Little Big Planet and Sly Cooper (Sony owned the IP before the POD)… just to clarify, is Sony Computer Entertainment an exclusive 3rd party supporter of the Atari Sabertooth, or are they mercenary? Or did you decide to make Sony Computer Entertainment explode? I think I saw some flip-flopping on Sony Computer Entertainment’s fate before this.
A New Legacy: Nintendo acquires Midway timeline
Sony Computer Entertainment is working with the PSP Vita but works exclusively with the Budget console that a new company wants to make (haven’t named them yet). Sony also sold the license to LBP, Sly Cooper And Ratchet and Clank once the competition bought the Third Party companies.

Reminder that sucker punch at that point was a third party,the same media molecule ( otl Sony outbid Nintendo for little big planet) so if Sony gets out seems both companies recovered their licenses
AWESOME!
OH HELL NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Exactly!If this is supposed to be the "budget console" for this generation, its offerings prove otherwise.
First off, Tamagotchi built into the system. That's really cool!
Second, they own Minecraft and Skyrim. Basically, they're stacked with those two alone if I know gaming history.
Third, I see that Bandai-Namco is mighty fruitful for Google Atari, what with all the revealed titles from them here. Could they be acquired by them, perhaps?
Fourth, I'd look into their past gaming library to see what could be brought back. And here are some Atari games that Nintendo now owns, oddly enough.

A Duo of Growing Pains Part 4
For the second half of the second day of E3 Microsoft was up to bat.
Phil Harrison took the stage: "Many have asked us, 'Microsoft what do gamers really want?' Well, I will tell you. Always Online DRM. Our data has shown that online games are played at a higher rate than single player games. Gamers also buy new games more than ever before so used games will be a thing of the past.
Here are the titles to look forward to the XBox One”:
"Our console will launch for $399.99 and each XBox One controller retails for $50. XBox One will come preinstalled with World of Warcraft and Hearthstone with one years online subscription to XBox Live. Pay an additional $20 for another year once the free year runs out. All new games retail for $60."
"We at Microsoft believe you will love the games at launch and will look forward to what is to come."
And with that Microsoft's E3 was over.
Next Time: We learn what the new company holds and what they bring to the table as the 'Budget Console'.

Okay...............
The whole "Always Online DRM" crap's still gonna get hated and killed off right?
And I can't wait to see this new company!
Always online DRM will die off, but having it will cost Microsoft a guaranteed first place had they not done it.
Always Online DRM will die off, but Microsoft won’t get as much market share . Always Online DRM Online cost them a guaranteed first place of consoles sold this generation.
On the bright side, at least we get more cartoony games ITTL from Microsoft.
-Banjo-Threeie
-Conker's Other Bad Fur Day
-Psychonauts HD
-Crash and Spyro Trilogies
-Jet Force Gemini HD
-Skylanders
-Pirates Dream (Could this be Project Dream become reality?)
I'd say that's a good library for the family market.

Nintendo and Midway’s influence has been a net positive for Microsoft game wise. Microsoft and other companies feel they need to compete by making both mature games and cartoony ones.
Exactly you need to spread for all markets, especially as cartoony doesn't mean childish ( unlike what teens feel at themselves)

It was the last day of 2011 E3 and the last company was ready to present.
The spokes person reaches into his pocket and pulls out a console and controller.

"This is the iGame. It comes with 32 GB of storage for digital games and retails for $99. The controller costs $30 and each game costs $40.
"These are our partners and developers for the console:"
"We believe what matters are games that are accessible price wise to the consumer. Not everyone can fork out hundreds of dollars for consoles and we hope our console delivers on that aspect."
And with that E3 was over.
Butterfly Effect: Sony Computer Entertainment is a third party developer and is working with Apple to deliver their newest console the 'iGame'.
Next Time: We learn about the rest of the titles that Nintendo is developing and how each game works.
