Just in case you didn't see what they have to offer at E3... go to http://www.ign.com and check it out. They have plenty of info and videos that are free. I am most excited about the Nintendo Wii, so's that's what I pick! Although I'm thinking the graphical horsepower of MGS4 on PS3 is going to be incredible! I mean, look at Heavenly Sword (I think that's the name). |

I'm getting the Wii. First off, I can afford it. Second, SSBB. Thirdly, old school Nintendo Games. Fourth, there is no fourth. |

Wii, but that doesn't mean I don't love sony. The Wii is cheep cheap cheep, and I am just a Nintendo fanboy. I have the previous 3 consoles on my shelf like a museum.There is no SSBB type game that I am like "ZOMG I have to buy that" on the PS3 like there is on the Wii. |

The Wii. SSBB! The others are to me mostly just small upgrades of previous systems. The Playstation 3 is also way overpriced. |

Meh, I'm stickin' with my 'puter, I never really had a great liking for consoles(I hardly ever play with the ones I currently have). I have no need to buy another. |

Wii. Because I'm a nintendo fangirl  .
Well, that's the first reason, but the others are: 1. Price, because I can't go above $200 for a concole. 2. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 3. Super Mario Galaxy 4. SSBB 5. Compatable with Gamecube software. I already have 22 games. 6. Virtual Console. No more needs to be said. 7. I only buy Nintendo products

Wii, but I'd prefer to get the PS3, (Killzone 2 and Warhawk with tilt control anybody?) Only if I had 600 clams! |

Acually, how can the Xbox 360 be considered a next-gen console when it's already out? I think this poll should be changed to: "What company held the best E3?" |

I think this poll should be changed to: "What company held the best E3?" Really, none of them should be considered "next-gen" anymore. They're the current generation. We are currently in the "seventh generation" of console gaming, which includes those 3, plus the PSP and DS. |

Picky Picky Picky! 360 is already out but the rest aren't... therefore perhaps we are in-between generations! lol. Making a Transistion? |

The Wii, for sure. I still have my old PS2, so I might bust out a few of those games from time to time. I might even buy a 64... |

Have fun paying $600+. The Wii/Nintendo easily dominated E3. So many good games, so many new features and whatnot. Nintendo has been testing my loyalty the past couple of months, and it finally delivered. |

Defenitely the Revolution. I've always been a fan of Nintendo, especially the Mario series. I can't wait for Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB. |

Not quite. The visitors don't get to play in the Superbowl. 
Though I would pay EXORBITANT amounts of cash to see that, believe you me! |

No E3 is the World Series of Nerds. The Tokyo game show is the superbowl. Why you ask? I have no clue. My local Funco Land is taking pre-orders for the Wii now. I made my pre-order 20 minutes ago. But on the topic on who did best, The PS2 has ,what seems to be, the most anticipated titles: God of War II, Guitar Hero 2, Final Fantasy XII. The PS2 will still reign supreme for another year. |

(wii) Twilight Princess will be released in two versions on both the Gamecube and the Wii on the same day. I accually really don't want to go to E3 that badly, because the hardware and software will be coming eventually. I see no need to play 10 minute demos. Though I do wish I could have played Metroid Prime 3: Corruption there. |

I am going to totally amaze you all by saying... Nintendo! 
I'm sorry, Sony, but you went at it the wrong way, and Billy G., the only buzz I heard from your people is Halo 3, which was to be expected. Nintendo wins. |

What is so great about realistic Raceing games? I mean, so what. You hold down the (whatever) button and turn left and right, occasionaly using brakes to drift. Yawn. That's the thing about realisitc raceing games...as far as I know, they're is no way to make them exciteing. |

Gee, I think racing games are pretty fun! it's not necessarily about the realism, it's about whipping around as fast as you can! I don't suppose you can really explain the appeal to someone who doesn't care for them, but all I know is, Diddy Kong Racing is one of my favorite games ever, and I'm so totally buying the port of it once it comes out. (It still has PIPSY! W00t!) |

I mean, I don't think I will every be able to get behind the wheel of a Nissan Skyline GT-R, a BMW M5 or a Mercedes SLR McLaren. I will never be able to race the 24 Hours of LeMans, but I can do all that in this game. Plus there is also the thrill of competition. Going door-to-door with a guy for the win is as exciting as it gets.
What is so great about realistic Racing games? |

Don't forget Mario Kart DS. In my own opinion, it is the best Mario Kart game out there. But I will agree that graphics don't make a racing game better. |
