No? Look to the right—-> Yeah, there you go. If you tuned into the Microsoft E3 2007 Press Conference, horrible memories of a robotic-sounding PR-bot who claims to be Reggie Bush’s personal friend are probably flooding through your cerrabellum faster than Nintendo lost the harcore gamer.

I don't think they really care. They're at E3 because they have to be, but does it matter? Personally, I don't think anything they showed off (any of the groups) couldn't have been done better utilizing some hype, and exclusive videos on the Web in HD like on gametrailers or something. On top of which, it's really a boring year because we don't have any super secret hype about a next-generation console design since they all just released last year or so. So, were they pathetic? Yeah, a bit. But they WHERE NOT pathetic when it counted...last year. Look at their sales now! This years E3 won't impact Wii sales in the least. My theory? I don’t think they really care.
