I guess it looks pretty bad if you remove all the other stuff they showed for no particular reason

Nintendo vs. Xbox - Who had the best E3 2021 conference?
- Thread starter SilverX
- Start date
BotW2 looks absolutely amazing as expected... and that was it. Xbox showed much more stuff including Halo's glorious return to form.
I liked Nintendo's ever so slightly more because their games are more appealing for me and they at least had gameplay for every announcement ( CGI and non gameplay teasers doesn't do jackshit for me, and that includes Prime 4).
I swing back and forth a lot between that and just giving it to Xbox, because the gamepass propositions are just THAT good.

I don't know how you can say this in good conscious when Metroid Dread has the producer of Other M on the team
/s
Metroid looked neat but not 60$ neat. Zelda obviously looked great but I'll play hundreds of hours of the games at the Xbox conference vs maybe 50 of Zelda so its not close for me.
Microsoft gave me the most value (bc I have game pass) but Nintendo decided to act like it was 2002 (not a bad thing, gamecube/gba nintendo too stronk) with their announcements; showing off Warioware, Mario Party, Zelda, Metroid, Advance Wars. So it's a even tie for me.
Xbox showed 4 first party exclusives coming out this year: Halo, Forza, Flight Sim and AoE IV.
I don't understand why so many people bring up starfield as a positive for Xbox. We know nothing else about the game except for a date. If they showed game play like forza I'd understand, even a story trailer would be nice but all we got was a short teaser.
I liked Microsoft+Bethesda's presentation, i liked that a lot of games are coming to Game Pass day 1, but the games were mostly shooters and a whole bunch of the games scheduled for 2022. Nintendo had all kinds of genres, games like Advance Wars, Life is Strange, WarioWare that i've been expecting for a long time, plus two bombshells as BOTW2 and Metroid Dread, and almost all of these games are going to be released this year. And we still might get another Direct later this year, so i liked Nintendo's presentation a lot more. But i liked both.
You mean like "Coming out on PC" and "literally on Steam (not released yet but it will be on the same day)" and therefore not Xbox exclusives?
If they're on or coming to PC, they're not exclusive.
People are still making this argument, console exclusive is still an exclusive.
I mean I'm certainly not gonna be able to play most of those games on switch.
All Microcountries beneath my notice.
MS showed more games coming this year than Nintendo though.
Sounds like both conferences pleased their respective fans. The poll being close is correct in that case. They both win.
Why don't you post this as a response to anyone who's actually being hostile to Nintendo fans, and not my comment? What does anything in the comment you're responding to have to do with Nintendo fans?
Will you be able to play Forza Horizon 5 on the Nintendo Switch or PS5?
I mean you would think so after having released pretty much nothing so far this year. Hell Halo was supposed to drop last year, Flight Sim is already out on PC and AoE IV isnt on Xbox.
Not saying MS didnt have a good show or you cant be excited for what was shown...but i think people really exaggerate the amount of stuff MS is gonna release this year.
I think Xbox had the better conference overall, but Smash DLC, BotW sequel, new Wario Ware and new Mario Party (which should've been an update for Super Mario Party) all still got me pretty damn excited. BotW is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm a massive Zelda fan so I'm super excited for the sequel, but Halo is also one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time and the footage shown had me buzzing out of excitement, so I personally give the edge to Xbox.
But...it wasn't even half shooters or maybe not even a quarter.
I will be more than capable of playing it on PC. Not that i'd want to but the option is there.
Will you be able to play Metroid Dread or Advance Wars 1+ 2 Reboot on the Xbox Series S/X or PS5?
What an asinine argument.
You're typing this on a phone, tablet or PC, check the clock.
Man, this is straight up trolling at this point. Because every single Xbox first party game is coming to PC/Steam and you know it.
This must be the first time ever I've seen xbox "winning" a poll against nintendo, that narrative has truly changed
Not that I don't agree

The Xbox console has no exclusives, you are correct.
Ok so you admit you're openly trolling, got it. Pack it in, guys and gals, literally impossible for MS to show off games and 'win' because they have PC ports.
I'll enjoy playing their games on PC, for the record.
As I have for years.
I feel a direct comparison (pardon the pun) misses the point a little, because despite being E3 shows those publishers had different aims. Nintendo showed most (but not all) of what's coming in the next six months, and a couple of things for next year. Microsoft showed their hand for this year, some of their hand for next, and some of their hand for who knows when. Given their different focus, both publishers will show different amounts and types of things. Nintendo will probably announce another 2 or 3 first-party titles and a bunch of other stuff in September, while this was Microsoft's big blow out for the year, in all probability.
I find it difficult to compare them. Nintendo had more stuff that immediately interests me, even if I still think they're off the standards they were setting in 2017 and 2019 - at the very least, this year's variety of franchises and genres is better, and the number of releases is higher. Plus, third-party support is good (Monster Hunter Rise & Stories 2, Ys IX, No More Heroes 3, Life is Strange, Axiom Verge 2 are a good compliment to the first-party stuff).
There's no doubt though that Microsoft's offering with Game Pass is becoming stronger and stronger. I used to game on Xbox and dropped off, but I'm giving serious thought to rejoining.

I mean, they aren't coming out on PS4 or the Switch. You'll need an Xbox or a PC, which will likely be running Windows, to play it. Either way, you're in Xbox's ecosystem.
I can understand avoiding a genre. I personally almost never play fighting games but I know, from what people tell me, that the gameplay is totally unique between the different games. Comparing Halo and Stalker is like comparing Yakuza and Zelda since they're both third-person open-world adventure games with light RPG elements lol.
What's the positive of a game being exclusive to one platform? Having a PC port is always good for me since I probably won't keep a specific console for more than 10 years but I'll always have a PC of some sort so that means I can always have access to those games.
Yes, emulation is a thing but it's never as convenient.
When an era poll is this close that means that objectively speaking it truly wasn't even close
