An analyst company says Sony<\/strong><\/em>‘s platform took the victory this year.<\/p>\n ICO Partners<\/a><\/span> kept track of all E3<\/strong><\/em> articles, and their research came up with PlayStation<\/strong><\/em> at the top (16226 articles). Xbox<\/strong><\/em> finished second (15416), and Nintendo<\/strong><\/em> was lagging behind (10144). Interestingly, both Sony<\/strong><\/em> and Microsoft<\/strong><\/em> dropped back hard from last year, while the big N showed a minimal increase in articles (10144). No wonder there were less E3 articles this year (25900) than last year (27398) or the year before (28883), possibly because of a lack of hardware announcements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Games-wise, Fortnite<\/strong><\/em> pulled in the victory with 2500+ articles, although the Sony<\/strong><\/em>-debacle might have pulled this amount up a bit. It’s followed by Fallout 76<\/strong><\/em> and Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong><\/em>. We see a weak performance from the Sony<\/strong><\/em>-exclusives: The Last of Us Part II finished 12th, and Death Stranding claimed 15th place respectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The contest between the publishers went to Electronic Arts<\/strong><\/em> (6646 articles; top three games: Anthem – 2176, Battlefield V – 1849, FIFA 19 – 1362), followed by Bethesda (5379; Fallout 76 – 2385, Rage 2 – 1174, The Elder Scrolls VI – 982… and somehow, Starfield didn’t fit into the top 3), and Ubisoft (5242, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey – 1813, The Division 2 – 1709, Beyond Good & Evil 2 – 837).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s somewhat unexpected to see Sony<\/strong><\/em> \u201ewin\u201d because Microsoft<\/strong><\/em> – it’s not a shame to admit it – had an okay presentation this year, while Sony<\/strong><\/em> stuck to its word and focused on its four upcoming exclusives (Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man). The press fooled us!<\/p>\n
