Any solid information on what we can expect yet or not (Mario 128 perhaps)? Also, when is it?

Indeed. So ... damage limitation?

But if Sony show something, and Ninty don't: there's your damage.

Well, they could. But it would be stupid vis-a-vis Zelda and no proper games yet, and I'd rather they didn't.
Why is MS doing so, anyway? I never really got that.

I'm thinking they'll try and show as much as possible.
They know how to get casual gamers excited.

But isn't, and probably won't.

And they'll have had a year to hype up those casuals some more (i.e. what they do best) while Ninty will ... what? ... show absolutely nothing of the console until 6 months before launch?
Mario 360 ;)
I actually own one of those.

Who said anything about doing nothing? By all means, show some nice Cube games to sink our teeth into, but focusing on the Cube over the Revolution would just be stupid. I know what me and 99% of other Nintendo fans are more interested to see at this years E3.
