Tokyo Game Show is a tremendous event, roughly more than twice the size of the old booth babe laden E3. With such a massive amount of people in attendance, it would seem like the ideal venue for the big three to speak to their audiences, but according to a recent report from Gamekyo, the only company holding a press conference at TGS is Microsoft -- Sony won't be holding one, and Nintendo didn't even bother to show up.
Seems odd to say the least, but as TGS is late in the year, perhaps most of the major announcements and plans for the holidays have already been made public. At least Sony is having a cocktail party, which our TGS team will hopefully see lots of games and get ridiculously intoxicated at.

lol.
Yeah plus does everyone have a short memory here? Nintendo just had they're own big event last week so did anyone honestly think that Nintendo would be attending TGS this week?
I don't know why Sony wouldn't be having a press conference at TGS though. What are they going to be waiting till GDC next March? Which is the next big industry event!
NO SOUP 4 U.
Oh well, can't helped. Congrats to Microsoft for winning this one, by default, as far as press conferences go.
And showing off the DSi doesn't justify a big event...there wasn't really anything new at the press conference I didn't know about, except the new DSi, which looks awful.
