Top E3 Announcements

E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) has concluded and we have analyzed the most discussed announcements from the show.  Microsoft’s motion-tracking Project Natal unsurprisingly took the top spot followed with the PSP Go.  Metal Gear Solid, the most discussed game, came in third.  Some other notable mentions are Gran Turismo 5 versus Forza 3, for which GT5 generated the most chatter.  Also, Scribblenauts is quite far down the list, but today the game as been generating a strong upsurge in mentions and we expect this one to get a bit more attention over the next few days.

Wednesday we posted a sentiment comparison between Project Natal and the PS3 motion-tracking controller you can see here.

The full top listing is in the chart after the jump, displayed by the percentage of E3 discussions mentioning that announcement.  The Top 10 is in the image below:

Edit: This post was edited as it was noted we excluded several announcements, so we’ve added all we could find and generated a new chart.

Why isn’t Brütal Legend anywhere on this list? That was easily one of the top ten games of the show.

There are lots of games that got at least as much coverage as something like Afrika. For example, 40k: Space Marine or WET got lots of talk. Seems like your “tool” isn’t so comprehensive.

Just a couple of the countless mistakes / omissions that I noticed skimming through this list..

ModNation - missing, PS3 exclusive announced at Sony keynote
Joy Ride - missing, XBLA exclusive announced at MS keynote
Brutal Legend - missing
Heavy Rain - nowhere to be seen at the keynote or show
Warhammer = Warhammer 40k Spacemarine
Modern Warfare = Modern Warfare 2
Wii Fit 2 = Wii Sports Resort
LBP 2 - LOL WTF this is the funniest one. What e3 were they covering!?? This algorithm is total BS.

.. and before you say its because those games didn’t get coverage, just google them and see for yourself.

Zelda - oh how I wish this one actually existed
FF 14 - …

Seriously guys if you’re going to post a list like this for others to draw conclusions from do a minimum of fact checking first please.

[...] BuzzStudy са едни добри хора, които анализират блогове, новинарски сайтове, twitter акаунти, форум постове и т.н. и накрая вадят една хубава статистика за “обявлението” събрало “най-много точки” Предполагам няма да има много изненадани, когато съобщя, че на първо място стой Project Natal… Тадаааа, браво на Microsoft.
