Data Dump: Who Won E3 2018?
by marino
It's always been a dumb question. But, what if we applied a little math and science to it anyway? If you were in chat during any of the press conferences media briefings showcases, then you may have seen a poll at the end asking you to rate the show from 1-10. Well, I took all that data and used it to determine who the Giant Bomb Community thinks "won E3 2018."
Check a look!
Electronic Arts
E3 2018 got off to a mostly disappointing start.Microsoft
50 games. 18 exclusives. 15 world premieres. Microsoft brought it this year.Bethesda
When in doubt, just announce literally everything you're even thinking about making.Square Enix
They spent a month hyping this up and it didn't pay off.Ubisoft
That panda definitely earned them some points.
Sony
Did the banjo guy earn them some votes or hurt them?Nintendo
The Nintendo vote was all over the place. Unlike their show, which was basically one game.Overall
Prior to the first GB @ Nite show on Tuesday, I asked everyone who they thought won E3. This was the result:
How does that single vote stand up to all the data collected immediately after the conference?
Aside from Ubisoft and Bethesda being flipped (very narrowly), the data and the vote actually match.
Ultimately, it's clear that Microsoft won E3 2018 according to the Giant Bomb Community.
