Sony is throwing a lot of love at the PSP this year and beyond. During its E3 press conference, Sony revealed a slew of upcoming hit franchises coming to the PSP, including Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, LittleBigPlanet, Resident Evil, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Gran Turismo, Assassin’s Creed: Blood Lines, and Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

Several of the new PSP titles will support PS3 integration in some form, but details are few and far between at this point. No word yet on confirmed release dates either, so stay tuned. And be sure to check back throughout the week for hands-on impressions of all the PSP titles from the E3 '09 show floor.

Sony dropped a bit of a bomb at its E3 press conference by revealing Final Fantasy XIV Online. Perhaps even bigger for Sony fans is that the game will be a Sony exclusive, and will be released in 2010. Given that FF XIII is expected early next year, this announcement is easily one of the most surprising of E3 so far. Well done, Sony.

Update: Well...maybe not totally exclusive. According to Square Enix's press release, Final Fantasy XIV Online will also be available on PC. So it's a Sony console exclusive, anyway. Check out the game's official site. There's not a whole lot of information there, but there is confirmation that the "Online" designation at the end of the title indeed suggests an MMO. That's right, folks, another Final Fantasy MMO will be yours to behold in 2010.

In order to provide gamers with a "gaming experience closer to real life than anything we've seen," Sony has unveiled a motion-sensing control system for the PlayStation 3. The thing combines the PlayStation EyeToy camera with a controller and allows one-to-one tracking as well as allowing scanning of objects in a game. Seems to me like a cross between Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus and Microsoft's webcam motion controller.

Sony showed off a number of tech demos, including a sword-fighting game, tennis, a painting game, archery, a real-time strategy title and a first-person shooter. The system will be available in Spring 2010.

Wait, I thought the PS3 already had motion-sensing controllers...

At the company's E3 press event today, Nintendo revealed a new WarioWare game. WarioWare DIY is a touch screen and camera mini-game collection for the DS.

The game's big innovation: WarioWare DIY allows players to create their own mini-games for the system, and then share them using the DSi's online capabilities. WarioWare DIY allows customized characters, environments, actions and goals to be added to mini-games.

I'm terrified of the games you will create.. but, if you have any fantastic ideas, leave them in our comment section below.

While it isn’t necessarily the kind of earth-shaking news you'd expect/want from an E3 press conference, it’s certainly good to know that Nintendo plans to bring several new RPGs to Wii and DS by the end of the year and beyond.

For the DS, players can expect Kingdom Hearts (Sept. 29), Mario and Luigi RPG 3: Bowser’s Inside Story (Fall 2009), and Golden Sun (2010). Square Enix’s Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers, which has been out for a couple years in Japan, will be hitting the Wii sometime by the end of 2009.

Many of these titles will be available on display on the show floor, so stay tuned for hands-on impressions over the next few days.
