MS sounds right. Sony sounds right except for a big new RPG (if they actually have one it'd be announced at TGS probably) and Zone of the Enders (also TGS). I don't think Nintendo will have Zelda, KH (KH games are announced at TGS), or F-Zero but they can definitely have the rest.

I really don't think Nintendo will present their E3 conference without showcasing either Mario or Zelda. I think most people will be disappointed without seeing a major title like that, and I don't think Nintendo is stupid enough not to show the game at E3.

About F-Zero, a game like F-Zero won't take more than 16 months to be developed, so I don't see why Nintendo won't be able to show it even if we assume the game has been in development for 8 months, and I think in a way, this game can take advantage of Wii Motion Plus.

As for a big Sony RPG, I am also doubtful about it, but I do think a big RPG is in development from Sony Japan Studios.

KH for Wii is very likely to happen, but I also don't see it being announced at E3. :/

Oh, and notice that I am not expecting ZoE3 to be shown at E3 '09.

 



Sony will dominate E3

PSP Go
New motion sensing controller for Ps3
God of War III, Uncharted 2, GT5 = Win



"I don't have time to play video games anymore, but if I did, I would definitely choose the PlayStation 3 instead of the 360" - President Barack Obama

I have nothing to say about the Wii so dont be surprised......

 

Shockers:
  • New Xbox 360 Model (Slim) to be announced<-----I doubt this alot!

  • I expect Xbox 360 to be released bundled with a new motion sensing device from 3DV Systems, the creators of ZCam, which MS have recently acquired<---Maybe.....

Games:
  • A Halo game from Wingnut Interactive<------nope

  • Rare to unveil two new games - One for XBL, and one disc-based<-----Your proly dead on

  • Forza 3 to be in playable form<----yeah

  • Alan Wake to be in playable form (+ release date)<----that would be good news

  • New game from Bizarre Creations <---cool if it happens

  • New Mistwalker product (Maybe for TGS)<---maybe

  • New Ignition Entertainment exclusive title<---the SNK publisher?

  • Some sort of Modern Warfare 2 exclusivity - like exclusive beta, exclusive DLC, etc.<------that would kill

  • Halo ODST, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Lost Planet 2, etc.<------yep

Not expecting:

  • Versus XIII multiplatform announcement<-----nethier am I but look what happened last year

  • You Are In The Movies 2 :)<-----LMAO

 

Sony 

I personally think Sony will target the Hardcore market with PS3 for this Christmas while trying to broadening it's market with PSP, I think Sony will focus most of their E3 presentation on PSP, which I think will disappoint some people. 

Shockers: 

  • New PSP announcement (PSP-4000) with its huge upcoming line up<---yes

  • New Metal Gear for PSP or a Team ICO PSP game/remake.<----Nope, as for ICO..Maybe but not likely

  • Three big new PS3 game announcement - One from Team ICO, another from one of Sony's Europe studios, and one from Sony Japan (maybe an RPG).<----They should have something....That Dragoon game anyone?

Games:

  • God of War III demo and a release date for late 2009 (December)<----- I wish, if i get this job next week im going on a 20$ a week plan to get a pS3 in 5 months

  • Uncharted 2 release date and single player demo<-----yep

  • Heavy Rain to be in playble form (+ release date)<-----you better hope

  • M. A. G. Shadow War beta detail and release date<-----MAG might...I don't know....It's not that big a deal to me not to have this on 360

  • Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time demo<-----Sure why not

  • GT5 and maybe GT PSP<---sounds like sony to have Gt for PSP this E3

  • Lost Planet 2 or Mass Effect 2 heading to PS3<----Lost planet is a maybe.....Mass Effect 2 is highly impossible since the game maker asked people to have thier game saves ready(Your Mass Effect game save will do something in part 2)
  • Few new unique PSN titles<---don't doubt it

  • Huge PSX library on PSN<----Nope!

  • WKC, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Quantum Theory, WarDevil, etc...<----yeah yeah

Not expecting:

  • Wii-mote like controller <-----im actually expecting this

  • Zone of the Enders 3<-----Kojima and his stunts....Oh well

Everything true, but I dont think that Square Enix had time or has time to work on a kingdom hearts game.



Hmm

  • Splinter Cell: Conviction
  • Forza 3
  • Halo: ODST
  • Rares new games

all 2009 release dates.

  • Alan Wake 2010 release date (Early)
  • Lionheads new project annoucned with no release date

Thats about all I can think of for the Xbox 360.



Tease.

Someone should make an official sticky thread =/

PS3

KHIII(unlikely but possible :P)

 

Wii

Kid Icarus

Pikmin III

New Zelda

A Zelda spin off made by retro

Matsumo RPG.

 

Very unlikely.

360 games dont' sell well in japan. And KH like FF they like pushing boundries. So I suspect It will be treated like FF13. 1st anounched for PS3 then ported over to 360 for everywhere but japan. (then released on the 360 in japan with NA launch)
