Sony 2006 crippled the PS3 for the first few years. Nintendo 2008 was just hilarious and stupid.

I don't think any press conference has ever made me experience the extreme range of emotions that Ubisoft 2010 has.

I think Child of Eden saved it from being a complete waste... it was on the edge... I'll see if I can edit the poll 
 
EDIT: Appearantly I can't, but I'll add it to the 3 options in my first post here.

Sony 2006 was pretty funny, and Microsoft 2010 was really boring, but I voted Nintendo 2008 because it was a complete disaster.

People keep beating up on Microsoft's press conference, but I actually enjoyed it. Admittedly Kinects has yet to grab me but they showed a bunch of cool, new footage from some big name games as well as revealing some new ones. Sounds like a successful press conference to me.

The Microsoft press conference wasn't that bad.  I think you can't properly judge this until you've taken time to soak it all in and let the initial emotion wear off.

At least the Sony and Nintendo presentations were Ed Wood bad.  Microsoft's presentation was Uwe Boll bad.

Microsoft's this year sucked ass and I don't remember Sony 2006.  I remember Nintendo 2008 as being real bad, but I thought Microsoft was worse this year because I actually had expectations.

Sony's was hilarious, and MS wasn't that bad:  the cringeworthy sections were always punctuated by the good games.  Thus, it falls to Nintendo, which literally made me drowsy (thus saving me from retching in my mouth).

At this point, Microsoft 2010.  I mean Ravi Drums was pretty bad and so was Giant enemy crab, but Dance Central takes the cake.

@WickedCobra03:  You thought Dance Central was the worst part of that conference?  As a game I have no interest, but as a presentation I thought it was fine compared to most of the Kinect stuff.

@TurboMan:

you know, I made a thread in teh 360 section suggesting just that, but Theyre would atleast be some people calling it out for being bad, adn so far I dont see taht many. Which makes me thinkthey legitemetly think its was good. Which is what I cant understand. When Nintendo does stupid motion crap, people rip on them, but when MS does it for a hour, everyone loves it apparently.

Ubisoft 2009 for sure. At least Sony 2006 was a funny failure. Ubisoft 2009 was just a boring one.

I never really pay attention to the 3rd party conferences, but I'm pretty sure Ubisoft's would take the cake according to Giant Bomb. I honestly thought Microsoft was just okay, not horrible or anything. 3 stars on a Giant Bomb scale. 
 
That Nintendo 2008 conference was the worst though. They were supposed to be showing hot new Wii titles since the system had been for a decent amount of time then. Animal Crossing was all they had, and that game (predictably) turned out to be nothing new.

Microsoft showed Halo Reach, Gears of War 3, MGS Rising, COD, and Madden.  They could have browsed 4chan for the rest of the conference and they still would have beat 2008 Nintendo and 2006 Sony.  
Some of that Natal stuff was impressive too.  They just had horrible fucking presenters.

At least Sony 06 was entertaining, whether or not it was intended. Of all the conferences I've seen since I started watching them in 2005, Nintendo 07 and Nintendo 08 have been the worst. Microsoft 2010 was close to that level.

Dude Nintendo's was fucking horrible. Easily the worst. Sony's was pretty hilarious and entertaining. The fact that MS 2010 is mentioned among them speaks volumes. MS 2010 was crap!

It was at a Konami thing, none of the big three, and I doubt televised anywhere... but here's what you're talking about:

Ubisoft 2009 was dreadful. So was Ubisoft 2010. The Big Three's worst conferences don't even compare to those because at the very least we had something to laugh at from each of those.  The Ubisoft ones were just ... boring.      

    
The trailer didn't load, so this became incredibly awkward. And then, who can forget... 
  
    
 

Then we had this:   
   
 So fun to watch.
