Microsoft or Nintendo - sony simply can't wit what they have right now. we basically know their whole lineup for next 6 month so how they can suprise us?
microsoft has a lot of announcements:
2 Rare Games,
new Molyneux game,
Gta4 second DLC episode,
new jrpgs from MS second party developers,
possible Crackdown 2,
motion sensing camera,
possibly new additions to Xbox Live and Marketplace,
Halo ODST, Forza3, Alan Wake, APB, new Splinter Cell,
maybe even that rumored handheld,
and probably at least few new games for second half of 2009 and first quarter of 2010.

nintendo has well way too much to mention everything. they can simply show gameplay videos from their preTGS lineup of games, give us few new announcements(Retro new game, Pikmin 3) and they will have best nintendo E3 conference in years maybe not best E32009 but definitely The Best Nintendo Show on E3.

oh and Kantor most of sony studios from your PLUS section aren't first party(they are either socond party or were making single exclusive game or franchise for sony and still are releasing games for other consoles).

I think my list basically disproves the point you are making (Yes, I know the "plus" section are third party, that's why they are in a plus section. Same with Microsoft).

Sony had a lot of franchises back in the day, and few of them have made it to PS3. We have yet to play a God of War, Ico game, Jak, Sly, Twisted Metal, full WipeOut or Syphon Filter, and most of those haven't even been announced for PS3.

And how can you assume we know Sony's 2009 lineup, when you're saying Microsoft is going to announce more? We've already figured out that the "only Sony announces games early" statement is bullshit- Alan Wake and Banjo Kazooie: N&B were both released years after the announcement, while Resistance 2 and MotorStorm 2 were announced in 2008. Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty was released two months after being displayed at E3. I don't believe Microsoft has much history of releasing games four months after they are announced (Sony Japan, however, announced Demon's Souls at TGS in November 08, and released it in February 2009).

I can, in fact, counteract every Microsoft prediction you have with a Sony prediction.

2 Rare Games, Eat Sleep Play game, several other first party games

Halo ODST, Forza3, Alan Wake, APB, new Splinter Cell, MAG, God of War III, Uncharted 2, A Crack in Time, Under Siege, WarDevil 3, GT5, and several more.
