There's only 4 days remaining until the big gaming giants Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft make their press conference speeches at E3 2008 and, to show my appreciation for this period, I've compiled a list of predictions of what we might find this year!

So, cynicism aside (or not), here's what I expect/believe/wish to be announced at this years event:

Nintendo

• Kid Icarus trailer is shown and will be playable on the floor. Release date to be early 2009 (that's late 2010 for us Europeans) Mario and Zelda will take a break this year.
• Animal Crossing Online for the Wii is announced but is not playable. Another 2009 release date.
• Voice chat is announced (...I joke, I joke. Sorry, I'll be serious)
• Nintendo resolves the data storage issues of the Wii (haha...sorry, I couldn't resist)
• In conclusion- more waggle for your wii-mote and another lecture of how they conquered the casuals.

Sony

• Team Ico show a very short teaser for their next game. Release date TBA
• God of War 3 is displayed in its full HD perfection and lots of scarlet blood splatters the screen to reveal a 2009 release date.
• The PSP gets some PS3 spin offs like Resistance and Uncharted.
• In conclusion, Sony attempts to step up to the mark and reveals some exclusives for their systems. No price cuts and not much focus on statistics as they seem to lack many to flaunt...

Microsoft

• Alan Wake finally gets some attention and another trailer is shown. Release date either to be 2010 or TBA.
• Gears of war 2, Fable 2 and Bioshock 2 are re/announced and trailers are shown. Fable 2 and Gears 2 will be playable on the show floor. Release dates will be 2009 for all three
• Microsoft reveals 'new, 'innovative' motion sensing technology for the xbox 360.
• In conclusion - not a lot of new content for the 360, but a lot of statistic throwing and a talk on how this year they will 'conquer Japan'(like how they've been saying since 2001
