It seems Sony wants to get ahead of the competition. They will also be holding their press conference the day before E3, on June 6, and they'll be showing off their upcoming system.

The strong focus of Sony's E3 presence this year will be their new portable platform, codenamed Next Generation Portable (NGP). The NGP will see important upgrades over the PSP, sporting dual-analog sticks, a higher resolution touch screen, and a stronger graphics processor. A strong line-up for the handheld has already been announced, with Uncharted Portable leading the pack. Other anticipated titles include new entries in the LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, Resistance, and Call of Duty franchises.

On the console front, Sony is expected to announce new software for the Playstation 3, as well as show new footage of games in beloved series like Uncharted 3, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Resistance 3. A reboot of Twisted Metal, revealed back in 2008, will be shown off, and the highly anticipated The Last Guardian will be finally be playable to E3 attendants.
