Now that the E3 madness is over, it's time to start analyzing what went downward with a petty more than depth. According to Facebook data reported by Venturebeat, Sony won the E3 conference war on Zuckerberg's platform.

However, there'south a lot more to social media than just Facebook. Luckily, Brandwatch shared the data collected past their "social intelligence platform" and we can now paint a more authentic picture.

Among the remaining conferences, Ubisoft triumphed with 17% of social mentions, while EA got xiii% and Bethesda 8%. The PC Gaming Show only got ii% of mentions, unsurprisingly.

Brandwatch also analyzed social mentions for all the games showcased at the conferences, though. Permit'southward beginning with Electronic Arts, since that was the first one.

FIFA 17 won with 19% of mentions, though again that'southward inappreciably a surprise given how pop the franchise is across all platforms. Mass Effect: Andromeda's start wait video, even if brief, granted Bioware'due south title a solid second place at eighteen% tied with DICE's Battlefield i. Titanfall 2 and Star Wars Battlefront both stopped at sixteen%.

Let's move over to Bethesda.

Dishonored 2, which got its outset gameplay demonstration at E3 2022, won with 20% of the total. Convulse Champions secured the 2d place with eighteen%, tied with Skyrim Remastered, while the new Prey game by Arkane stopped at 12%.

Microsoft'south pie shows a very tight split, on the other manus.

With so many games announced or talked about, the percentages were very close. Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4, both announced for Windows 10 PC at the briefing, got the most mentions with 12% and 11% respectively. Dead Ascent 4, Minecraft and indie game We Happy Few all tied at 8%.

The last i (in that location's no need to have a look at the split for the Treehouse live stream as Zelda was the star of that show) was Sony's.

As yous already know if y'all watched it live, this was a conference filled with large games and franchises (though many of them are still far from release).

The Last Guardian, which received its release date trailer, got 10% of mentions while Insomniac's Spider-Homo surprise received 9%.
