From MS and Sony, I was hoping for at least something that wasn't Kinect or Move. The Vita wasn't bad, to be fair, but it really just looks like PSP2: Touch Screen to Win edition. No need for finesse or accuracy or timing, just tap wherever you want Drake to go and he will. That said, what the ModNation Racers guys are doing is impressive and top shelf; as Pike said when we were watching it, someone needs to make a Theme Park/RCT game using that method of drawing tracks.
As for Nintendo, well, I wasn't expecting much, but after the first two failed so miserably to excite me, it was all down to them. And when Iwata and Reggie said they'd heard what the long-time Nintendo fans had been saying, and that they had failed to yet make a console which appealed to everyone, my hopes raised.
And then they showed an iPad. Let's be clear, some of the stuff the Weeoo can do looks pretty nifty, and there is certainly potential for games like Pokemon Snap and Fatal Frame, but it's really not what I was looking for in a console.
