Team Knack/Puppeteer = Team Gravity Daze 2/The Last Guardian.
Ueda's interview 2 years ago highly hinted that the studio at that point of time, was focused on the production of two games, which was Knack/Puppeteer. My guess is that the same thing is happening this time round, where the core teams who did Puppeteer and Knack are probably in early pre-production, while resources are pooled towards the games that are past pre-production.

I've got to be honest, I always forget about TTC. I think it looks amazing though; I wonder when they're expecting to release. I think they've already had at least one private beta.
That's because GG was already working on the new game way before KZ3 got released, possibly aiming for PS3 at the time (my speculation), with a team consisting of some of the KZ2 leads.
Yeah, the other JRPG will be whatever Level 5 is working on. I expect a new IP. Ni No Kuni didn't do well enough.
I have to say my excitement for it kinda got killed by me not having fun with the Alpha...

You're wrong. A new IP and one that is a JRPG selling over 1.3 million in the west is a big success.
All right, let's do this:
Naugthy Dog:
-Uncharted 4 is a given, but I'll be curious to see what they'll show. I expect a more set piece focused demo since PSX was a normal level, although I would prefer it if the set pieces weren't revealed before the game was out.
-Uncharted Trilogy seems likely. If it happens, it will be done by an outside studio
-People expecting The Last of Us 2 will be highly disappointed. The only Last of Us news we could get is a movie update.
Sucker Punch:
-I wouldn't expect to see them here. They could very well have a game that could be ready next year, but there are other studios who have had more time, and I'm expecting Sucker Punch to release their next game in 2017. I also don't think that they will make another inFAMOUS game.
Media Molecule:
-Will absolutely be there with there new IP. The game might launch later this year, but it will probably be early next year.
-Trailer and release date for Tearaway Unfolded. I'm guessing an August release.
San Diego:
-I don't think any of their games are big enough to take stage time. Drawn to Death might be the exception, but that's just because David Jaffee is behind it.
-A Killstrain Beta announcement with a short trailer is possible, but I would just expect floor demos and highlight reels for this game.
-They never talk about MLB at E3.
Evolution:
-No way they show up. You don't bring them out to talk about more content for their game that got delayed a year, got average reviews, was broken at launch, and still has a PS+ version that hasn't launched. The only thing they could do that would be big enough for E3 is give away the entire game on PS+, and I don't think that will happen.
Santa Monica:
-God of War CG trailer is probable but not definite. If shown, it will probably be given a late 2016 release date. However, Sony might save God of War and let Uncharted/Horizon headline 2016.
-Santa Monica produced games like Edith Finch will probably show up in some fashion
Guerrilla:
-If God of War and The Last Guardian don't show, Horizon will probably be the headliner. Expecting a fall 2016 release date. Probably more than a CG trailer, but they could so CG at E3 and then gameplay at Gamescom or PSX
Cambridge:
-I don't expect them to show up just because of time constraints.
-I think a Killzone reveal at Gamescom (either PS4 or Vita) is likely for them
Polyphony:
-I'm about 50/50 on GT7 being there. It's obviously in development, but I'm not expecting it to release next year. Could be a Gamescom (big European audience) or E3 2016 game.
Japan Studio:
-Bloodborne DLC. Sony probably wants to mention Bloodborne as much as they can.
-Gravity Rush 2 will probably be held for TGS
-Gravity Rush Remastered could be announced. If so, I think it makes Gravity Rush 2 showing up more likely
-The Last Guardian? I don't know at this point
Bend:
-I don't know about Bend. They are probably ready to show their game, but I don't know if Sony needs it. MM, GG, PD, SM, and Bend are the studios that could announce new games, and Bend's would probably be the smallest and therefore the most likely held for Gamescom/PSX.
London:
-If Sony shows Morpheus, they will have demos. If Sony doesn't show Morpheus, they will have floor demos.
Naugthy Dog:
-Uncharted 4 is a given, but I'll be curious to see what they'll show. I expect a more set piece focused demo since PSX was a normal level, although I would prefer it if the set pieces weren't revealed before the game was out.
-Uncharted Trilogy seems likely. If it happens, it will be done by an outside studio

So Verendus has hinted at Sly 5 being in development, but Sanzaru announced late last year that they weren't developing it. Who else could it be? Is it a new developer taking over or is Sucker Punch pulling a Naughty Dog having a surprise 2nd team developing?
Also, it is almost certain that Level-5 is unveiling their PS4 JRPG at E3. I wonder if the other JRPG is internally developed or externally developed by a 3rd party developer. I seem to recall during a PAX panel last year that Sakaguchi answered one of the fan's questions about developing a sequel to The Last Story teasing a "maybe" for the PS4 showing his interest to develop on the console. I wonder if Sony has approached Mistwalker on developing a game for the PS4.

Well, a large number of staff were let go after Second Son shipped (I seem to recall 30+ staff from a studio of ~80), so I really doubt they've got the capacity for two teams. I'd love them to try something different (and a new Sly game from them would be great), but I have a feeling they're locked into Infamous games for a while.

I would love to see the Gooch return to mainline console development, whether that's with Sony or MS or whoever.
Yes, but I suppose some people expect it's a red herring and the next GoW will show up.
Gods be good it would be lovely. Hopefully ironing out the few faults with the first game. And maybe this time I'll not be a dick and buy the special edition with a wizard book D:

More likely to popup at TGS like it did last year.
Since everyone has their own wishlist, I'll make mine:
Gran Turismo PS4
The Last Guardian
Guerilla Game's Hybrid Project
Street Fighter V (Fuck You Ken Edition)
New Media Molecule IP
JRPG #1
JRPG #2
JRPG #3
JRPG #4
JRPG #5
New Sly
New Crash Bandicoot
New Sony Mascot Fighter
New Shadow Hearts
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XVI
Kingdom Hearts 3
Final Fantasy spin-off RPG
New SE console RPG IP
Final Fantasy X spin-off
FF7 remake
FF7 spin-off
FF6 remake
Square Enix crossover game
Dragon Quest XI
New Parasite Eve
Monster Hunter PS4
DMC5
New Capcom TPS IP (Because we need more TPS)
New EA IP
New Ubisoft IP
New Prince of Persia
New Naval RPG
New Cyberpunk Action/Adventure/RPG IP
New Sega Action/Adventure IP
New Marvel Action/Adventure title
New Soul Calibur
New Rockstar IP
I think that covers most of what I desire. I'm not asking for much really. If anything, I'm probably more sensible than most, because I'm not asking for Shenmue 3. If even half of this can be announced at E3, I won't call it crap. I'm reasonable like that.
Edit:
Oh, and Ken is a valuable part of the Street Fighter legacy, and community. He helps people relate to the struggles of wearing red. He also has looks which make women envious, since he's so pretty. He would make a great wife, especially with all those skills of his, because you'd never have to worry about being robbed or anything like that.
Thank you, Ken.

Safe bets:
Naughty Dog (Uncharted 4/Trilogy Remaster)
Sony Japan (TLG/Gravity Rush/Gran Turismo/JRPG). I'm not saying we should expect them all but at least one of them will be there.
Insomniac (Ratchet reboot) - if they still targeting 2015 as release date they must be there.
Maybe:
MM (New IP) - either E3 or Gamescom
Quantic Dream (New IP) - same as MM
Guerrilla (Horizon) - Depends if they will be ready.
Santa Monica (God of War) - Said earlier that they will not be at E3 because they still early in development and we should expect more from them at PSX in December. Still if MS will show some huge exclusives Sony might need to counter that.
Bend (Open world horror game?) and Guerrilla Cambridge (Killzone? Resistance?)
London Studio (Morpheus) - shelf of former self once creators of ambitious games like The Getaway now stuck with making demos for various PS add-on's. Would suit in PSX more.
0% chance to show up:
Sucker Punch
Evolution - not sure what's left from that studio after Sony's firing spree.

Imagine if Sakaguchi were to come to the Sony stage, only to unveil that he is working in collaboration with Square on a Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4.
You know what. I totally agree with your analysis. It sounds probable and is not far fetched.
Or on a new Chrono game @_@

I'd take just half of your list and call it a day.
Edit: Joking aside, I expect Sony's E3 presence to be focused on third-parties more so this time around. Gamescom/TGS/PSX for the first-party stuff.

If a remake was happening, I don't see why they'd bother porting the PC version. Also, I feel like I'm back in 2005 again
1.3 million in the west? Really? That's awesome.
Just those four and I'll die happy.
I wonder if WB has something to tease or show besides Bats and Mad Max... like y'know, Suicide Squad? I doubt it tho.
Uncharted will probably have some live gameplay or another trailer, same goes for Until Dawn. TLG will close the conference. GG's Robo-Dino-RPG would be amazing to see, but if they decide to it's probably just a CG trailer with Gameplay at Gamescom or something like that. My guess is 2 new IPs announced, and then we will get updates and trailers for stuff we already know, maybe a remaster thrown in there. I'm not counting downloadable Games for the new IPs by the way. Man, E3 can't come soon enough.

E3 is not the time for " megatons "
expect nothing!
to be honest they have so many announced games already they could fill a whole show just showing the latest builds of everything
So Media Molecule's game is soon, but what is soon?

I'm very curious what Guerilla is up to.
And I'd like to see an update on Everquest Next, assuming it wasn't canned.

You forgot Knack 2: Electric Knackaloo, list invalidated.
Forget private beta, they had a public alpha. Supposedly the game is coming in 2015, but I wouldn't mind if they took a lot of feedback from the alpha and worked out some stuff.
How could you forget Shenmue 3?
I have to think about things realistically.

Doesn't a Sony insider say that for every single event?
Maybe not word for word but since I've read gaf, there's always some Sony insider that hypes people up with what they say and as soon as the event is over people get pissy that they overhyped it. Then 2 months later, the same exact same thing happens.I'll be cautiously optimistic, but I'll step away from listening to Sony insiders for hype
other than Verendus' jRPG Japan Studio game, don't disappoint me.

You're in luck (kind of): Monster Hunter Frontier Online 2 in development for PS4, PC
And what the hell does "Square Enix crossover game" even mean?
You're reading too much into their comment.
In terms of new stuff I expect Quantic Dream, MM (VR) and London (VR) and perhaps some smaller titles.
Then we'll most likely have updates from Naughty Dog, Insomniac, MM Tearaway, Until Dawn, Evolution Driveclub Plus Apology, Japan Bloodborne DLC, Tequila (Rime) and some other smaller projects.

Good list, if a little restrained. I'll be upset if that's all Sony brings. I hope for:
- Alundra HD Remaster
- Alundra: The Fallen Throne (2D game like the original)
- Drakan: The Ancient's Gates HD
- Drakan: The Mirror Prison
- Black HD
- Black 2
- TimeSplitters Respawn
- Dark Cloud: Champions of Time
- Ape Escape (complete re-imagining of the first game)
- Crysis Collection (first game, Warhead, 2 and 3 -- ports of the PC versions)
- PlayStation All-Stars Round 2: Electric Boogaloo (2D fighter developed in conjunction by SNK and Capcom)
- Sly Cooper: Takes One to Know One
- Uncharted 4
- God of War IV: Ragnarok
- Killzone: Midnight Echo (a lot more emphasis on stealth and varied playstyles; taking some cues from Deus Ex: HR)
- Savage Starlight (think Mass Effect crossed with Firefly)
- Vanquish 2
- Heavenly Sword 2
- The Getaway: добро пожаловать в москву
- Eight Days
- Pariah (revival of old forgotten FPS from Digital Extremes, with them on development again)
- New FPS from Human Head called 'Enforcer' about a bounty hunter in an alien city
- Two major new RPGs: one from Mistwalker and one from Japan Studios. One is set in the far future and the other more of a steampunk world with airships and windmills and primitive technology a la FFIX
- Sony Bend's horror game
- Horizon from Guerrilla Games
- Everybody's Gone to the Rapture releasing in early June
- Rime releasing in late June
- Alienation releasing in early July
- The Tomorrow Children releasing in late July
- Wild releasing in December and it looks amazing
- 3x Bloodborne DLC episodes confirmed. The first available after Sony's conference ends
- Sucker Punch are developing the next Spider-Man game
- MotorStorm DLC for Driveclub
- The Order: 1888 confirmed to be in development. RAD targeting a late 2017 release, incorporating a lot of feedback from the first game and will be making it less linear and less about gunfights against humans
- A new game from Drinkbox
- A new game from Platinum
- Sony is funding Dragon's Dogma 2 for PS4, and it will release later on PC. Using the same engine as Deep Down and it looks amazing
- Sony announces they have acquired the IP for Turok and will be developing an original game with Starbreeze
Along with all of the suggestions above, I think that would just about satisfy me. Just about.

Your list has been invalidated.
I swear the COD marketing rumor pops up every year and it's always bullshit. It seems especially unlikely this year given how hard Sony is reportedly going with Battlefront marketing.
On topic, it's always hard to guess with Sony because they do such a good job of spreading out game announcements between E3, Gamescom, TGS, and now PSX. Personally I'm excited to see whatever Quantic Dream is doing. I feel like they should have something to show by now.
