The above pictures (click thumbnails) are floor plans of how E3 2006 will be set up this year. It shows approximately how much the companies will be showcasing this year, and for those attending the event, it shows where you should be rushing to so you can see your favourite company first thing in the morning.

The largest booths at the event seem to be Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft - the major hardware manufacturers. Microsoft will likely have a huge section dedicated to the Xbox 360 and a small portion for Windows games. Xbox will likely be a no-show. Sony will probably be giving equal treatment to the PS3, PS2, and PSP. Although it may try to take attention away from the PS3 if it's not ready yet. Nintendo has four systems to juggle with the Revolution, DS, GBA, and GCN. Don't expect much from the GCN at all except for Zelda and maybe the rumoured Kirby game. The GBA should also be relatively dead unless they announce a North American release for Mother 3. They will be focusing on the DS and Revolution for sure.

Although Nintendo's booth seems biggest, they have cut off part of their booth the past two years for special displays for key attractions like the Nintendo DS and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The lines for Twilight Princess last year looped around their entire booth and was approximately four hours long. Hopefully, they won't have those kinds of lines this year for the Revolution or Playstation 3, which everybody wants a crack at. Microsoft seems to be in the South Hall, separate from the West Hall console manufacturers.
