What Can We Expect From Sony in E3 2014?

It seem like Sony's PS4 main objective at E3 2013 was to launch an all out attack on Microsoft's Xbox One. Besides the $100 price gap between consoles, Sony strongly stated that it's main focus is gaming which appealed to the hardcore gamer while Microsoft's promoted the use of their console for a wide range of entertainment purpose negatively affected its customer base. The restriction on trading and reselling of games didn't offer any help in Microsoft's favour not to mention the lack of power of the hardware. It was clear that Sony had all bases covered and Microsoft was not prepared for the attack it was about to experience. 


To me their goal was to sell more consoles over its competitor which was achieved with PS4 recording over 6 million consoles sold while Xbox One only sold around 4 million. A great victory by any measure. Now what can we look forward to in E3 2014? To me, this year is all about the games. So far in my opinion, all Next Gen consoles fell short when providing games that offer a new experience which is what was and is expected from new consoles and now we are impatiently waiting to witness at this E3 to see something new, something that would blow us away that would give us hope for the not so visible future.
