Sometimes you just have got to know what the worst possible situation is. Here is is for MS. While I can't complete the list by myself, I feel like these are some key things, all of which are confirmed. obviously we know we'll see some thigns so its not worth mentioning, but here are some of the more key things. I'm not listing rumors, even if they feel strong, like the Xbox 360 Motion Camera.
1). Halo 3: ODST will show real live gameplay
-----> proof: According to sessler's latest soapbox, he will be doing a live demo with Bungie where they'll just be showing straight up live gameplay, presumably with an interview during the same time http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/tag/172/Sesslers_Soapbox.html
2). Lionhead will reveal their next game
---> proof: keep in mind that I mean reveal, not necessarily show it off. http://www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/rumor-control/909119209/26857161/lionhead-showing-new-ip-at-e3.html
there's also a video on that site where Peter M straight up says he'll show it off at E3.
3). Recently acquired BigPark will reveal their next game.
Proof: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/07/bigpark-ceo-xbox-360-exclusive-will-broaden-audience-be-playab/
4). Forza 3
----> do I really need proof? They sort of announced it at that european event essentially.
5). Rare will unveil at least one new game
---> proof: http://www.rareware.com/extras/scribes/15may09/index.html
So that's pretty much the concrete. I'd consider the motion camera to be as well, but there's no true proof for that. Considering the rumors about the wand last year, even though I do feel it'll happen, I'm hesitant to say it's definately going to happen.
Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Microsoft's E3-- What we know confirmed
Lionhead, lots and lots of big talk, then they cut everything out to fit it on the disk. Rare, I hope its something good.
Yeah, Rare will announce Perfect Dark for XBLA and thats it lol

That and the fact Rare doesn't do the ports
Yeah, regardless of whether there are no suprises (which there will be) Microsoft will have a really good E3 conference.
You're forgetting the biggest thing Microsoft is bring to the table this year: this.
From Twitter:
masseffect2 @thekidnixon I would watch the EA E3press event for the best BioWare and games in general *PLUG shill PLUG* coverage. - Evil Chris
Now granted, that is also probably towing the company line, but if you want some ME2 news, make sure to watch the EA press conference.

I also think we should be paying attention to third party announcements, Microsoft has always put an emphasis on third party support.
The only reason I'm not holding my breathe over PD2 is that it isn't like Microsoft doesn't have an overabundance of shooters to work with. I never got the feeling that Rare was really into PDZ, mostly doing it to be the first fall tentpole shooter for Microsoft Games Studios. With ODST (which, granted, won't be MSGS), they don't really need that, and I'm expecting GoW3 next year, so...
Anyway, lots of explanation of how Fluid works. Bank on it.
Yeah all of them will show.
its really taken them this long to reveal footage of ODST? does anyone else feel that Bungie is full of themselves?
Yeah, Rare will announce Perfect Dark for XBLA and thats it lol

guys, you know. I do think MS's going to rape at this E3. It just feels that way.
I never once have really thought this about an E3. But for some reason, I guess the silence and knowledge that there's going to be at least 5 games announced already (lionhead, 2 rare, bigpark, forza 3) is getting to me.

And if Rare busted out a god damned BATTLETOADS game I would be so pumped. I really think there are legs in the brawler if you do some interesting stuff outside the basic gameplay. The Warriors was one of my favorite games on the last generation of consoles. Bring on Battletoads.
