In celebration of the exclusively held  upcoming Game Developer's Conference, a few gamers came up with a list of their most popular gaming predictions, and why it's possible, or not for these to come true. While we may never know what'll actually happen, there are still reasons to think that these predictions will come true or not, based on observations and available hearsay.
  
Here's a list of what will most likely happen.
1. Microsoft will unveil the rumored black Xbox 360 with HDMI and a 120 GB hard drive.
2. Microsoft will unveil more details about the Halo 3 multiplayer beta.
3. Internet commentators will love Shigeru Miyamoto's keynote and hate Phil Harrison's.
4. Microsoft will announce a final release date for Halo 3.
5. Activision will reveal details about the Wii Guitar Hero.

A list of those that have a 50 percent chance of happening, follows.
1. Nintendo will announce spring 2008 release dates for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy.
2. Sony will emerge with a wave of support from the press based on its products and media outreach.
3. Sony will unveil more about Killzone 2.
4. David Jaffe will get hammered and reveal more God of War III secrets.

The following predictions, however, are the least likely to happen.
1. Microsoft reduces the price on the standard white Xbox 360s after unveiling the black model.
2. Sony will announce a price drop for the PlayStation 3.
3. Nintendo announces Wii with DVD release date for the U.S.
4. Blizzard announces Diablo 3 or StarCraft 2 for 2009.

The above list of predictions, of course, reflect the analysis of one group of gamers, but we never know: those least likely to happen could actually come true. Mind you, all of these predictions will be proven or not at the GDC. Till then, this makes for a nice list of speculations. What are your predictions?
