But what's with everyone saying "too much 3D from Sony"? (I've been reading it on other sites as well)
Did yall miss the last like half hour of the Nintendo one where they talked about the 3DS?
(Meh, maybe it's just because for the past year or so gaming's been dead to me and I was actually happy to see some titles that looked interesting, of which, most of Sony's presentation seemed to be.)

Basically, the entirety of Sonys conf delt with 3D, the thing is...what about people who dont think 3D matters yet, like me. Not everyone can afford a 3DTV.

Really?
They started with 3D. Showed some Killzone for a while. Then went onto the Move, then started talking about the PSP, then went to games.
Only like the first 1/2 hour (of a 2 hour show) of their show was about 3D.
Granted... The CEO is pretty boring to listen too, I'll give you that (hehe)
(Maybe I think Sony's was best because, As I've stated before here or elsewhere, can't remember... MS's was complete rubbish... and I've never really been a fan of any of the Nintendo franchises, so their entire show didn't really appeal to me)

Konami's conference just ended. I found it hilarious. So many weird characters on stage, and such a dead audience. Made for many awkward moments. Their games were varied, but amongst two new Castlevania titles, a new MGS, Silent Hill... and Otomedius: Excellent they have quite a bit going for them. Sure, they had a bunch of novelty titles for the "new" motion technologies, and yet two other singstar reinventions. I really enjoyed the conference as a whole anyway.
Video may be up here later on.
tl;dr incoming on 3D
As for Sony spending a lot of time on 3D tech: The reason it's bad is that, as others said, 3D screens are expensive right now. I personally don't even think it will be a hit at all. The whole glasses issue is something for a [home] cinema, not for the regular TV/console room. It's something exclusively for rich, ronery enthusiasts the way I see it.
I'm not too happy about 3DS either, since it simply takes advantage of a tech already existing in anything that has a camera. While it might pull more developers into the 3D industry, I fear that it will be a completely useless gimmick for graphics rather than gameplay. I dare say now that only Nintendo, and a very small minority will develop games that truly exploit the possibilities of 3D. As for Sony's 3D solution, this gameplay opportunity will be impossible due to perspective (the games do not know where you are). They can't really afford to bet that many people have 3D screens either, so to sell games they'll need to work without 3D also. Though, at least they have the core graphics down to use 3D just as a graphical enhancer, in my humble opinion.
It's just that it's a useless gimmick that they spend way too much time and resources on.
Tatsujin:
Twisted Metal. That's all I have to say. Oh, Killzone 3 and Little Big Planet 2. I've only seen Sony's conference. I want to play Zelda and ... as for Miscrosoft... no. Just .. no.
I'm pretty disappointed in Sony, they didn't show Last Guardian.

It uses the same technology as this DSi "game" (well explained in this Wii presentation). Though, as far as I know, it's not officially announced that it uses head tracking. The "one internal and two external cameras" makes it sound that way, though.
