    In fear of sounding like a fanboy, I have to say that I enjoy playing both consoles and love games from each as well. With that aside, I can’t help but feel excited every time I see an article with the word “Microsoft” or “Xbox” in it. However, I agree with Robert on this one. Kinect isn’t showing any promising titles aside from some pre-rendered games at the previous E3′s…

    With that aside, I still keep my high hopes for both platforms at E3 2011!! Wii… meh…
