While everyone's thinking Microsoft's will be all about games, I still feel like a lot of the features they namedropped are ambiguous, specifically the 3 I mentioned I wanted to see more of in the Reveal thread (achievements, multiplayer servers, sharing). I think it's safe to say we'll see someone playing the next Infinity Ward and Bethesda games on stage. It seems the long-awaited Respawn title will be there, too, although it will be awkward having CoD and the CoD killer on the same stage.
Sony already showed off 5-6 launch titles, I think their PS4 games will be more "on the horizon" stuff, specifically the games Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, and Santa Monica are working on. I imagine they'll spend a little time on how they're keeping the PS3 going, since GT6 was just announced for it, and I suppose the Vita will get more stage other than the Remote Play features (which are now mandatory for all games). I really think Square's showing will just be Final Fantasy XIV's console version, since that was a Sony exclusive they've been playing up for a long time. I'm hoping Sony shows more of it's proposed Backwards Compatibility solution, which I'm assuming is what PlayStation Plus will be next-gen, the "Netflix of gaming," they hinted at.
But honestly, I truly am expecting Sony to lose all the good-will they've built up since the Xbox reveal. They're either going to have some trojan horse of Always-On, DRM, or both. They also might want to show off camera and voice features and multi-media functionality, as a result of some twisted excuse for logic.
Nintendo's real interesting. I know they won't have a press conference, but will they have booths? I think the Best Buy idea is really cool, and there's also a possibility they'll have at least some things downloadable, since they've been building up their online services pretty decent lately. If they let you play a demo version of Smash 4, they'll show that they're the company that actually is all about games, not just talking about them.
Kojima's Metal Gear demonstration will be insane.
Ubisoft better show and prove with Assassin's Creed 4, because this one might be the death of the series.
