Now that the press conferences, surprise announcements, and behind-closed-doors sessions of E3 have come and gone, it's time to revisit the predictions made by the Bitmob staff and community before the show started. Who was right? Who was wrong? Who was so eerily prescient they could have a future career as an informercial psychic? Let's find out!

Rather than go through the whole rigmarole of a prediction post, I figured I would highlight the news we are sure to not see coming out of this year's Expo. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
