There is a leak going about:
MS E3 big drops. Xbox Fluid - New Motion camera! Splinter Cell Conviction Halo ODST Alan Wake APB Metal Gear Solid 4 + Oxide (Show Finale)
I wouldn't be surprised if the rumor is true:
neogaf Revelations

Nothing even close to "megaton" IMO :P
If this is all MS have for E3, they aren't going to have a great show...

I disagree. While I feel that lately many PS3 fanboys have been trying to downplay the possibility of losing this exclusive, it is still the best reason to own a PS3, and Sony losing it should not be taken lightly.
It wouldn't be a huge announcement in a purely fiscal sense. Neither was the FFXIII thing.
However, in the minds of people who haven't yet chosen a PS3 or 360, the MGS4 announcement for the 360 would be very influential, I would imagine.
There is also the epic ownage to consider, of most PS3 fanboys. They have said for a long time, that the game was impossible on the 360, and that indeed the game would factually never come to the console. Just proving those absolutes wrong would be well worth my time at the conference.
Reasoning it out, I don't think there could be a bigger predictable anouncement from Microsoft, than the acquisition of the PS3's biggest exclusive. For predetermined fans and current gen console owners, it means nothing(unless they are 360 fans, in which case, the news is huge). PS3 fans already have many traps set up over the past few months they set in order to marginalize the news("I played it a year ago" "MS paid for this!?" ect.) However, despite that, it is still the loss of the best current exclusive title on the Playstation 3, to multiplat status, and a major talking point for the console completely gone. Future console purchasers(the only ones that matter in the userbase war, no?) are influenced by this announcement.
How is that not a megaton, you tell me?
I mean, imagine the shitstorm if Gears 1 and 2 came out this December on a single BR, for the PS3. Same thing. It just wouldn't be as expected.
Losing Verses wouldn't be nearly as impressive as MGS4. It's just not a high profile game.
