E3 2009 will be held during the first week of June, and in a hot-off-the-presses press release from organizers at the ESA, the big three console makers have expressed their delight at the prospect of the upcoming show.
Over 150 companies are slated to exhibit at the show, but of all those firms, the biggest and most anticipated announcements will be from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

Microsoft:
“Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment," said Don Mattrick, senior vice president for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft.
