Look at the chart end date. It's literally the day of the Treehouse event. Nintendo didn't anything before the 14th and was trending upwards based solely on hype. It's a bit odd this didn't extend throughout the duration of E3. The trend lines being cut off arbitrarily are just odd, especially since they ignore talk from show floor demos
But yeah in terms of conferences I can see how Sony's won over MS's

Oh yeah. That's actually looking awesome at the moment. Spiderman from Insomniac is bound to be a success. Wasn't it rumored that Sucker Punch were working on it originally along with an Infamous 1 remaster? Or did that prove to be fake?

Obvious. The conference/console that showed the most games, existing and new IP, multiplats and exclusives, had people talking the most. Take a poll on GAF, the results would concur.

Sony needs to start a conference coordination division and sell their services to the other presenters in the future. That's two years in a row they unquestionably had the better show.

I chalk it up to them having the best presentation (the orchestra was an inspired decision) and (arguably) the best games lineup.
Im still shocked that Sony fanboys arent raging about Crash.. there was so much hype before E3. People believed Naughty Dog was gona make a new Crash game.
What they get is some remasters probably made by some poor activision studeio and Skylanders content.. and everyone seems ok with that lol.
Just bizarre..

buddy i don't think that has anything to do with video games
Yeah, it's pretty obvious that the consensus is that Sony's conference was not only the best, but generated the most buzz.
It's because of their presentation. It's one thing to have content, it's another to know how to present it.
When people list the games shown, what's amazing is that that was literally the layout of the show. There was no bullshit, and it was games. Games, games, games. That's what we come to E3 for. Microsoft had talking, are you fucking kidding me with that Minecraft segment, for example? Now, MS wasn't as bad as some of their terrible conferences in the past, but in light of Sony's show, it pales.
"I'm tired of talking, show us games." - this is how a lot of people feel and Sony captured that.

Most people don't care about Crash. Probably why it's just a remaster and not an actual new title. Maybe if sales for it indicate people care then Sony will consider a new entry.
That's a bad comparison. With politics you're introducing the needed step of voting. With E3 conference comparisons, it's all about buzz and opinions.
Considering Facebook is the largest social network, it is the best metric for looking at this.

I caught bits and pieces of the Microsoft conference and it seemed like your typical E3 press conference, stark contrast to what Sony did this year. Very little talking, live orchestra, very artful, minimalist stage design, reel after reel of upcoming and unannounced titles.
Don't care who "won" because I was more interested in Sony's offerings to begin with. However, its very clear that these two companies have very different approaches to attaining the very same goal.
Competition is good.

Probably because most of the "Crash hype" was people clearly taking the piss.

Wait this chart is seriously tracking Facebook "volume" up to June 14th? As in, it ends the tracking before Nintendo's presentation even happened? Well then of course Twitter has different results, that was tracking including the day of June 14th!
Sony likely "won" with most people because they presented a very nice variety of games which for sure resonate with a lot of people, but I think that chart would look a bit different for Nintendo if you include the actual DAY OF THE ZELDA PRESENTATION.

Also to those of you who were claiming E3 would be disappointing well before E3 started, do you still feel that way? This E3 was better than last year's IMO, and last year's E3 was arguably the best ever.

lol what? Dude Sony has released more games in the first half of the year and will release more games in the second half of the year as well over Xbox. This is a nonsensical narrative. Is the straws people are seriously grasping at? It's not even close that Sony had by far the best E3.

Sony fanboys...o boy, I guess Facebook was right in using the word war. The thread has 18 pages with no info and nothing to show for it besides a announcement.
Sony showed tons of PlayStation exclusive games non-stop, several surprises, where a good amount of them was of very high quality, some absurdly so. The conference format was devoid of marketing speak (and pretty much any speech) which sent a strong message. Probably the most focused and condensed E3 presentation of all time.
Microsoft talked visions and promised a machine that's up to date with its release period 17 months from now (unlike XB1 which was severely underpowered fall-2013). Their games not very impressive and overshadowed by the competition.

I'm annoyed tbh. It's annoying that Activision has this franchise. IMO Sony made a dumb decision here. I would have done to them what Marvel is doing with Xmen, let that franchise have 0 hype and then buy at some point when Activision raises their hands and admits it has no value. Sony will just raise its value and they will take it back again to ruin it like they did last time. Awful.

Yeah, the arbitrary cut-off is an inherent bias, IMO. Zelda's stats on Twitter dwarfed everything else, I can't imagine the same thing didn't happen on Facebook.
