E3: Stabilization

The Nintendo 3DS and the countless marquee games announced at E3 show that Nintendo has no plans on stopping its brilliant strategy of wedding exotic hardware innovation with the comfort of established first-party franchises. We will be happily playing (and paying) for Ocarina of Time in 2010, just as I imagine we will in 2020.

Meanwhile Sony and Microsoft are left competing over [throwing money at] who can provide the more exclusive downloadable content for cross-platform games. Good luck with that long-term strategy.
