EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich has told Eurogamer what we all pretty much know; Nintendo won E3 hands down. It wasn’t just Divinch who was impressed by Nintendo’s offerings, but also outspoken analyst Micheal Pachter who genuinely backed up Jesse Divinchs claim. Did Nintendo win E3 for you, or were you more impressed by Sony’s and Microsoft’s offerings?
“Nintendo won, hands down,” EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich told Eurogamer. “They had great content and a well-executed presentation. No celebrities, no famous rock bands, just straight gaming.”
“Nintendo won with a very cool console innovation and great 3DS software,” Michael Pachter, Wedbush Morgan analyst, told us.
“People are still skeptical about core Kinect,” Pachter went on, “and with good reason. I had them in third place from a hardcore perspective, first from a business perspective.”
Which leaves Sony “in the middle”. “PSN apology was great,” said Pachter. “Vita price also great.” But otherwise “nothing to get excited about”.
Piers Harding-Rolls, analyst at Screen Digest told Eurogamer that “they all had their strengths”.
Harding-Rolls elaborated: “Nintendo showed its strong ability to innovate and to take home entertainment into new directions; Sony showed its openness to adopting new business models and online games services and delivered on PS Vita pricing; Microsoft delivered a leading mass market content and non-games media message which positions it strongly for this stage of the Xbox 360 cycle.”
