Who Is Winning E3?

Ah, E3 is here again. After a day chock full of new titles, #girlwood and too many surprises to count, the question on everyone's mind is, who is winning E3?

Microsoft started strong out of the gate, showing gameplay footage of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. We then saw Battlefield 4, Forza Motorsport 5, and what looks like an entirely new take on the franchise in Dead Rising 3. Titanfall, Respawn's brand-new multiplayer FPS, wasn't short on fast and furious action either. But let's not forget that epic Halo trailer either. Preorders for the $499 Xbox One are now available. You can check out the replay of the entire Microsoft E3 2013 Press Conference below:

Sony just wrapped up their show, but we did learn that PS4 supports used games, and doesn't require an online connection. We even found out that the system will be priced at 399 at launch, (PS4 preorders are also now available) a huge move in their efforts to gain more ground on Microsoft. Speaking of their war with Microsoft, Sony took the gloves off big time when they also posted a very cheeky video about how to share games with the PS4 on their YouTube channel. In short, it was pretty much the definition of shots fired.

We learned quite a lot from the Nintendo Directs as well. Wii U owners were in for a treat when Nintendo announced 14 games headed to Wii U and 3DS from third party publishers. Super Smash Bros. fulfilled the hopes of many longtime fans, and the inclusion of Mega Man sweetened the deal. But will Nintendo draw the attention away from both Sony and Microsoft after just revealing their next-gen consoles?

So who's winning E3 so far? Did Xbox blow you away with it's reveals of Metal Gear Solid V and Quantum Break? Did Sony wow you with its pricing and DRM related announcements? Or will Nintendo shock the world tomorrow morning with something to blow them both away? Let us know who's winning in the poll below!
