The MotionPlus controller, which should finally make the Wii-mote controllers much more precise, was shown off a couple of times in conjunction with Wii Sports Resort and an archery game. Nintendo seems to be content with further milking the various golden cash cows it has with the Wii and the DS, which isnвЂ™t necessarily a bad thing: the company sells bazillions of machines this way, and itвЂ™s the only company actually making a profit out of their hardware (as opposed to Sony and Microsoft losing money with every console sold). Another intriguing exclusive is Alan Wake, slated for release early 2010.

Then again, I never understood the appeal of smashing on plastic instruments while pretending to actually be able to make music, so I guess IвЂ™m not the right person to gauge the significance. Dead Rising will also see a sequel, and The Beatles: Rock Band will be an XBox 360 exclusive, leaving Playstation 3 owners out in the cold. The weirdly successful Crackdown, one of the earliest XBox 360 games, will finally get a sequel in Crackdown 2. Yesterday, while I was paying Left 4 Dead online over XBox Live, every player was abuzz about L4D2. ThereвЂ™s a gameplay video, and an official trailer.

The game will feature new survivors, a new setting (looks like New Orleans to me), and new special infected.

So, what about the stuff that really matters? You know, games? Well, Microsoft had some pretty serious surprises up its sleeves, the biggest of which is most certainly the announcement that the follow-up to the massively successful PC/XBox 360 exclusive Left 4 Dead, imaginatively called Left 4 Dead 2, will arrive November 17 for the PC and XBox 360.

Lastly, Microsoft will also introduce a game download service вЂ“ not just for small games or old XBox games, but for full 360 games as well. In addition, a full HD (1080p) video download/streaming service will also come to the device. Microsoft is clearly trying to put the XBox into the centre of your home, and will add support for Last.FM, Twitter, and Facebook to the 360. This wasnвЂ™t the only announcement coming out of Microsoft. The following video will give you a good idea of what Natal is capable of.

It also comes with voice recognition to really free you from your controller, and facial recognition so the XBox 360 will know whoвЂ™s playing. Natal allows for some very cool stuff in games, and the Dashboard itself will gain Minority Report-style controls: use your hands to flip between dashboard items, and move stuff around. It does away with the controller altogether, as your only input method is your body, which is a few steps beyond the Wii. As said, itвЂ™s called Natal and itвЂ™s a camera for your XBox 360 that keeps tracks of the movement of your body вЂ“ your entire body. However, while obviously inspired by NintendoвЂ™s insanely successful console, it does take the whole motion sensing thing a few steps further. The biggest news from Microsoft is the companyвЂ™s move towards a Wii-like controller system, Natal.

Microsoft probably had the most interesting news to give us, Nintendo suffers from a severe case of milking the cow (and who would blame them), and Sony repackaged the PSP, announced a few games, and gave the promise it would come with motion sensing technology at some point in the future too. The E3 is underway, and with OSNews having a renewed casual interest in gaming, I figured IвЂ™d summarise the news around the big three console players, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.
