May 3, 2006 E3 2006 is upon us, and there will be no shortage of hardware news at this year's show. There should be some solid info on Nintendo and Sony's next-gen consoles, the Wii and PlayStation 3, respectively. While we may not nail down official release dates and prices just yet, expect to see many games for each prospective platform in motion. The Xbox 360 has had a half year on the market without any competition, and Microsoft will come out with guns blazing to take back the attention of gamers, whether via new accessories (an affordable HD-DVD player) or blockbuster sequels (a Halo 3 trailer is rumored). On the handheld front, Nintendo should be lining up some big new titles for its forthcoming DS Lite, releasing in the United States on June 11. You can keep up with all the latest news on all these consoles and their respective games by visiting E3.CNET.com when the show starts on May 8. More resources
