Wow... I guess Sofik went a day ahead, huh? When is Sony's pre-TGS conference? Ummm.... Next week minus 5 days divided by 2... What is today + 1 more day? That's so trivial... I guess Sony didn't have anything to show, other than Disgaea 3 Return, P4 Vita, and some other exclusives that are not really exclusives because Sofik said Sony doesn't have exclusives and that those games aren't successful in Japan and also that Sony is a failure in Japan, the place where it originated... Yup, Sofik is actually a time traveller, and his sidekick is his brother who knows everything Playstation.
Gee, what a surprise, Nintendo spent their press conference preceding the TOKYO Game Show appealing to their Japanese audience! How dare they not cater to Western consumers at a primarily Japanese event!
Seriously, what's with some of you guys? Whining because they aren't consistently appealing directly to you? Whether or not you personally are interested in playing it, Monster Hunter 4 is HUGE for the 3DS, particularly if it's exclusive (I wasn't clear on that point, was it even mentioned one way or the other). And what's good for Nintendo in Japan is good for everyone. If they can nail the Japanese marketplace the way they did with the DS, they have more room to build a 3DS library to rival the DS's. But anyone hoping for a bunch of announcements that directly affected them, remember, TGS isn't the Western market's event. That happened several months ago. This is mainly a Japanese thing and while, traditionally, you can expect to see a lot of what's debuted there to come over here at some point, it really is a completely different market and I doubt they're going to show off any big Western-targeted items here. It would have been nice to see some universally appealing stuff (I'm hoping for some classic Metroid or Castlevania or 2D Zelda in the pipeline), but given how slow of a release cycle the initial wave of titles have been getting, it's still too early for any big core announcements. Once Super Mario Land, Mario Kart, and Kid Icarus are out, I think we'll be hearing some good news. Just sit tight and try to keep an eye on the big picture.

For the people saying Nintendo has won Japan due to Monster Hunter, it isn't like Capcom is going to stop making Monster Hunter games for Sony.
@Baines,
they've been talking about switching platforms for awhile now. plus, i'm sorry, but Capcom not only announced MH3G exclusively for 3DS, but also MH4 exclusively for 3DS and they've just started development of this title.
there won't be any Monster Hunter game for Vita atleast several months after MH4 comes out, (IF) by the time it comes out, Vita won't be relevant in japan.

Does Nintendo NEED to win Europe or America?
The Vita's not getting a simultaneous release. Its performance in Japan will influence its release elsewhere.
We could be stuck with the 3DS, NoE's all-or-nothing policies, and NoA's insanity. And phone gaming.
