Nintendo are also expected to have a full showing of their new hand-held, the 3DS, which had to be announced earlier in the year after Nintendo were wary of a possible leak. The 3DS continues the trend towards 3D gaming and uses the in-built camera and head-tracking technology to simulate three dimensions, all without the need for glasses. The 3DS is backwards compatible with current DS and DSI games.
Right then, let's not beat about the bush, Sony's 'PSP Go' was a misstep as far as gamers were concerned. Announced and released late last year, it was a huge slap in the face for anyone expecting a successor to the PSP. However, E3 is here and I'd not be surprised to see the much desired 'PSP 2' finally announced, with twin analogue sticks, superior processing power and perhaps a touch screen interface to rival the iPhone. If all this shows up, consider me interested. Oh, and don't be stupid with the pricing model again Sony, please!
Moving onto the highlight of the convention for most people, the games that are likely to be shown and detailed. It's here that I urge Sony and Polyphony Digital to please, please, please give us a confirmed release date for Gran Turismo 5. It's been way to long for the ultimate in racing titles to still have no real game footage shown, with a release date that can't stand still if it tried (even though it's finished!). Sony are also likely to show off their spy-espionage title Agent, which is being developed by Rockstar North (of GTA IV fame, no less) exclusively for the PS3. We've seen nothing of the game so far, so it'd be nice for a trailer or two at least.

Expect even more shocks from this year's event, expect more games to be detailed than I have time to list here and most of all, expect a great show.
What do you think is likely to be announced? Post below...
