Literally nothing points to it being so, but I hope so.

I don't know about Sony and Microsoft because I only watched Nintendo last year, but that was the best E3 for Nintendo in my opinion. It will be hard to top that this year, but I hope they do!

I don't really know what to expect this year, but I hope I will be surprised. There hasn't been too many leaks yet so I hope that's because companies are hiding things better rather than people not being able to find anything...

I feel like people are neglecting that at least on Sony's side that they aren't having a Gamescon press conference this year so their conference so have more stuff. 

E3 should be interesting, I feel like Micrsofts conference could be the sleeper hit,but feel Sony's could be the weakest. Either way I'll be watching all conferences and hope to see some good stuff

I have not been excited for an E3 in years. I will be watching, but I know what I want to be announced will not be announced, so always low expectations.

For Sony I can easily see this E3 surpass their E3 2014 (if they don't spend too much time on COD BO3 and demoing Morpheus) as their announcements was spread far too thin last year. Besides the 4 big ones (E3, Gamescom, TGS, PSX) we had GDC, PlayStation Launch Event, The Game Awards, etc. Additionally, we have announcements randomly dropped throughout the year (when so close to a big conference I wish SE for instance would save things like Deus Ex, Just Cause 3, Star Ocean 5 and Dissidia FF).

Due to a leak (SFV) this conference wasn't as big as it could've been but still as a first timer this was very good.

The only way it could be worse than 2012 is if they blew up a septic tank on stage and showered the crowd in feces. 

What has you thinking it may be one of the best E3s? Personally, Nitnen always has me excited with whatever surprises they have cooking, and if it's going to be anything like last year's E3, we're in for a good show, at least on Ninten's side.

I'm feeling we may actually get a good show from MS and Xbox, since Phil's been saying for a good while they have a lot of good stuff coming from them, 1st party often being mentioned, so they may have some good surprises up their sleeve too.

Sony... well, no idea. They been kinda quiet, so I have no expectations from them, which may be a good thing. With less hype, there's less to lose. They'll likely have some good stuff to announce anyways. They're not concerned for the holidays, so they must have something.

And considering how many other companies are having their own events, we may just be in for a good E3~ ; )

Also, kinda surprised that people are thinking this is going to be one of the less exciting E3s this year.
