In theory wouldn't it still count if people said they sucked or disappointed?
It is mentions right?
Or is it only positive?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Even bad mentions are mentions.

Yep. It always happens during a new console reveal as well. Not that big of a story.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Mario + Rabbids over Mario Odyssey! Did not see that coming.

 

[jbug617]

Here is the breakdown. They did count the negatives with Forza revealing a car and the esports commentary.

 

[LKSmash]

I am DEFINITELY out of the loop, I don't even remember seeing Assassin's Creed and I watched most of the MS and all of the Sony conferences.

It was on the MS stage so either you zoned out or turned it off at that point.

Here is the breakdown. They did count the negatives with Forza revealing a car and the esports commentary.

Look at Terry killing it lol

 

[Chobel]

The King is Back

 

[cireza]

Namco Bandai and ASW must be very happy with DBZ reception. Game looks simply amazing.

 

[Plinko]

One thing that jumps out at me:

Look at how many PSVR games are at the bottom of the list. That is not good.

 

[Kayhan]

Games:

The color coding on this chart is awful. WTF.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Crazy how Minecraft is still so popular 83 years after its release.

 

[Arklite]

Evil Within is way higher than expected, great show. The undead corpse of Skyrim still shambling along in limelight.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

It was a fun conference to watch. The production value was high and they showed a ton of games. Problem with having so many games is that I don't remember most of them. Like I forgot that they showed Anthem at the MS conference.

Did anyone honestly think otherwise?

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Looking at that list it was a pretty weak e3. Last ones put the bar to high. =(

 

[True Fire]

Who in god's name is still talking about Fallout 4? And more than god of 2ar at that.

Bethesda keeps rehashing their games for a reason.

 

[Christocolus]

Great job MS. The Xbx1X looks amazing. Anthem was my game of the show. Good to see Metroid Prime, FM7, Ashen, SOT and Spiderman up there too also the announcement of Minecraft crossplay and OG XBX BC announcement was pretty cool.

 

[Stevey]

The salt in this thread

 

[LurkerPrime]

Man, Square-Enix is really going to regret Life is Strange: Before the Storm. No Ashly Burch, and it's increasingly clear that people are going to confuse it for Life is Strange 2 for months or years, if not forever.

Or else Life is Strange: Before the Storm didn't chart? Maybe?

 

[jelly]

What was the positive/negative split...

I watched a bit of the AC footage and got really bored. Maybe the interest was really high with people wanting to see if Ubisoft had done anything worthwhile.

 

[Plinko]

Did anyone honestly think otherwise?

Well, Sony, apparently considering they spent so much time at the conference on them.

 

[Hindl]

Gross. Not for me I guess, but anecdotally none of my friends have even brought up asscreed yet so it surprised me that it was so high on that list let alone first by a long shot.

That's probably just because you and your friends have specific tastes that don't align with it either. My friend group is the same way so I get it. But consider this. In April 2014, before the launch of Unity and Rogue, sales for the series were at 73 million. In 2016, they hit 100 million. So that means between Unity, Syndicate, and Rogue, they sold 27 million copies (not counting people buying previous games in the series during this time, but that's probably small enough to disregard). And Rogue was a direct-to-video last gen game that got no fanfare, and Syndicate was undoubtedly damaged by the utter disaster that was Unity. And those games came out only 1 year apart. Yet it still sold 27 million between the three of them

 

[Myriadis]

A little bit surprised about it because I liked it but didn't see it as special but it appears that it has big mainstream appeal.
It's great to see BG&E in the Top 10.

 

[Hero]

Was all of it good? Most people I saw were astonished at the price...

Honestly I thought Monster Hunter World would be higher. Even Kirby managed to be higher.

Not surprised AssCreed and Metroid is are the top 2.

Looking good for Capcom already.

 

[SgtCobra]

Wait you are saying that the brand that announced a brand new console is the most talked about brand? Say what?

Impossible.

 

[meirl]

deserved.

 

[disappeared]

Skyrim is never going to fucking die lol

 

[SmokedMeat]

What an odd list. Pretty meaningless if you ask me.

 

[jmdajr]

Great to see DBZ that high.

Even Sea of Thieves is doing ok.

 

[wesleyshark]

Crazy how Minecraft is still so popular 83 years after its release.

When humanity is gone from this earth, Skyrim and Minecraft will still be getting yearly refreshes

 

[Sword Of Doom]

One thing that jumps out at me:

Challenge of VR is how do you demonstrate the games? Cause outside of VR they just look whatever unless you actually try them with a headset

 

[jroc74]

I expected Spider Man to be high.

 

[muteki]

Sonic Mania

Wasn't shown in a conference IIRC?

 

[Shredderi]

Here is the breakdown. They did count the negatives with Forza revealing a car and the esports commentary.

I'm pleased how up Metro:exodus is. I'm also pleased how much talk there is for Metroid Prime 4. I want Metroid to come back in a big way. I don't own a nintendo console but I love the franchise and Prime 4 could really pull me over.

 

[Plinko]

Kirby above Monster Hunter World is amazing.

 

[HighResTomato]

Microsoft PR should be recruiting on GAF so many potential spin masters.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I wish Monster Hunter XX had been shown, only so we could have seen how it vs World performed, social media wise

 

[AR15mex]

What I found quite impressive is how the hell did Metroid Prime 4 made it to second place with no footage at all!!!???

 

[LFMartins86]

DBZ getting more attention than Marvel. Ouch.

So many people on GAF claiming that MvsC will outsell Injustice 2 because of MCU's popularity when it will probably sell less than DBZ.

 

[Wiped89]

No Gran Turismo Sport, but we have Tacoma and Steeo?

Something is fishy about this list.

 

[wesleyshark]

Well, Sony, apparently considering they spent so much time at the conference on them.

Seemed like most of their conference was a PSVR trailer

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Lots of people talking about their console, nobody talking about their games. D:

 

[alexbull_uk]

I'd hope so, they just revealed their new console.

 

[Duffman]

fucking skyrim in the top 10 lol

 

[wesleyshark]

fucking skyrim in the top 10 lol

That's the one dragon you can't slay

 

[OuterLimits]

Apparently people on social media had a similar excitement level for the Sony conference as those in attendance.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Congrats.

It's quite the contrast though looking at this:

[Prompto]

I expected Spider Man to be high.

Game is going to be huge. Also apparently was the most viewed E3 trailer on YouTube.

 

[Hindl]

I wish Monster Hunter XX had been shown, only so we could have seen how it vs World performed, social media wise

Probably not great, MH XX was already announced for Switch, plus even if it wasn't it would be just a 3DS port. MH World is a newly announced game finally shifting to HD consoles, which fans have been begging for forever. Not really comparable

What I found quite impressive is how the hell did Metroid Prime 4 made it to second place with no footage at all!!!???

Metroid fans assumed their series was not only not getting a new game, but was forever dead. That teaser was more than enough to spark hope

 

[Fliesen]

Well, sure, the conversation was much about Microsoft, but that isn't automatically a good thing.

There's likely plenty of tweets à la "$499? That thing is D.O.A. #MicrosoftE3"

But i agree with the overall sentiment of the Sony conference not being particularly 'exciting'. Spiderman looked great, but nothing i would tweet about. Unlike Nintendo's lineup.

 

[Monty Mole]

Looking at that, why the hell didn't Nintendo do MP4 sooner? Did MP3 really sell that badly?
