- Ooooh...Microsoft could really dent Sony with a new Halo 3 trailer, something insanely epic like 15 minutes long, heh.
Wow, I'd never thought I'd see the day where it's make or break for Sony, haha, and to think that was Nintendo's position only a few months back! Ha! Funny how the tables turn with only a few bad months PR after 11 whole years of domintation. Ehh, guess that's the way the cookie crumbles! -

- Indeed, but I wasn't overly impressed by the Halo trailer at E3, infact, I'd go as far as saying it was more of a let down than the whole Playstation Conference, and that is saying something.
I think that Sony will come out on top after this exhibition though. Not sure how, but I'm sure they will. -

well in a way they will have to because Nintendo actually gained momentum after E3 and I don't think people are feeling the same doom and gloom with the Wii that they are feeling about the PS3. doesn't mean the ps3 won't be a success, but I do think they'll have to find some way to motivate the people after the early adopters to buy the console for $5-600
shocked you didn't like the halo trailer though. yes i'll admit it basically showed very little i just liked it for what it implied and the possibility of a covenant conquered Earth. -

- ya cause we all know that the halo trailer will be so much better than the new MGS4 trailer coming out. </Sarcasm>
Each System has its own + and -. to blindly say that one console is gonna fail because of a game on another system is ludicrous. When will be people realize that other people dont care that they prefer one so much that they would want the system to have their babies?

- Yeah Sony has had a few bad months of bad PR, only because everything has been exaggerated and speculated. However Sony still has a good rep, maybe not for you as it seems, but I'm sure PS3 will sell out and still do good into the future. And they will come out with a good gaming ?whatever platform.
It is make or break time for Sony and their third party developers with this show one of the last times to showcase what the PS3 is all about and what we can all be expecting when it hits our shelves in November. Sony will no doubt be bringing out the big names again at this exhibition, and probably the biggest name of them all is Snake, no, not the incredibly terrible movies on show at the cinema, but Solid Snake and chums from the Metal Gear series. Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind Metal Gear will hopefully be showcasing some more glimpses from Sony’s flagship title.
Other big names no doubt making an appearance will include Squaresoft’s Final Fantasy XIII, and the impressive looking Resistance: Fall of Man, which many believed stole the show at E3 with its fresh new FPS concept and compelling story trailer.
In the other park Gamespot would lead us to believe that Microsoft and Nintendo will be taking a back seat at TGS. Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 will be on show, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to some beautiful trailers coming from FIFA that are circling the net.
Nintendo and their third party developers are being their usual selves and are as tight lipped as usual, so Gamespot has only mentioned Red Steel, which will be a unique FPS experience, and Trauma Centre: Second Opinion which follows on from where the DS left off, cutting people up as a doctor using your Wiimote.
But the excitement will be found during the press conferences where it is anyone’s guess what announcements will be made, will Nintendo announce the Wii launch date? Will Microsoft spoil the show with a mention of Halo, and will Sony fit a few more hundred ducks in a bath. Come back in three weeks time to find out.
