E3 Expo has ended and from several sources on the internet, investors are not that excited about Nintendo's Wii U system that has not been unveiled yet. The only thigh that was unveiled at E3 Nintendo conference was the controller which is to be used with the new Wii U system to be brought to light in 2012.
Even after the conference ended, G4 TV's Adam Sessler was confused along with the other hosts watching the press conference live.
I can't say that I blame them. In a way now I know why Steve Jobs did not announce the new iPhone 5 or any details regarding the new phone. It would be weird if he would just show us a phone case and said, " look at how incredible this iPhone 5 cover looks , you guys can only imagine the possibilities that the new iPhone will have."
That is kind of dumb which is what Nintendo did during their press conference. We can't just go by what a controller looks like. Not even details or specs where given on the new Nintendo U coming next year. Making us just speculate on what it will be like. The bad news is that soon after the conference, several online articles where noted saying that the graphic demos used for Nintendo, where actual game demos of games being developed for PS3 and XBOX 360. Not only did Nintendo not show an actual Nintendo U system, but lied of what its games in production look like.
I myself, believe it was a mistake to show what their system was going to be capable of doing. Some quick demos that they showed during the conference still showed the same round miis used in the Wii, just at higher resolution.
This year their where no new major update of the current consoles shown or specs given. Only Sony brought forward the new PSVita which will definitely get some gamers attention with beautiful graphics, front and back touch abilities. In all Sony came up on top with their overall conference, Microsoft , then Nintendo last.

Sony, Apple and Microsoft in the Spotlight this month
Today in the tech world, I'm going to talk to you guys about three hot topics that is on several tech savvy minds this month.
These topics are not in any particular order:
1. Sony Welcome back package is on live on PlayStation Store
Sony gives us the welcome back package of free downloads and servers have been getting overwhelmed with all the download traffic hitting it. After all, there are only over a million subscribers that know about this free stuff.
In the Sony blog, you can find messages stating to try again if you receive a error message to download. I'm pretty sure many gamers expected this to happen, which includes me.
Even with those overload issues on their store network, we are glad that things are getting back the way it needs to be. What games do I download? If you are a hardcore gamer that loves all games, you probably bought or downloaded all the games they are offering for free.
This comes to a disappointment to many new PS3 owners because the free downloads only are being given to registered owners from May 20, 2011 and before. Hopefully you didn't buy a PS3 for that particular reason.
2. Apple Developers Conference 2011
Which will be held from June 6 - 10 in California. Apple has gain so much momentum with a large fan base which now look forward to see what the future holds. Every year in June, Apple gives us something new, they revolutionized the mobile world with their introduction of the original iphone and iOS mobile operating system. Gave thousands of developers the ability to make money from home. Last year they introduced a newly designed iPhone 4. It does not make sense for them to stand back and let Android OS beat them.
There have been many rumors and predictions on what will be next, but this time around apple has been really quiet and have kept their new technology away from prying eyes without any leaks to the internet other than a manufacturer that says they have actual iPhone 5 parts that suggest a larger screen. We can only wait and see if the next iPhone will really be called the iPhone 5 or just iPhone 4S. What are your thoughts on it? If interested many popular blogs will be giving direct feed from the event.
3. E3
This exposition in Los Angeles has become a main place for gaming companies to show what new hardware or software improvements will be of their current consoles and a place to show off new gaming titles.
Many are expecting the anticipated Wii 2 at the Nintendo conference. Nintendo has re-won the hearts of many gamers with the introduction of their motion sensing controllers, but excluded HD capabilities. Even with that missing, Nintendo pushed forward with millions of sales above the competition, lets see what they have in store for us this year.
Sony has sent out invitations to many with invitation to a 5 hour long conference to show off what they have. Lets just hope it's not 3 hours of saying I am sorry and actually show what is new and what we are to expect with the improvements with the PlayStation console and where it is headed. PS3 is suppose to have a 10 year life span, lets see if they keep milking it or go forward with a new console. Rumors have surfaced of the PS4 in development. Could E3 be a place for new hardware unveiling?
Microsoft has it's own conference too, and they too have been working on their next generation console. Let's see what they bring to the table this year.
It is an exciting month for many techies out there and are looking forward to see what new technology brings. With Intel's new 3D transistor, we are very likely to see more powerful and energy efficient systems. Nintendo introducing the Wii 2 will surely place them ahead of the game with better HD system, which should have a better graphics card and more memory than existing game consoles, but not necessarily the best. Will a new XBOX bring blu-ray to its systems. Will there be price drops on all systems. One thing for sure is that they all will be competing to be at the center of your living room as your entertainment station, with Wifi connectivity that will let you connect online and get the most of it. Let the game console domination wars continue.
