    • Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (Capcom) for the PSP

Sony will have an other conference. Kutaragi's address would come nearly one week after Nintendo's tri-continental Wii press conferences in october. I think Kent is waiting for Microsoft and nintendo to do there speech. It will be there that sony will said what is the mistery launch title and what the online will be.

PS3 will stand up proud, after all those bad news!

I'm surprised the new Castlevania game didnt make the list, when some lesser known games did...

Well fanboys read these factors; first of all the 360 is not what you call loved by the Japanese so you shouldnt expect people to love on it so much and second, nintendo didnt go to TGS and they only had third party games on there (and they still bloody made the top of the list and that still says something) ans o with all these factors what would you bloody expect. And i aint no Wii60 fanboy (if you were thinking that at any point in time).

The MGS: PO won but MGS4 didn't. But yeah, I'm glad the Japanese are taking interest in MS's Blue Dragon and Lost Odyessy.

I don't think MGS4 was nominated because it wasn't playable. It's a pretty good list and I'm looking foward to most of the games on the list.

wow, sony got the TGS alone!!!!

ps3 will rock, ps2 rocked too much for my budget :'(
and psp ... well, kinda sucked ( to me ) BUT devhook saved the day ( for me ) so I'm playing it a lot. For the ps2, I'm playing too much... now that Okami and Samurai Warriors 2 are in my home, lol. ( samurai 2 is WAY better than any dynasty/samurai warriors game ever!!!!!!!!!! and okami beat the crap out of zelda!! ohh yeah! just waiting for the 26 sept. not because it's my birthday ( what a plug, now give me some gift! lol ) but because of just cause ( rent it 1st I suppose ) and valkyrie profile 2 - silmeria! man the ps2 rock toooo much! lol. I'll also need some money for my ps3.. in early 2k7!!

bravo sony!

I'm surprised Nintendo actually won 2 awards because they don't actually go to TGS! Looks like Sony would have been owned if the full Wii line up had been there!

 » no

No, you mean Microsoft would have been owned. Scratch those two 360 games off and add Zelda and that samus game.

   by Emperor Z (Unregistered) - 2006-09-25
 » Not bad for not even being there

Two awards for Nintendo isn't half bad considering they don't go to TGS. I think there were only like 5 Wii games there.
