Im not being optimistic here, but unlike in other interviews he did say it for himself, no one forced him to say it unlike in the other interviews. The interviewer says "whats in store for 2009" not "so what will you store in E3" different questions. Reggie could say the current games that will out in 2009 but he definitely says "wait till E3" so I could conclude we are in surprise this E3.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
