There have been endless topics started about E3. I have read some of them, and though many were well written (Thinking of Meka and er-no here) I couldn`t help but wonder if any of it was true. Stories vary wildly everywhere. PS2 supporters saying that PS2 won the show, one or two people saying X-box did, and a fair few saying that GC did.
The GC had the advantage of a new console to show, and some new titles. X-box tried that too, but made a less big impression. In all this, it was forgotten who was really showing the true power.
I actually got fed up of reading about E3, as it was clear nobody had "won". Anyway, I saw an interesting article in the IGN newsletter, and decided to give it a read. After finishing it, I was left thinking that it must have been in the PS2 section, as there was clearly a large amount of respect for it. However, I looked left, and saw the large green/black colour stripes of the X-box, and realised I was in the X-box news area.
Take a look here at one of the most honest reports I`ve ever read. This writer had the guts to criticise his own favoured console, (the x-box) not just the other.

"Verbal Fencing"?!?!?! Wookiee, have you been drinking? If not, start. Now.
That comment of yours was the most bizarre thing i've seen since Terry Henry missed the seco-, no, third of his goal line chances in the FA cup final.
:-P

I'd better read it now.
SilentNoise claims to be.
Your Honour.
That was a great article, glad someones got the balls to come out with that stuff.

Have you read the review of E3 at the link ssxpro posted below?
We all know that it was only because it was a new console but the Gamecube was clearly the main attraction of the show.
The PS2 did have a few interesting things to offer but even if Sony had given the most solid performance possible, the surprises the Gamecube brought forward would still have overshadowed it.
