Nintendo, pretty much hands down. The only way they could have really demolished would be by announcing a new Mother title...

I really don't get why everyone is all over Nintendo's... eh... Wii's?
Seriously who didn't cringe when even Miyamoto had trouble with the so-called "1 to 1" controls on Zelda? Giant Bomb's reaction was best, I was watching and going "oh no, no this is terrible, this is the WORST possible thing to happen!"
Of course I'm biased. Neither 3D nor super-duper-eye-strain-o-vision portable gaming systems excite me, so the 3DS announcement was largely overlooked by me. Overall, I'd say Sony won with Microsoft in close second. Kinect looks cool, I bought Rock Band for $150 bucks for the party game aspect alone, with Kinect I get an undeniably cool way to traverse the menus and a great party-game item. And with ESPN coming to XBox, it has further cemented itself as the media hub of the house, not even when college football starts up do I have a reason to turn the dang thing off!
Sony I think pulled ahead, Valve finally having support, Kevin Butler's awesome spot, and the Twisted Metal announcement, whether you like the games or not, was such a cool thing to see.

That was a bit painful, yeah. I mean, really, even if the reason was that there were wireless devices in the audience (which don't really believe, but whatever) that just made Miyamoto and Nintendo look foolish, as if they came to the ball and they had ketchup and mustard stains on their tux.williagr said:
This and the fact that Link now has what look kind of like parachute pants are what make me not-quite-so-excited for the new zelda...that and those graphics looked like utter shit. It's like they took all the complaints about Twilight Princess being too brown and thought they all said "these graphics look too good". So now they decided to just cel shade OoT. I think the G4 people actually mentioned how bad the details looked. Still, it's Zelda, and it's always been fun for me in the past (though I don't know how many more "grab-objects-from-far-away" tools I can take).
I think Nintendo won in a lot of people's eyes because they really are appealing to their fan by bringing back a ton of their most popular franchises. Zelda, Other M, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus...man, Kid Icarus. I've seen so many old school Nintendo diehards ***** and moan about that franchise alone and how much they wanted another installment.
As for everyone talking about sequels...Nintendo is the master of sequels, because Nintendo has managed to crack the code of how long to wait before introducing a sequel. Yeah, other companies do a very similar thing, just constantly releasing the same games with bigger numbers on the end, but they don't put enough time between games for anticipation to build properly. Nintendo waits patiently, letting the fans wonder when the next installment is coming out before they begin their dark work of bleeding stones. That's why Nintendo "won" this time, and that's why they'll probably "win" every other 2 or 3 E3's. They know how to wait and strike when the iron is desperate.
I've never been all that big a fan of Zelda to be quite honest. Samus, Mario, and Donkey Kong yes I love those series, but on Zelda im kinda Meh

Nintendo. I've never cared for the new Nintendo stuff, but their press conference REALLY impressed me (especially compared to the Microsoft and Sony ones).
Kirby's Epic Yarn (just unique) and Epic Micky (choice and consequence, liek an arrpeegee) both look great.
