Ok, first off, let me say that E3 is only fun because of big and amazing announcments. Demo'ing games the public hasn't Demo'd yet is novel, but in the end, completely moot. Hearing about NEW games, and changes to the game industry as a whole, that is what I care about, so that is what I predict. End of story.

So, here we go, this is what I HOPE and predict:

Nintendo-kun:

Ah yes, Nintendo knows that this year, they can't dissapoint the core audience. Question is, what do they think will appease us? They must know that in order to appease us, they must exceed our expectations, and thustly, at the end of the conference 2 new games will be shown:

A. Zelda Wii. It will incorporate the Wii motion plus, AND will come packaged with a Wii motion plus, just like Kart and the wheel. The game will be shown, and vaguely dated for Early 2010. The game will have a unique artstyle, and incorporate a real sword motion gameplay gimmick, which WILL be awesome.

B. Super Mario Universe for Wii. This will be a direct sequel to Galaxy. The game will use the same graphics engine as Galaxy, and the same gameplay. It will be an expanded content pack for Galaxy, again, with some sort of Wii Motion Plus or Wii Fit gimmickry that will be awesome.

C. Wii Fit Plus. I dont' care about this one. No prediction for you!

Xbox 360/MS

The old box. MS knows what American's like. An "oh snap!" moment at the end of the show. We will have that. Besides that, we pretty much know everything from this this year. New camera motion toy, new Splinter Cell(be a big talk of the show), Perfect Dark 2, Zune HD, showing of old games, so firmware update with a cool gimmick, let's focus on the "almost" megaton possibilities(megatons are unpredictable):

A. New game from Peter. Oh yes. That would be cool. Lionhead did a great job with Fable 2, and a new game from them, while not a megaton, would be welcome news. Release in 2010.

B. MGS4, MGS5, or VersesXIII multiplat for the Xbox 360.

C. Some upcoming big game exclusive to the 360. GTA or something smaller. XIII spinoff maybe. This could possibly be Halo 4.

Playstation Brand

Well, Sony had a few of their major announcements spoiled. I think a 100 dollar price cut is impossible, but we might see a 50. The PSP Go and the Slim PS3 are both major spoilers that might have been huge, but are now known by everyone, just like the 360 motion stuff. We also might seen new motion stuff from Sony, as well as a ton of older games. MAG, new GoW3 trailer/demo(will be highly touted by previewers), Gran Turismo stuff.

A. I think that we'll see the new Metal Gear game announced on the PS3/PSP. It is all but confirmed, but it would still be of significance.

B. Sony shows a lot of their old games, and gives us a new one for next year, the new TEAM ICO exclusive. Shadow of the Colossus 2.

C. Sony gives some sort of new usage to the EyeToy, to challenge MS's new motion technology, but it will not be as advanced.

Except the Sony one which is way to week, all the rest seem plausable... tough when it comes to MS I would say that their exlcusive would be probab;ly something smaller then GTA... a FF spinoff... well if the PS3 gets VS I dont see why the Box couldent get one ;)

I don't think Verses is a spinoff.

Anyway, YOU predict Sony then, and if yours is plausible, I might change mine.

your predictions arent crazy, they'er actually very likely. i hope they come true for the wii especially.

I think your MS predictions incorporate too little Halo, but other than that, they seem pretty good.

And I can't really see anything wrong with your Sony predictions, other than that pricecut you mentioned, which I think is completely out of the question until the Slim releases in the fall.

Yeah, OTSD(if that is right) will be highly touted, and I added that the big exclusive COULD be Halo 4...but I doubt it.

I think the Halo: Reach thingy will be a pretty big announcement. Could be Halo 4, I don't really know.

I expected crazy prediction, i was wrong.

Wii.

1. A new Final fantasy will be announced
2. Wii HD coming in 2010, Zelda released with it

Japanese engineering > american engineering.

assure you nintendo and sony will have a better motion sensor.

but it's sad u think that way, done right motion control can not be gimmick, especially with nice graphics and a huge budget that makes the gameplay engaging that just waggle.

I think that Microsoft will announce as games:

• Halo 4
• Bungies next game, (ODST only has like 20 people working on it)
• Lionheads next game, 40% chance releasing this year.
• Rares 1-2 games (One will be a big franchise)
• Whatever Bighugegame or whoever was working on that made them buy the company.
• Forza 3 (Has to happen officially sometime)
• A few money hats

I think the reason why they would break the bank for this year and next year at the same time is because in 2010 they have to switch their developers to next generation projects.
