Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011, commonly known as E3 2011, was the 15th Electronic Entertainment Expo held. E3 is an annual trade show for the computer and video games industry presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The event took place from June 7-9, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. E3 is used by many video game developers to present their upcoming games and game-related hardware. E3 2011 was broadcasted on the G4 channel.
Expo summary
As in previous years, the conference was dominated by announcements from the three main console manufacturers: Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. Tech analysts considered the unveiling of Nintendo's Wii U tablet controller to be E3's biggest event, with Sony's PlayStation Vita handheld console also generating considerable press attention. The Wii U system was credited by several media outlets as a 'next generation' console. Microsoft did not announce any major hardware releases, but did showcase a number of games for its Kinect controller-free gaming system.
Press conferences
Konami had its own pre-E3 event on June 2, 2011, to showcase its upcoming games. The showcase included live events in a number of cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, São Paulo, and Mexico City.
Microsoft's press conference took place on June 6, 2011 at 9am PDT (the day before E3). It focused on the Xbox 360; it was titled the "Xbox 360 E311 Media Briefing" event. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was shown during Microsoft's press conference.
Sony's press conference took place on June 6, 2011 at 5pm PDT, the day before E3 officially began. However, the conference was delayed for 16 minutes. The press conference focused on the company's upcoming device, PlayStation Vita, and the PlayStation 3.
Nintendo's press conference took place on June 7, 2011 at 9am PDT at the Nokia Theatre. Nintendo unveiled the successor to its Wii console, the Wii U, which is expected to be released in 2012. A prototype of the console was playable to attendees of the event.
