It's true.  All three days of E3 belonged to the Wii.  Everytime the doors opened at 9 [even for us Early Media Access peeps] it was a stampede.  People would sprint for that booth while Sony reps were taking pictures offering us free PS3 laniards that no one wanted.

Playing the Wii was oodles as fun, even if to just swing the bat in Wii Sports: Baseball whereas playing Warhawk felt like I was being raped with a toothpick.  It was just not very fun.

Sonic Wii is GREAT!

Nintendo won this generation. They are back on top of the industry, dominating both the handheld and console markets. I'd bet my life on it. .... Ok that was going a bit too far, but I'd say right now Nintendo is looking like the most likely candidate.
Currently Playing: Twilight Princess(Wii), Castlevania: PoR(DS), Mario vs. Donkey Kong2(DS), Wii sports(Wii)
Anticipating: Mario Galaxy(Wii), Blue Dragon(360), Dragon Quest:Swords(Wii), Dragon Quest IX (DS)

Miyamoto and Steven Spielberg played Tennis on Wii at E3.  Spielberg had trouble taking his eyes off the game, even though he was already shaking hands with Miyamoto while his picture was being taken.






Nintendo won the generayshun.

Thats a cool picture.

So there were real movie stars in the booth? In the interview with Kaplan she said George Clooney was there, but I thought she was joking.

I think it's awesome how Miyamoto's reaction to Spielberg is like our reactions would be to Miyamoto.
