We'll find out how well it works over the next few days as journalists get their mits on the playable demos.

I'm with you. Did you see the trouble the guy was having getting even the most basic of aiming tasks right? The guy playing Zelda was the same.

Even the tennis game looked awful, with the players onscreen reacting to any movement of the controller with a full swing, rather than tracking movements accurately as we'd been promised.

Warioware looked shit hot but nearly everything else in the showcase was awful

Yeah and getting stuck on corners, and taking ages to turn round.. Looked like some tired fps on rails with less fun.

I laughed soo hard at the tennis.. I mean.. why dont you just change the wii controllers for rackets, add 1 ball and play real tennis ?

The DS is far less powerful than the PSP, and it's beyond a doubt the better handheld...so Wii pushing fewer polygons doesn't really bother me.

Can somebody do a quick recap on why Nintendo have "won" E3 or whatever?

I know about the Wii controller etc but I'm only getting bits and pieces here and there about the games. A list will do. Cheers.

Try the official site while you're gagging.

They've not 'won'. They're just being Nintendo. If you're not normally moved by them this will be no different.

They will emerge victorious, though.
