Microsoft's press conference was a mixed bag (the crappy-Disney collection is all they could get ? Really ? Atlantis ?!) & Nintendo - well, lets just say, the only time I was awake when watching the press conference was when they demoed Wii Fit. I know the Wii isn't a graphical powerhouse but I loved the visual style of Mario Galaxy. So when they showed Mario Kart Wii, all I kept thinking was -"Why are developers so lazy with the visuals ?" Yes, casual games are what the Wii is renowned for but the "hard core games" they showed off just left me thinking that the PS2 still has a lot more to offer for gamers out there.

I also think the dearth of new announcements has something to do with what's happening next 2-3 months. Come August is the euro-centric Leipzig Games Convention, September is Tokyo Games show & after that, Microsoft has it's X07 event. I'm sure we'll hear announcements to games we were actually expecting to know about at this E3.]]>Jul 18th 2007 3:59AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/which-video-game-console-will-rule-this-year/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/which-video-game-console-will-rule-this-year/Jul 21st 2007 11:00PM
