Should be a most excellent show. We've the successor to the Wii to not only be on display but also be playable. Also Sony's next foray in the portable gaming market, rumored to be named Vita, should also be at the show and should also be well into its development (likely a finished model or close to it).

Last year's E3 was plagued by motion gaming devices. Also the 3DS was yet another gimmick that has been a large disappointment.

E3 always offers surprises and this year should be no different. I think Nintendo will steal the show with Project Cafe aka WiiHD. The WiiHD is rumored to have a more standard controller but with a touch screen built in. In my opinion this is quite genius because the IPod Touch has been an impressive gaming device thanks to its touch features and gyroscope. Surely Nintendo has asked themselves why they weren't the ones to have created Doodle Jump or Angry Birds. I'm really interested in how they will interface the console with the controller. Also with the more standard controller we return to the more familiar form of gaming. We'll be playing the likes of Mario and Zelda in high definition for the first time with the touch screen controller also adding new experiences.

Nintendo also has the 3DS which has potential that hasn't yet been realized. I feel they launched the handheld console too early. Hopefully Nintendo will have some amazing titles to reveal for the 3DS.

The MS press conference is going on atm and the Kinect titles are such an embarrassment...the Star Wars one was especially retarded. Since when did gaming become less about sitting down in a comfortable chair or couch and using a keyboard/mouse or a controller and more about jumping around like rabbits and flailing your arms like a bee is attacking you? Fucking ridiculous.

If Nintendo is as smart as they seem to be, retarded motion controls will take a back seat for the Wii 2 or whatever the Wii successor is gonna be called.

Meanwhile, Sony just walked Ken Levine onto the stage to say he'll be putting motion controls into Bioshock Infinite. So much for core gaming!

Forgettable E3 so far. Nintendo should grasp the situation and prepare a lights out showing for tomorrow. They've got a new console, a fairly recent portable and several franchises that people want to play on new devices.

They'd do themselves a favor by only having their Wii section for Zelda Skyward Sword (which is hopefully also being built for WiiHD) and the new Kirby game. Leave the rest for the future.
