They already announced a 1st party MMO for ps3. The Agency by Sony Online Entertainment [UE3]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Agency_(video_game)
A couple of predictions..I pointedly avoiding a wishlist as you all should do 
- Sony will start uttering the words "Home" and "2008" in the same sentence, but reaffirm 07 'open' beta plans
- Sony will show new Home features, and some real game spaces for the first time.
- DS3 will be announced with a couple of small tweaks beyond rumble
- No new PS3 SKU announcement (if it's going to happen this year, I think it'll happen later, Oct/Nov)
- Hirai's keynote will have a utterly different tone to Kutaragi's, and he'll stamp his own character all over the presented SCE strategy.
- No Team Ico, yet.
- As for 360 and Wii, it's hard to predict much with the 360 presser out of the way, and with Nintendo not attending, but as far as third parties go across all platforms, I expect some pleasant surprises (ala Yakuza 3 last week) and some dross. I expect we'll have seen many of the bigger announcements already before the show though (really, 'TGS' began with last week's Famitsu).

Project Offset named and trailered - a proper trailer, not an ancient draft that someone found and leaked. Hopefully, the reportedly extreme angst over that leak was due to the fact that they mean to do something here. Viral failed, so just drop the goddamn towel. It has to happen sometime.

I agree with all of these. I'm sure there will be at least one 'megaton' announcement.

Heh, like I edited in the above post, really TGS in the broader sense started with last week's Famitsu (and I'm sure we'll see more again when this week's Famitsu hits the web). I'm always surprised by how some people are so insistent in judging a show only by the official days or conferences of the show, judging them to be 'unsurprising' because stuff got out, leaked or otherwise, in the preceding days. People should judge the show based on what we've seen from last week, up through the end of the show itself. It's a better way to look at it, IMO, when quite often we largely know what's going to come out of conferences and shows before they even start.

So WKS from level 5 in the end could be Similar to that true fantasy game that was suppose to be on xbox (as far as mechanics)?

You could have summed up that with: I expect a boring disappointment

A new controller isn't a prediction but a fact as the CEO of Immersion stated that they will begin distributing this month. Unless you think he is a lieing scumbag, it's true. Read this http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6385&Itemid=2
Okay, the CEO didn't say it but it's on this site http://immr.client.shareholder.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=253387

All I want from the show floor is substantial new FFXIII footage, my real wish is for the playable MGS4 demo to show up on PSN. Hey, a man can dream.
edit: Oh and at least one of Team ICO's games should be there. My prediction is a teaser for the follow-up to Colossus and a lot of info on a new PSN/PSP title.
