Welcome to another thread where I, DieGrootHammer, presents an aspect of the gaming world through the lens of statistics and data. I know right, I am indeed a super boring individual, but hey, to each their own.
In this episode, we look at E3, specifically the 6 major conference shows presented by the biggest players in the gaming world. We will take a look at the number of games presented by each of EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo. We take a look at the number of games presented and showcased by each, and we look at the release windows they are presented. It does make for some fascinating reading I promise.
Firstly, the stats:
As you can see, this year Microsoft came out swinging for the fences. Not only did they unveil their newest and strongest console, they also showcased the most games during their E3 presentation. A whopping 22 games were shown in more detail, and not's even counting the ID@Xbox montage of games shown. EA, Bethesda and Nintendo showed the least amount of games during their respective E3 presentations, with 7 games showcased each.
We also look at the release windows of all the games shown. As you can see, both Microsoft and Sony have a large amount of games shown that doesn't have a release date. On top of that, only about 30% of all games shown during Sony's conference are 2017 games, all the others are games we'll get either next year or later. EA here had the best showing, with only one game shown that aren't scheduled for a 2017 launch. Nintendo showed the lowest amount of games to be released this year, rather expected.
Overall, I feel very unimpressed with this year's E3 showing. Microsoft focused way too much on quantity and forgot to show any quality games, Sony is showing all the games we'll not be playing this year, and EA is pretty much just sports and Star Wars. From all the shows, I think Ubisoft did the best this year.
So, what you think of all these numbers and stuff?
