Its a easy win for Xbox since they have more In-House games coming out for 2024

In house, moving into other houses. LOL!!!

 

[Robb]

If we’re just rating the shows, MS was way better imo. I’d give that an A, Nintendo was probably a C for me. So not even close.

 

[RoadHazard]

I'm not a MS fan, but easily MS.

 

[Team Andromeda]

That makes no sense. But please... keep it coming

 

[Sacred]

Metroid was great surprise, for some reason I thought that the Switch 2 was getting revealed today. Anyways, there was a few good remakes and the new Zelda looks ok.

That being said MS had one of the best shows in a decade and delivered games for everyone for the next 2 years and they have more they kept back. I also am just not a fan of the Nintendo presentations, easy win for MS.

 

[SHA]

360s magic is wanted, they deserve that chance.

 

[Codes 208]

Im surprised that Nintendo is trying to cook this hard with the next system so close. They kinda just let the gamecube, wii and wii u die with no major releases (outside of cross gen zelda titles)

Three major mario rpg’s in a year’s time is also nuts. So though i still believe xbox won this year, Nintendo didnt slouch around either

 

[acidagfc]

MS at least had SOME new exciting stuff.

All I saw at Ninty is a bunch of remasters, loads of mobile shovelware, new Zelda built from reused assets of the previous one (the gameboy game remake whatever it's name is) and a teaser for MP4 that is still at least a year away.

 

[Holammer]

MS presentation was competently put together and there was no annoying segments bringing down the pace. But they never stood a chance, Nintendo just needed to show one good first party title and it was Game Over for the competition.

Counterpoint: Almost everything in Nintendo's Direct was a new announcement. Some of the Microsoft stuff was shown at previous years showcases, some as far back as four years ago, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Avowed, I could go on.

 

[Draugoth]

Microsoft had more reveals

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I thought Nintendo did a good job catering to a very specific niche audience. What we saw wasn't very diverse. MS on the other hand seemingly tried to announce something for everyone.

 

[Stafford]

It's Xbox, and it's not even close.

I watched Nintendo and very few of this I want to play. Even the last one really looks disappointing to me. Whereas for the Xbox show I want to play almost all of those games.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Nintendo, they had exclusives you cant get anywhere else.

 

[Fake]

Nintendo because gameplay > the rest.

 

[IAmRei]

A bunch of ports, shovelware, a Zelda spin off and literally one high profile reveal? What fantasy world do you live in?

Imo, its better fantasy world.asian games are better nowadays rather than forced DEI and ugly characters.

 

[ahtlas7]

I’ve only seen 2 Nintendo trailers and they already beat Xbox.

 

[CobraAB]

Sure as fuck wasn't Sony.

Don't know what's happened to them this gen?

 

[rodrigolfp]

PC.

(PC excluded because I want to limit this to console only)

World of Warcraft: The War Within (update)

 

[DonF]

nintendo all the way, cant wait to play lots of their games.

 

[acm2000]

there isnt a single game on that nintendo list that i even have 1% interest in playing

 

[Thabass]

I say they were both great for different reasons.

This is mine.

I do think the strength of the announcements were on Microsoft's side, but in terms of volume of games coming out this year, it's Nintendo, so I'm in the both category.

 

[AJUMP23]

I really liked both for different reasons. But ya SONY sucked.

Nintendo had some fun looking games, Zelda looks enjoyable.

MS had COD on GP and lots of other stuff I want to play.

 

[Woopah]

Easily Microsoft. They are going all out while Nintendo holds back for Switch 2.

 

[March Climber]

If we’re just rating the shows, MS was way better imo. I’d give that an A, Nintendo was probably a C for me. So not even close.

We’re kind of on the same wavelength. I think Nintendo was a B- and MS an A. Good showing from both.

 

[Hudo]

Microsoft = Nintendo > diving with a self-built submarine to the Titanic > confusing the update of your smart TV with the updates of your Xbox > Sony > SGF

 

[MacReady13]

Easily Nintendo! Firstly, they have stuff coming up that we can play within 6 months to a year! Secondly, Metroid and Zelda. I mean, I’m not too certain how anyone could think Microsoft won but looking at the votes I’m easily outnumbered here. Nintendo killed it and I’m a very happy man! 1st time in a long while I’ve been excited for games coming out! Nintendo just showing that consoles will never die.

 

[NeverYouMind]

The system that is getting the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection.

Switch owners get unstable framerates with shitty online, PS5 owners get to enjoy a PS4 version, and PC owners get expensive ports of popular Fightcade games that have been available forever.

P.S. I would have preferred a Capcom Arcade Stadium 3 so I could get X-Men vs Street Fighter separately.

 

[lachesis]

I think MS won for gfx and overall, but for the games "I" want, Nintendo won for me.
DQ 1-3 HD-2D, Zelda, Ace Attorney Miles Edgeworth, Mario & Luigi Brothership, and possibly Last Defense Academy.

But Switch is really showing the age. Some of the cell-shaded games look so rough. I've been playing TOTK for past 11 months, yet not many look any better, and mostly worse.

Looking forward Switch 2, really.

 

[twilo99]

Having exclusive games makes them better by default when compared to "multiplats"

 

[RoboFu]

Nintendo and it's not even close. Games that are coming out this year and next. Creative gameplay.. awesome anticipated sequels plus Real gameplay.

 

[midnightAI]

Sure as fuck wasn't Sony.

Don't know what's happened to them this gen?

They haven't had their showcase yet

(That's why (I presume) Sony aren't mentioned in the thread title)

 

[Fake]

They haven't had their showcase yet

Wait a sec, State of Play is not Sony showcase?

lmao

 

[midnightAI]

Wait a sec, State of Play is not Sony showcase?

lmao

No? Did you think it was?

 

[Fake]

No? Did you think it was?

Was lmao. Now we are getting in the denial territory dude.

And Xbox owners?

 

[Bonfires Down]

Not totally fair since Microsoft is showing some games that are several years out and Nintendo rarely does. But the Xbox lineup blows Nintendo away.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

FromSoft

 

[NeverYouMind]

And Xbox owners?

They boot Developer mode and play the games on Retroarch for free.

 

[JaksGhost]

This is the main takeaway

For the best selling console of this gen, its like theyre trying to make it a dust collector (Astro bots looks fun at least i suppose)

You have to take in that PlayStation is getting a large portion of games shown at both shows while the others are left at times. Nintendo shows Marvel Vs Capcom Collection which is also coming to PS4, but not Xbox. Doom is coming to PS5, but not the Switch. Switch gets Lego Horizon Adventures and yet again look at Xbox being left out. They all received MLB 2024 from PlayStation. Xbox needs to start up their cadence first with their releases before I get excited for them. The only game they've published this year aside from the multi-platform ports has been Senua's Saga: Hellblade II.

 

[SaucyJack]

At face value Xbox had the slicker presentation ….




…. but if one scratches below the surface, Nintendo had more gameplay and their games are coming much sooner.

[MiguelItUp]

Microsoft for me. Got stoked for Donkey Kong until I realized it's just another remake. Zelda game seems neat, but I wasn't really feeling the Link's Awakening remake, so I don't know if I'll feel this one either really. Was never into Metroid Prime, but I'm stoked for those that have been waiting for 4 for forever. It's just not for me. Definitely more stuff that I was personally excited about from MS.

 

[Azelover]

I had said it would be Microsoft, after their event. But now I saw Nintendo's I'm gonna say Nintendo.

Because the Switch successor is coming up I assumed Nintendo would not have much to show, but I was wrong. MP4 just sealed the deal for me. It's exactly what I wanted. It looks even better than I was hoping.

 

[Little Mac]

MS. Nintendo did a good job but MS really swung for the fences this year. Nintendo could’ve teased Switch 2 and announce performance boosts for existing and today’s announced titles and it would pretty much stolen the show imo.

DKC Returns is stuck on two dead systems. The Director's Cut style remaster on Switch is something I'm all for.

Besides, it's not like the other two consoles haven't received their share of remasters.

 

[ProtoByte]

Sorry but what? 75% of that Nintendo showing was trash.

Not so much active trash as much as boring. Remasters, more remasters, and Metroid looking like a GameCube game.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Nintendope.

 

[Zannegan]

Nintendo has more games I want to play. MS had the better show though.

 

[Killer8]

You can't really compare them. Xbox is in full swing of its console generation and had almost 2 hours to do its annual big content dump. Nintendo's was a show that was half the length and for a system which by Nintendo's own admission is in its twilight year.
