PlayStation dropped Kojima Productions' Physint... and Xbox picked it up. Nintendo showed the Ocarina of Time remake, and then went and announced a new 2D Metroid. Blizzard revealed a StarCraft shooter for 2030, Diablo V for 2029, and a forever version of World of Warcraft. Insomniac's Wolverine came out.
