People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I didn't watch EA and Ubisoft's so mine is:

Sony > Microsoft >>> Nintendo

Microsoft: C-
EA: C
Ubisoft: C+
Sony: A-
Nintendo: D

I desperately wanted something new from Nintendo. But instead they worry me even more with more mini games, more Wii fit and more 3rd party characters on Smash Bros.

Sony == Nintendo > Microsoft

Nintendo showed the games I wanted.

Sony showed the console I wanted.

Microsoft showed nothing I wanted.

Sony 10/10
MS 7/10
Nintendo 0/10

Conference-wise (not console-wise):

Microsoft > Sony > Ubisoft > EA >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nintendo

I see why Nintendo avoided a traditional conference, they don't have anything.

Based on conference alone and not console politics.
Microsoft hands down nothing can beat Halo 5 60fps and dedicated servers.
Second would be Ubisoft dat Division.

That does not say im going to buy a xbone.

If im was going to take console politics into it.
Then sony No DRM(was not a issue for me privacy was more the issue), cheaper price point and i can life with multi psn+ only.

But nothing really jumped and said i need to get next gen consoles day one to me.
So im upgrading pc and wait for price drop on ps4 or when halo 5 drops and i like their multiplayer direction.

Sony - 9/10, an energetic effort with colourful indie games, warmth and personality, little in the way of brown generic shooters, and funny in places. Combined with a staunch pro-consumer message, its one of the best E3 shows in years.

Nintendo - 2/10, after watching two days of HD streams, Nintendo couldn't broadcast a pre-recorded clip correctly onto the internet causing devastating buffering. New Mario looks just like an old Mario, new Smash looks just like an old Smash, new Donkey Kong looks... well, you get the picture. It gives an impression that the company is taking the NSMB approach and replicating it across their product lines.
Wind Waker HD appears to be so lacking in any actual new content that "1080p" and "filters" are the selling points. The other games we've seen before. Little to no effort in terms of the software being displayed, or the presentation itself. Boring, and no Wii U for me for at least another year.

Microsoft - 1/10, generic shooters, planted audience cheers, scripted to the point of being stiff, very little in the way of eye-catching, and did nothing to address the massive concerns about their current anticonsumer antiprivacy policies. Whereas I think I want to own a PS4, and will eventually in a few years buy a Wii U, this conference made me actively not want to be in the same room as the XBox One. A disaster.

So are you rating MS' press conference or policies? Because their conference was actually very good compared to years past...

Because the actual conference sucked. Lengthy CG trailers, including of games already showed. Crummy stage demos. It just wasn't a good conference.

Wit the exception of the Wii, Nintendo has played it safe for the last 15 years.

edit: edited the Microsoft score, I was too harsh.
