Microsoft Press Conference:
1. New interface for XBL that looks really dumb
2. A bunch of new arcade games like a new Galaga, new Portal, some other stuff.
3. Xbox Live Primetime - some sort of scheduled gameshow thing that sounds pretty dumb
4. Xbox Live Party - groups of up to 8 people can share videos, pictures whatever. Sort of like PS3's Home, but without the stupid Second Life stuff
5. Netflix partnering with Microsoft so those with a Netflix subscription can just download movies instead of getting them through the mail. This is super cool. Also super cool, you can share those movies you downloaded with people in your Live Party.
6. Bunch of games being released that we already knew about (Resident Evil 5, Gears of War 2, Rock Band 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, other stuff)
7. Final Fantasy XIII is now multi-platform and is coming to the 360, rendering the PS3 worthless to me.
Also, Nintendo announced the Wii Motion Plus, an accessory that will make motion controls have an actual 1:1 ratio. I personally would guess it to be included in the rumored Punch-Out!! Wii. Mixed with the Wii Fit Board for defensive motions, it would be a perfect boxing game. More on that tomorrow.
