "Microsoft thought it would help to get a head start". "The Sky is blue, but only if you write your game that way".

To counter this non-news news, Nintendo fanobys (especially those eager for the Revolution) might want to check out AOL's sweepstakes page [aol.com]. A contest, starting today and ending on the 28th, gives one lucky winner a three day visit to CA, passes to E3, and to be the first commoner to play the actual Revolution.

Did I mention you'd play it in front of an audience of thousands? Unfortunatly, only one entry per person. :(

since we use bigatus of borg as the MS logo, isnt it time the sony logo was updated as well. Come on these people were installing rootkits on victims computers until very recently.

Nope. The big 3 are WWF, WCW, and ECW. Even if 2 of the 3 are now out of buisness and the other's had a name change.

I guess more than one industry can use a really generic term?!?!?! Amazing!!!!

And you need to get out of the 60s- Chrystler's a non-entity and Ford is facing bankruptcy. Any list of big car manufacturers with none of the Asian ones in it is a joke.

Re:What about Blizzard

[PhoenixOne]

I think Blizzard is going to continue to roll around in the great big piles-o-cash they are making off of WoW. Why spend years working on a single player or normal multi-player game, when you could put all your efforts into growing one of the biggest MMOGs of all time?

WoW has hit a mainstream market. Every Starbucks I enter has somebody playing WoW in it. NPR has had at least 3 reports on it in the last six months. Any non-MMOG that Blizzard does now will look small in comparison.
