Lante's Predictions:
Well I know the pundits have already eliminated much of the hopes and dreams of gamers out there but this is my wish-list regardles. And it's Playstaton only! Sorry to you other fanboys out there.
1. SOME sort of look into the future of the PlayStation. If not the PS4 in the form of graphics and possibility of multiplayer gaming then rather show us some new and jaw-dropping accessories and easier accessibility. 

1.1 Hardware that will compliment the gaming experience, particularly local/LAN gaming, case example, the recent 3d display w/ goggles that allows multiple users separate game time on one screen, showcased in last year's E3.  1.2 Software that will make it easier for gamers to connect and share experiences. Heard of Sony's cloud gaming project. I see capital gains at the forefront of that endeavor. What i would love to see is PlayStation Home revitalization. The PS Home, at it's core, could be used to control and connect gamers in ways only our kids will understand. Full of fantastic opportunities.   2. Games...lots and lots of stunning games with lots and lots of "i cant believe what im seeing" moments please. It's 2012. Stop slowing down the inevitable, we aren't getting any younger and here's the PS's chance to take over the industry. They're already ahead hardware wise. Let's see some exclusives that will make other fanboys wanna smash their machines. 3. Plenty of cross platform emphasis between PS3 and Vita. In fact i'm sure the Vita will headline a chunk of the PS segment overall. 4. Hailstorm of PSN content and external services that should be more attractive than they are at the moment. With access to these services outside of the US. (I hate it when i see that this service is only accessible in the US). Better options and bonuses for  PlayStation Plus subscribers :)
Aske's Predictions: 1. Rockstar will hopefully give us some more info on GTAV, possibly a release date. 2. Microsoft will possibly show us teh new Xbox models and maybe either a redesign of kinect or a new version. 3. A release date on the Wii U from Nintendo. 4. A possible lowering in price on the PS Vita by Sony and, new games for the Vita. 5. A possible announcement on Half Life 3 Myles' Predictions: 1. GTA V trailer/details
2. Big new 3DS game (new Zelda maybe)
3. Wii U release date & price
4. PS Vita Price drop and big new game reveals
