I've seen a few people doing this on various sites and I decided to follow suit a little. Here are 12 predictions I'm making. Some of which are pretty solid, some are outlandish, but I think they're all possible.

     ----------------------------------------

#1 - Capcom will prepare to declare section 9 bankruptsy before the end of the year, and will almost sell the rights to various franchises. Nintendo will acquire Capcom.

#2 - The Playstation Vita will not become a sleeper hit in the handheld market due to expensive memory and misguided target audience,  even with a combination of decent games, remakes, and PS4 intergration making it desirable to more people. It'll scratch 10 million units by the end of the year.

#3 - Microsoft won't announce that they're discontinuing the Xbox 360 because the system is still pushing software. They will also not name a date for switching off Xbox Live for 360s. Both will not be announced before the end of the year.

#4 - Square Enix will tentatively announce or at least heavily hint at a remake for Final Fantasy VII. No details, no date, no gameplay will be shown.

#5 - The Last Guardian will re-appear and it'll be announced that it's coming to PS4 rather than PS3, there will be a massive fan outcry. No release date will be given though.

#6 - Titanfall will release with moderate to massive success.

#7 - Nintendo won't announce an attachement that will allow you to play 3DS games on the Wii U. They may announce a firmware update that further integrates the two systems together, in prepetation for their new systems.

#8 - Valve will fail to release Half-Life 3 for yet another year.

#9 - Wii U will break 10 million sales by the end of the year. Third party games will still suffer though, selling statistically less than on other consoles.

#10 - The Playstation 3 will dwindle in relevance, and possibly outsell the Xbox One globally in 2014.

#11 - Brazil won't change it's import laws. They make a lot of money on those taxes and don't care what gaming companies say about it.

#12 - World Of Warcraft will announce record levels of people unsubscribing and will have the lowest number of players since Burning Crusade.

So, what do you guys think? Are my predictions decent? Stupid? Inspired? Do you agree? Disagree? etc.
