If MS doesn't win E3 then Xbox 360 will be in trouble.
My other prediction is that there will be bannings :lol

MS all the way, bub. Sony second...unless Revolution hits with the force of N64 ala E3 '96...where I was glued to a demo kiosk of Mario 64, beating away journos and annoying suits alike with a stick the entire first day...

I think MS will win, can't wait to see Gear of War, maybe Mistwalker RPG's and other heavy duty stuff.
Second Square Enix, if they show FFXII and give us release dates for games they have released in Japan.
Don't care about Nin10do and Sony seems to be in trouble.
edit: can't wait to see some killer PSP software, still not sold on the system, hopefully this will change after E3.

Management troubles, they did cancel the March unveiling after all. Even if they show PS3 in May; it's games probably wonÂ’t be as good as the Xbox 2 stuff because Xbox 360Â’s games are further in development cycle IMO.

Sony & Nintendo will be showing at most tech demo's and then relying on current stuff.
I can't imagine MS showing next gen games and exclusive content and not "winning".

I think MS will have the momentum, having the most complete 'next gen' system up and running- so it's their show to lose. I have no doubts Sony will have a very strong showing, just to try to combat MS, but as far as a huge PS3 explosion, I wouldn't expect that until maybe TGS. E3-2006 will be the E3 of PS3, full-force, I have no doubts. Hopefully there will be just enough PS3 goodness to ramp up the excitement this year. A strong PS2 holiday line-up and further hyping/showcasing of PSP won't hurt them either. 
Once again, Nintendo seems like the dark horse. Any new DS games will naturally be compared, albeit similar or not, to new PSP games due to the handheld vs. handheld. I don't expect much Revolution stuff (although I'd love to be wrong on this) and I can see the Big N using ZELDA as their 'show stopper' for this E3... but will it be enough in the shadow of Sony and MS?
Although many of us will most likely disagree in this topic, I'm sure all of us can agree this E3 will be one for the ages. Exciting times...

In terms of critical reception.....all 3 will generate positive press, I think, so everyone will be a "winner". Who will generate the most positive press? That's always difficult to determine.
MS will be more noticeable, though..I mean their coverage will be broader (more pages in magazines etc.). But then it has to be.
Moving away from who will "win"..
1) I expect a return of "screenshot wars" - you know we're going to be debating the relative merits of first PS3/X360/Revolution media. It's a pre-nextgen tradition.
2) Similar to above, we'll see heated technical debates.
3) The word "gimmick" will be overused in relation to Nintendo's next gen console. In fact, for some here anything next-gen Nintendo will be regarded as "gimmicky" no matter WHAT they show at E3 (they could show god's gift to gaming interfaces, for example, and I'm sure significant portions of GAF would write it off immediately
).
I'll add more as I think of them..

I'm excited about all the PSP announcements. The E3 following a system's launch is always the big software explosion, so I'm hoping for some nifty surprises. It'll be interesting to see how many developers actually make good use of the DS hardware, I'm not that confident, but I'd love to be wrong.

What is a bannable offense around E3? This will be my first E3 at this forum so I would like to stay out of trouble; if possible.
I think with the most concrete, next-gen games on display, it will be tough for MS to not "win" E3.
PSP desperately needs a slew of new games, imo, since the upcoming release list for it looks dire in comparison to the DS's, so I'd say it's the system with the most to lose, especially after the launch wasn't the sellout some were expecting.

I predict that Nintendo will again get its butt spanked by Sony and MS then Nintendo fans will proclaim a massive victory by Nintendo.

PSP will be a runner up only because it is so sexy, and nothing to do with e3 really.
ya, holy shit that sucked, fucking powerpoint. Nin10do's PC was really good though.

Nintendo has the biggest floorplan. COULD THIS MEAN A HUGE REVOLUTION!?"

I think Microsoft will steal the show as far as the next gen is concerned because they will have a lot of playable games for Xbox360 to talk about while Sony and Nintendo next gen systems will be at a tech demo level since they're coming out next year.
Anyway I think Sony will have the most complete show.They still have a really strong PS2 lineup to show with maybe even a few new surprises,they have to unveil ALL the PSP future games with the first REAL killer applications.And of course with the PS3 and its tech demos they will amaze everyone even more than with Xenon first gen games.
