It's over. It's done. E3 2009 has come and gone, and the worldwide gaming community is left to sift through the announcements, reveals, videos, hype and promises that came out of the yearly gaming expo this past week.

To make it just a wee bit easier, here are all the E3 2009-related news that graced the QJ.NET pages in the past week. This is quite long, so I'll cut this intro short and get right down to the meat. Hit the jump for the QJ.NET E3 2009 Round-up.

So the latest NPD results are out. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg got a head start and already snuck in some stink bombs on the arena. Well, today, we get to hear more reactions on February's sales figures, this time from Sony, Nintendo, and (again) Microsoft. This via Gamespot.

After all the fighting words Kaz Hirai and Aaron Greenberg slung at each other's console offerings, here comes Michael Pachter to the rescue! Well no, not really, but seeing as how he's never been one to shy away from a chance to get himself heard, he's thrown his own two cents in on the issue.

It just never ends. Sony's Kazuo Hirai recently threw some mud Microsoft's way when he said that the Xbox 360 had "no longevity," and that the PS3 will have a higher install base by the end of its life cycle. Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's fanboy spokesperson Xbox Product Management Director, has a few things to say about that.

If and when the PlayStation 3 gets a price cut, practically everyone expects sales to boom, if not completely skyrocket to the moon. Enough to catch up and totally whoop the Xbox 360 perhaps? Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg isn't worried about it at all.

Aaron Greenberg shares a few words with G4TV and lets us in on a little more PS3-sniping, and more citing of figures that the Xbox 360 and Wii have that the PS3 does not. What's more, he expects Sony to drop the price of their console if they want to stay competitive. More info after the jump.

A lot of us can agree that the PlayStation 3 really needs a price cut. Just how badly does it need one? Well, the Xbox 360 now leads by over 8 million units worldwide. It's gotten so that even Microsoft's openly expecting them to have a price cut soon.

A big "oh no, they didn't!" moment came about last week when Ernst & Young revealed that Microsoft is one of their many clients that are joining in on tests to see if PlayStation Home could become a viable environment for virtual corporate meetings. Today, Microsoft has dismissed these reports, saying that they have everything they need as it is.

Who needs webcam conferences when you can have it over at PlayStation Home? Video conferences are so last year, especially now if you can have your avatar drop some cabbage patches or a running man while sealing a multimillion dollar deal over the network. Gives an entirely new definition to "working at Home," doesn't it? Yes, apparently, some companies are already testing out this new venture: virtual corporate meetings at Home. And that includes Microsoft!

Ah yes, it's the Christmas season indeed. The spirit of joy and cheer is all around us: angry shoppers, traffic jams, and the occasional cross-platform bashing between Microsoft and Sony.

Xbox 360 product manager Aaron Greenberg talks about how Microsoft is dealing with the holidays, especially in these times of economic turmoil. Meanwhile, he also takes a potshot at every Sony fanboy's favorite Christmas present: PlayStation Home.
