The Nintendo and Sony ones are excellent, but I'm a little confused at the last bit of the Microsoft one. A ton of people are buying Kinects, they're selling fairly well. How long ago was it that they surpassed the 10 million mark? The first two text bubbles work, but the last...not so much.

And the people who have bought Kinects wont be the ones watching E3.

It's not that it isn't selling, not even that it's not selling enough to meet Microsoft standards. It's just the way they handled their E3. Kinda like the video says "Kinect. Kinect. Kinect."

lol, I know, like I said, the first two text bubbles were excellent. Just the whole, "Why isn't anyone buying one" didn't really work much for me. I guess I was thinking to literal. RaccoonNinja makes a fair point.

I didn't even buy a Kinect. A just kiinda got one for free. No way I'd pay $150 for it xD.

Exactly - I'm glad that some people understand.

I'll be buying some Nintendo shares as soon as I can. People just don't seem to have an imagination these days... (I sound like an old man, lol...)

@SparktehFox

Thanks for the image. I thought it was quite funny, especially the middle Sony section.

The comic was okay. I think they should edit the third panel...Kinect sold very well due to their marketing.

I think the Simpsons one actually covers the Vita more than the Wii U.

I think for the Wii U one it would have been better if you Smithers said,"But its Nintendo."

(from 3DS) Okay... why does a "flame war" need to start over my opinion? I'm not trying to argue anything, just making a statement. I think all the Vita offers that's new is improved graphics and a second touch function. It's not like anything mind blowing was announced, aside from the prices, which shows Sony is falling away from their previous belief that people are willing to fork over any amount of cash for a certain experience. And while this may be profittably harmful to Sony, I think they could go back to what they were during the PSX.

That was the stupidest video I've ever watched. People can be so...annoying. And indeed. This has to be the most ungrateful generation of all time. We've gotten to the point where PS3/360-level graphics aren't good enough, and everyone's a graphics critic.

I think they are satisfied with it, but their blind fanboyism makes them think the graphics are worse the PS3 and 360, when they are actually PS3 and 360 graphics.

So I'm guessing this season's theme is boats? I think it's funny that each new year of games follows themes. At one point it was werewolves, then war, then space, etc.

I think the reason why they put the Microsoft one that way is because Microsoft were too focused on Kinect that it seems that they want to sell more Kinect. Hence, the comic were made that way (but this is just my deduction so it may be wrong).

Sure Microsoft was focused on Kinect but they are hardly desperate to sell them, as depicted in the comic, because they are selling quite well. Of course they want to sell more Kinect but they aren't having trouble selling them in the first place so the comic doesn't really make any sense.

You know we already talked about and came to a conclusion over the whole Kinect thing on the first page. Besides, It's not like the author is here so we're not gonna gain much from chastising them. It's just supposed to be funny, and if that's not your cup o' tea then just watch the video and don't laugh at the comic.

ALRIGHT!!! Screw attack released a "Best and Worst" of E3 2011 and I believe this does justice to gamers! So, here's the link for the video!

Also, you should include a swearing warning just in case.

That is pretty accurate except for the Microsoft part. Im guessing the comic was trying to say that the Microsoft press conference had to much emphasis on Kinect.

your right. I think the name is what Miyamoto was referring to when he said its like a modern name NES. You know how the SNES and the WiiU carried on part of the name from its predecessor.
