Why would people without a high-end PC care about a game whose primary purpose and only revealed unique selling point is that it aims to show off high-end PC parts?

Microsoft: Definitely firmware announcements relating to further community functionality, likely focus is casual + Halo (obviously ODST and possibly Chronicles stuff), but with a good bit of other games sprinkled in. SOMETHING about Alan Wake is decently likely, and expect MW2 and Forza 3. ODST turns out to add more than just maps to Halo 3 multiplayer. Also, just like happens with every single Microsoft show ever, they'll focus for about five minutes on a third party multiplat title and show lots of awesome new stuff about it; GAF will be angry because it's not an exclusive so there's no reason to talk about it amirite. Possible price cuts for non-Arcade 360 SKUs? Something quite interesting from Lionhead but not as big as it got talked up to be. Potential surprises: Zune HD/WinMo/Pink gaming announcements because they want to move into the iPhone space. Something not even that useful to gamers done specifically to upset Sony fans in a hilarious fashion. Itagaki, sunglassier and grapefruit-skinnier than ever before, shows something early looking and badmouths Bayonetta during the show; GAF is torn apart.
Nintendo: Expecting a big DSi focus, and very very possibly a Virtual Console as others have mentioned - GB, GBA, NES, SNES all possible. Maybe even Genesis and/or Game Gear titles (lol gamegear). Big casual focus on Motion+ and forthcoming titles using it. Expect lots of sales talk. Video on demand service for North America. Something new from Square-Enix for the DS. More accessories announced, giving me a queasy feeling. Two or three pretty goddamn cool third party titles that sadly won't make a big difference. Fucking awesome Zelda Wii trailer at the end; even if Reggie had spent the previous 87 minutes literally spraying diarrhea out of his ass at the journalists, they will be delighted, as they should be, and so will GAF, because Zelda. However, in a hilarious twist, Nintendo will eventually pull a Twilight Princess on it with the Wii HD (we don't find out about this part at E3 '09) and gimp the regular Wii version somehow. Potential Surprises:Zelda, Mario, Icarus, Metroid all at once. Super Smash Brothers DSi. Nintendo buys Sony, Microsoft, and Apple. EviLore is found in his house a week later, his body smothered and shattered under a seven-ton pile of 500 errors.
Sony: Some kind of firmware update will be rumored before the show. Everyone will decide that it's PS2 BC, but it'll turn out to be cross-game voice chat; even though this ought to be something to be happy about, everyone will be disappointed. Also leading up to the show a $299 OR BUST consensus will form; if Sony doesn't cut the PS3's price to $299, SonyGAF will be very very sad. PSPGo! announcement; it looks pretty damn cool, but the reception to it will be determined largely by the price point. Huge focus on the fall, especially Uncharted and Heavy Rain. Good bit of focus on Crack in Time, and a fucking impressive look at God of War 3. MAG looks very ambitious and looks fairly fun but is accidentally blown out of the water by Uncharted 2. GT5 is shown and is an amazingly detailed and realistic and loving production, but no collisions are shown to let us know whether there is realistic damage modeling or not, because there isn't. Sony forgets that third parties even exist and doesn't show any third-party stuff. As usual, a two-minute PSP/PSN montage that gives only the barest, vaguest glimpse of games that we'll be pretty hyped up for nine months from now but will know nothing about for a long time. Starhawk looks awesome. DLC announced for Wipeout HD and Motorstorm 2. Lots of new PSP games. Katamari Tribute is shown. A new level pack or two for Little Big Planet. Some part of the presentation is given from within Home; everyone but Wollan glares at the stream angrily while this is happening. Trico is shown and is exquisitely beautiful and looks fucking amazing, but because it's more lonely and less epic than Shadow of the Colossus some will feel disappointed. Potential surprises: Not a surprise per se but $299 with BC would be a huge, huge deal. Twisted Metal PS3. An third-party exclusive that isn't Final Fantasy Versus 13. 3D gaming stuff. Sony talks about sales.
Also, the most exciting announcements/showings at the show turn out to come from third parties (Valve, Capcom, Platinum, and KojiPro).

I expect disappointment from at least one if not all three Big 3 conferences.
SE will take the stage during the Microsoft conference. Sony fanboy hearts will plummet, and Xbots will feel giddy enough to troll for the next year, but SE will only show off Front Mission, the new action game, and end with gameplay of FFXIII. Sony fanboys will collectively breathe a sigh of relief and continue caring about a game only because it's exclusive.
Microsoft will show the most games, including Splinter Cell, Mass Effect 2, Halo ODST, Halo Chronicles, and Alan Wake, but, in contrast to previous years, some of these will not release in 2009. They will also announce some exclusivity deals for a couple of upcoming, multiplatform games -- pick any two of the following: BioShock 2, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age, and a few more that I can't think of and probably aren't worth it. In the end, Microsoft's show will be boring, though, because they'll devote far too much time to IPTV, Xome, and casual shit. The 'hardcore' will wonder why the fuck Microsoft bothers to show shit like this at E3, but the mainstream press will pick up stories of Xome as some sort of genre-defining new application that takes the Miis they've already fallen in love with and puts them in a world together. Home-boys will bitch, most MMORPG players will laugh, but some of the latter -- mostly players of WoW -- will be bitter.
Nintendo will highlight one game for their 'core', but it will feature some on-rails-style gimmick. The Wii defense force will defend the game as if its something breathtaking and worthy of worship, but will still feel dead inside.
Sony will shock the world with the new PSP -- if by shock one means, "elicit a collective 'meh'." It won't be a phone, so the mainstream will continue worshipping the iPhone instead. The continuation of new game announcements for the PSP will keep drawing the attention of the 'hardcore', but it will continue to sell less than the DSi. Sony will make a couple of announcement we're all figuring: Starhawk is Warhawk in space; GoWIII coming March 2010; WKC coming to the west, treated as equal to FF; etc. The big announcement will be a price drop. But at the end of the Sony conference every PS3 owner worth a shit will feel profound shock and awe when a completely ambiguous, uninformative, 30-second trailer is shown of TrICO.

I'm currently going through MS's E3 06 conference and man, it's fucking amazing. First party title after first party title being announced, new accessories, HDDVD add-on, Live Anywhere (where are you?) and so much more.
Halo 3, Fable II, Forza 2, Viva Pinata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and GTA IV + exclusive DLC announced.
Please try your hardest to repeat E3 06, Microsoft w/ the megaton from the ending of your E3 08 conference and you'll have one hell of a conference. Hell, get Peter to be the speaker for the lolz.

Hmm...I own all the consoles (psp, ps3, ds, wii, 360), but I will have to say that the PS3 has the most interesting line up coming out. I still think it's too late to change anything at this point though...even a price cut will have come 2 years too late. Home is a fucking joke! You hear that Sony? A. FUCKING. JOKE! I'd rather they did some cross promotional thing with second life right from the beginning. Oh, and PSN > Xbox Live!
Wii is the worst goddamned console ever! A depressing lack of core games. I'm sorry, but Wii Fit, Punch-Out, a lack of decent RPGs, little to few mario and zelda games? I couldn't care less about the graphics, but when the game I've plopped the most time into is wii fucking sports, twilight princess, and mario galaxy, you guys got a problem on your hands. PS SCREW YOU Capcom for putting Monster Hunter on this...
360 doesn't have a lot of killer exclusives that I want to get, but when given a choice between a ps3 ver or a 360 ver, I get the 360 ver all the time. They have a surprisingly good number of RPGs and hopefully it'll continue to be the home of the new RPG lover.
DS has some interesting stuff coming out, and it seems like more innovation is being displayed here than on the Wii. Let's not forget DQ 9! It's going to be a massive juggernaut. I'm down for another Phoenix Wright and Ouendan someday too!
PSP has a lot of good games out for it. However, even Crisis Core, a prequel to every FF7 fan's wet dream couldn't help it. The rest of the RPGs on the PSP are trash. I rarely play anything on it these days except Monster Hunter. I should just call mine the PMHP (portable monster hunter player). I'm glad Unite is coming out, and I *want* the PSP to succeed, but Sony really lost a lot of momentum coming out of the gate. They should've just focused on the game aspects and completely drop those stupid UMD movies. There was a period of time in the PSP's life where I'd say they were down to Gamecube levels in terms of quality releases or games. Let's hope Square's support (Eve, Kingdom, FF) can save it.
In terms of core 3rd parties
Square Enix Eidos - Let's just get FF13 done and away with? At this point, we'll likely see only one FF on a game system instead of the usual 3. I don't see an announcement for FF 14 for a LOOOOOOOONG time.
Capcom - Best 3rd party developer this gen! I'll forgive MM9 as a cash grab because MvsC2 is coming! I'm very intrigued with their mystery games.
Konami - Instead of Konami, let's just call them Kojima...what the hell have they done this gen? They're like the Capcom of last gen! Aside from MGS4, I don't think I have a single Konami game in my collection this gen.
Namco - They've been kinda quiet. Tekken looks ok. I just hope they have something to show.
Sega - Dark horse! They're slowly rebuilding their image after the DC flop. I'm pleading to have Yakuza here. I'm saddened by Valkyria and hope Sega doesn't kill it. And I'm frothing to see Alpha Protocol.

Well, I look at the game and I think I'd like to play it. I don't think of it in terms of Intel's business plan, and I don't go specifically hunting through games for 'unique selling points'. I just have an impression of it, and it's positive. A bunch of people without Crysis-capable PCs, or without PCs at all, were interested in that game. It's a fantasy shooter, and it looks good - not just graphically, but in terms of its concept art.

It may been said already, but Halo Chronicles is "on hold," so I doubt we'll see any of that. But I wouldn't be surprised to see an entirely new Halo game that we weren't expecting.

E3 last year was great for the people actually there. Sure, the conferences sucked, but they pretty much always do.

Nintendo
Their conference is going to be about two things: the DSi and Wii Motion +.
This is going to be the first time we'll see some DSi-only games, and there may be some that are "enhanced" by the DSi. I expect Zelda: Spirit Trackers to be one of those games, and that NSMB 2 or some other big DS game is announced. Nintendo's been very quiet on the handheld front for a long time now, and this is where I imagine they've been concentrating. I also expect some new big nongame, like Nintendogs or Brain Training (maybe in place of something like NSMB 2), and outside of the conference, the announcement of smaller games or dates for smaller games.
Wii Sports Resort is going to be reintroduced as a showcase for Wii Motion +. There will also be a short video of Wii Fit Plus, and the announcement of one game that should appeal to the crazy internets fans (something with swordplay, but not Zelda- probably the new Retro game, if Retro's almost done). Outside of the conference, we'll finally get dates for stuff like Sin & Punishment 2 and Endless Ocean 2. People expecting a huge blowout of Nintendo games really don't know Nintendo. I predict that, because there are only one or two games that really appeal to GAF, the conference will be considered a failure and Nintendo has abandoned them. Sometime in October, Nintendo will reveal Pikmin 3 and several other hardcore games that will appeal to them, and all will be forgiven (until E310).
Sony
Their conference is going to mainly be about the PSP Go/4000/Slide/Whatever and feature a lot of the games we already know about. We should hear about Ready at Dawn's new game, LBP PSP, and most likely a few others. On the PS3 side, we'll see trailers and a big focus on Heavy Rain, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, MAG, Starhawk, Uncharted 2, and big presentations for God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, and Twisted Metal (or some other previously unannounced new game).
SonyGAF is gonna go into full-out fanboy mode (obviously), claiming this to be the best conference of the three, despite few new announcements, because Sony focused on games (and, personally, I think this will be the best, even though Naughty Dog is trash and I have no interest in God of War or Gran Turismo). There's also going to be a big ol' bitchfest about the new PSP if it doesn't have UMD support.
Microsoft
They're the real wildcard this year, mostly because, unlike Nintendo and Sony, they don't actually have anything that we know about except for Alan Wake and Halo ODST. So we'll finally see some Alan Wake stuff, Halo ODST, and several new games. One or two Rare games will be shown off. MS will also focus a portion of their conference on some third party exclusive content. Afterward, they'll move on to some nongaming and casual stuff you can do on the 360, extensions of current services and whatnot.
Because this is likely to have the most new announcements, I think GAF will be all over this one the most, much to the bitterness of the Sony fanbase here. Meanwhile, Nintendo fans will be jumping in the background, waving their arms in the air, trying to convince everyone else that Nintendo's E3 wasn't really that bad.
UbiSoft
Another Beyond Good & Evil 2 teaser. Just a little taste. Rabbids Go Home is still the main focus, and we'll get a big ol' blowout on this, as well as Red Steel 2 and the latest Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed.
Valve
We'll finally see a bit of Half-Life 2: Episode 3, but it's going to be scheduled sometime in 2010 (but before next E3).
Sega
They'll bring us food, and Skies of Arcadia 2, and smite our enemies!

No, FFXIII it´s FFXIII, it´s inevitable and a key game in SE business, Kitase is the producer, just as he was the producer of X or the director of FF VI and he will adapt to the business plan of the company because that's his role.
Versus it´s mostly an experiment, and the first game Nomura has full control over it from the beginning, so they will let Nomura run it as he wants it. And, in any case, I don't think MS is that interested in getting it once they have FF XIII.
However, we have discussed already other arguments aside of the Nomura factor, the main one is that if it was multi we would know already, instead we still see clear messages from SE that the game is PS3 only. Versus won't be multi, just wait and see.

To be honest if SO4 can be 360 only, then Versus could easily just be for ps3...it will probably sell infinitely better than that game as well... either way I don't really care if it goes multiplat...as long as it looks as good or better on ps3. It won't go multiplat though. Otherwise their wording would be less definitive following ffxiii multiplat. Personally, If I was an ff fan I would have bought a ps3... I am and I did...blah

Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo PSP as the centrepiece. Some new games announced (Ico, Syphon Filter PS3), PS3 price drop, new PSP. Thats all i can wish for.
