Here is what I expect from this E3:

1- Lots of games announced for the Wii, which will kill all the myths about Wii's software lineup.
2- Sony and Microsoft announce their WiiTooMotes.

If both of these happen, the ensuing meltdown will be unprecedented.

I pray every night that that's just an unsubstantiated rumour.  Please God, don't let that be true.

If it happens, it will provide us with entertainment value on these and other forums, and it will allow for some console strategy games with decent controls. In the extreme, it could even allow me to buy RE5 for the 360 if they implemented those controls there.

Why don't you want it to happen?

Because it'll look desperate.  Sony doing home is far more ambitious than Mii's and their online strategy is fairly different from Microsofts, but copying a the remote from Nintendo will look like copying, as there isn't much more that you can do to flesh the controller out, but there was much to do to flesh out the Mii service in Home.  It'll just look like copying, while the Home is more comprehensive than just an avatar.  And I think when people copy ideas, it's just wrong, looks bad, and never works out good.
