out of the big 3 i think sony is going to win unless nintendo throw a major curve ball (by which i mean a big watchdogs type announcement...no one saw it coming and its debut was awesome). the momentum is certainly behind them and they have yet to deploy any of their big guns. this will also be the year we see the major graphical jump from the PS3/360 to the PS4/X1 and that jump is going to be that bit bigger for the PS4. dont expect anything on the vita front though.
zelda wiiu will be announced but its not going to look like many are hoping it will look (i.e. the tech demo. not going to happen. its still going to look awesome though.). it will also be built with the wiimnote and nunchuck in mind. breaking with tradition nintendo is also going to show games that wont be released for quite some time with a focus on games with the potential to build hype. some games we wont even see until Q4 2015. they know they have to show something.
with the dropping of kinect we may see a renewed focus on games from MS this year. the focus will remain on a few first party titles backed by exclusive and timed exclsuive 3rd party content though. dont expect any major surprises.
overall though i think, and i know it may sound mad, but i think itll be EA that take it this year. they have had a rough 12 months and they really need to reassure gamers that all is well. they will have the new dragon age, battlefield and mass effect on display of course but i suspect they are also going to have a pleasent surprise.
