So E3 2010 is almost here, and things are looking very interesting. A few predictions to get the ball rolling:

Nintendo:

- The Nintendo 3DS will wow everyone. It will cost $179.99

- The new LOZ game will feature a younger Link.

- A new Wiimote will be unveiled.

- Kingdom Hearts for Wii (not kingdom Hearts 3) will be shown.

- Vitality Sensor also works with 3DS.


Microsoft:

- Microsoft will impress with Project Natal, it actually works with hardcore games.

- Natal will have full app support.

- Xbox Slim will be shown in prototype form.

- Xbox Live will receive a price hike.

- Natal will not be the final name.


Sony:

- Everyone attending the Sony conference will be given 3D glasses.

- 3D on Ps3 is very good. Surprisingly good.

- Ps3 OS will be completely redone to support both Move and 3D. Expect Ads on the dashboard.

- PS3 rewards program will be fully unveiled.

- Jack Tretton will be stepping down.


Other predictions:

- Just Dance will be shown for other platforms.

- Both Kingdom Hearts 3 and Versus 13 to be revealed as multi-platform titles.

- Portal 2 will be a Natal game on both PC and 360.

- Gameinformer and a few other gaming magazines will be available digitally on Xbox Live (timed exclusive).

-------------------------------------------------

Of course these could all turn out wrong, but it should be fun seeing which ones turn out right.

What are your predictions?

I figure that Kingdom Hearts 3 would be announced at TGS, not E3.

I predict it will be done at E3, with first gameplay footage shown at TGS

My E3 Predictions:

Sony:

- Kaz Hirai will come out to the audience and announce his intention of committing seppuku for the PS3's massive failure.  He will kneel onstage and ask in the audience for someone to be his second.  A hand will go up, and Hirai will ask him to come onstage...the grim figure will be revealed to be none other than KEN KUTARAGI.  Hirai will be momentarily shocked, but then just nod and proceed to split open his belly using a beautiful handcrafted Japanese blade.  As his intestines spill forth from his slit stomach, Kutaragi will let out an angry yell and chop off Hirai's head.  Covered in blood and gore, Kutaragi will shout out "THIS IS LIVING!"
 
- There will be playable 3D demos of several PS3 games that also use the PS3 wand controller.

MicroSoft:

- Steve Ballmer will rush the stage screaming something about how J Allard no longer works for MicroSoft.  He will suddenly spontaneously ignite and after his screams subside and all that is left of his body is burning embers, Allard will come down from the heavens to reward the MS faithful with free Natal devices to everyone who already owns a 360.

- Slim revision of the 360 will be on display.  Will be released only bundled together with Natal.

Nintendo:

- As the curtains come up, Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata will be caught kissing each other full-on the mouth.  They will confess that they have been secret lovers for the past ten years and that all the Wii games Miyamoto worked on have hidden subtext about their relationship.  Ninfans brains will explode with the horrors of homophobia.

- New revision of the Wiimote with WiiMotion Plus included will be announced for $49.99.

I think Project Natal will really excite a lot of people.

Especially casual gamers  :D

If TripleA's predictions for Nintendo come through, it will certainly make gamers go "wow, is that all you got?".

Back on topic.

One more prediction; PS2 emulation on Ps3 will be shown, will have an interface that is somewhat similar to Netflix on Ps3.

- Natal is a steaming sack of shit and people will openly wonder what the hell MS are thinking

naw, that'll only hit them after they buy it, they're gonna polish and sell that turd through the advertising and make it look like a magic box

also it will be expensive but they will cram pack it full of starter minigames (and, my guess - one older "hardcore" game reworked to use motion) to make it look like a bargain

I agree with Borys that Sony stretched itself too thin with their focus on the PSP.  The root of Sony's problems lies with them wanting the whole damn pie, not just a piece of it.  What's worse is that they are arrogant enough to believe that they can do it.

is the PSPGo just pure profit for them though?  I mean, it's less of a psp, a system they were already turning profit on.  and it spurred PSN sales a tiny bit.

I'm not saying it's a success, but more of a "meh, why not, lets try this, nothing major to lose" type of thing.  It just seems like a safe system to put out, if that makes any sense.

Although the PSP has been fairly successful, it's impossible to measure how much money Sony lost by not devoting 100% attention to just one new system, like they did in the previous generations.  PSP getting spanked by the DS was the first chink in their armor. Many started to analogize the PS3/WII fight to the one between the PSP & DS.  Whereas it was once inconceivable that the PS3 wouldn't completely dominate the gaming world, people started to believe that maybe things would be a bit different this time around.  Things probably would have turned out much differently this gen if Sony hadn't start losing their aura of invincibility.

Actually in the beginning it looked like they could have done it as they had the hype (ps2 killing shit, sony household name, that phrase about handheld gaming ghetto) and in the early part they even had the sales over the ds for a time but they squandered it (DS getting NintenDogs and NSMB then taking off like a fucking rocket, psp with shit ports of console games and at times no games for weeks).

Then piracy just placed it in the coffin.


They ended up the best selling gaming handheld that's not nintendo (unless you include Apples Iphone/itouch), made profit ,so i think they will try again.

But they now have another competitor to deal with and they wont have that hype like they had with the first PSP

The technology has essentially been called the “real” Wii HD numerous times since its unveiling, back when the name wasn’t Move, back when it virtually had no name. Pachter predicts it just won’t be a big enough story, “because it’s already out, because we’ve all touched it and played it.” Natal on the other hand has been in its hideout for the last year, showing nothing new and yet, according to Pachter and his sources, there’s no more room for more titles for the hardware’s launch line-up, it’s jam-packed. He even commented about developers having to wait for next year to show off new games just because of the aforementioned reason.

TripleA crowd will be pleased... :yuck

My predictions are simple

Nintendo

-2 hours long snooze fest,yawn

Sony

-3D dildo waving fest,glasses required,dork convention

MS

-Move your body,your body is the controller,chimpanzee fest


PSP2-no chance,meh...PS2 BC :lol...PS3 still doesn't have it
To have like HD consoles graphics,Sony would have use

-Couple of complex high-clock CPU cores
-Complex GPU,that runs hot as hell
-At least 512MB
-motherboard that would ensure enough bandwidth

A device like that would require PS3 sized cooler and would drain battery in 10 minutes on standby...and would cost like hell

Honestly, given what happened last year with the Sony leaks i would see them trying their hardest.

And while its true Sony stuff leaks, it looks like they have done a good job so far of plugging up (Hell the games we know so far are announced by official channels).  

It could be real and announced or not

PSP2 will be a download-only device similar to PSP go, if comments by Sony Computer Entertainment Australia are anything to go by.

Speaking to Gamespot in the interview you can find below, SCEA boss Michael Ephraim said clearly the future PSP hardware will follow PSP go’s example in dropping physical retail games.

“PSP go… was the first device of its kind, where you didn’t have packaged goods or pre-recorded media, and I think PSP go will blaze the trail for future iterations of the handheld,” he said.

Ephraim went on to say PSP is competing not only with other games devices but with phones.

“The handheld space is very crowded, not just in the game category, but also with smart phones and so on,” he said.

“We’re happy we launched it so we can understand the market and we will re-energise sales very shortly with new promotions.”

Download only,this will not end well...handheld market will not except $30-40 download-only games
Up to $10,yes...but higher,no chance

Yeah,but that is Apple and those games are cheap.

Besides buying Apple devices is like some status,trendy thing.
Playstation is more like something for common folks,masses,kids...

Going head to head with Apple is not a smart idea.

This shit really doesn't interest me these days. Half of the shit gets canceled or delayed and/or reworked beyond recognition, and with the shit that does come out like it should they will have already shown the best levels. And Wii made a mockery of the once reasonably awesome console war, so it's just one critical meh now.

Predictions :
- Natal is a steaming sack of shit and people will openly wonder what the hell MS are thinking

I completely disagree.

The biggest problem with Natal is lag. If the lag is indeed fixed (as recent reports have claimed) , then the device will work as advertised.

I think Natal will be very impressive.

I predict Natal will retail for $120 with a game, $79.99 for just the device itself.
