I predict that most people will pick the company they like best as the winner of E3, usually based on the criteria of, "I like their games more." Conversely, they'll call the other conferences "boring" and "terrible" because they had games they didn't like as much. After that, they'll argue that their opinions are factually correct because they have the only perspective that matters. Youtube views will be called in as evidence.
Such an exciting time.
Personally, I think this will be Sony's most middle-of-the-road conference in awhile (though I've said that before and been very wrong). Not because we won't see video of some quality games but because there is a vocal group of people who only seem to care about big announcements. We already know most of what Sony is working on so there will certainly be some, "OMG WHERE ARE THE SUPRISES WORST CONFRENCE EVER!!" comments.
However, if the pacing is anything like last year's event, I will enjoy it. Prediction -- WINNER
Nintendo should have a quality event because I think they have a lot of unannounced content in the works. They probably won't throw it all out there, though, as the plan this time seems to be to follow a measured and orderly pace. Prediction -- WINNER
Microsoft is the most interesting. What do they have in the works? Do they have any bombshells? Do they have anything at all besides Scorpio making games look a bit better? This is Microsoft. The have the resources to turn this around--provided they don't spend those resources on dancing elephants and strippers. I think we'll see at least two surprises and then a lot of Phil looking trendy with a gaming tshirt and a blazer. Prediction -- DRAW(ers?)
