E3 2014

Well, it's May and we're now just over a month away from E3 2014.



Last year's E3 was huge. After a generation that went on too long and months of rumors and teasing, fresh, next-generation consoles were finally fully revealed to public. As huge as last year was though, this year stands to be even bigger; While E3 2013 was hardware-focused, this year will be all about the games.







The Players



Microsoft

From their unpopular DRM policies and their subsequent reversal, to the mandatory Kinect integration, the Xbox One has a had an undeniably rocky start. Microsoft has done a lot to correct their course, and they've pledged that their press conference this year will be heavily game-focused, but will it be enough to win over the fence-sitters? Could we see a Kinectless SKU announced?





Nintendo

The sales for the Wii U have been abysmal, however as per usual, Nintendo has been cranking out incredible games and rewarding their most stalwart fans. They all but no-showed last E3, but this is a new year, a new E3, and a new opportunity to make up some lost ground. Is there anything at all they can do or say at E3 to save the Wii U? Might they swap out the Wii U GamePad with a Pro Controller so they can lower the price?





Sony

Sony is riding high after stealing the show last E3, winning the hearts and minds of gamers everywhere, which lead to record-breaking sales of the Playstation 4. However, people have rightly critized them for their lack of software support. Will Sony unveil a plethora of new, exciting games to go along with their new hardware? Or will the Playstation 4 become all sizzle and no steak?



What say you? What are your predicitions for E3 2014? What are you excited to see?
