E3, the Rob p.o.v.:
Microsoft deliver the a performance comparable to previous years by announcing nothing particularly notable. The Xbox now has an eyetoy and a shiny new case.
Sony show nintendo how motion controls are supposed to be done by making a device which can accurately detect it's orientation. They come late to the party with many players already jaded by Nintendo's half arsed implementation. On the plus side, the move api is very clean. Not that that matters to gamers, it just makes my life easier.
Nintendo announce a new zelda. Fans agree that the alpha looks pretty. They also announced a new DS system with enhanced processing power and motion sensors. These will be used to manipulate the projection matrices to correspond to the way the players are holding the device. That is, I think that's how it works. I'm only guessing from the videos. With that in mind, it's only a matter of time before we see the same sort of technique used on existing ipod hardware.
