Chi: I don't think Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft really out shined one another. With publishers putting out different games exclusively or similarly for each platform, it was hard to declare anyone an outright leader. If anything, the games themselves took center stage this year instead of the hardware.

James: My only complaint is Nintendo's booth. This year, like last year, their surrounding wall suffocated and crowded their booth.  I've heard enough showgoers complain about it, so why don't they take a shot at being a little more open next time?
