Will we see the introduction of a new XBOX despite their denials of such a rumor? Will Sony hint at a development of the next PlayStation? Will Nintendo show actual 3rd party games running on the WiiU? All these and other questions will be answered next month as the pre-E3 conferences from the Big 3 take place starting June 4th. The actual dates are as follows:

• Microsoft, Monday June 4th at 10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EST
• Sony, Monday June 4th at 6 pm PDT/9 pm EST
• Nintendo, Tuesday June 5th at 9:00 am PDT/12:00 pm EST

Microsoft and Sony plan to live stream their conferences on their respective consoles as well as through other media outlets (SpikeTV will air the XBOX conference, Sony plans to stream it live online). No word yet on how Nintendo will deliver their conference. We will be watching  and possibly live commenting during the conferences. We’ll keep you posted with the definitive details as E3 draws closer.
