This is pretty much how TGS goes *shrugs*. People always seems to expect something more akin to a US games convention.
Seriously. Nothing ever big comes out of these TGS conferences from Sony or at least nothing like E3. SCEJ has always been the more business end of the company when it comes to presentations. I mean 4 years ago the biggest surprise they had in one of them was a price drop and the dual shock 3 and next to no games (Those were announced by other developers and shown on the floor later). I'm more surprised so many of you all were expecting the 'megatons' when the previous presentations were almost just as boring as this one.
The only thing this conference was supposed to be was about the future of Sony Gaming products and they had a lot of features of the VITA system besides gaming they wanted to officially announce to the masses or show off. The stuff that was announced before this conference is still happening, Monster Hunter 3 is still coming to the VITA (It was showed in one of the few montages they had for god sake). This was a business conference, unfortunately for the people that came in expecting E3, you got sorely disappointed, maybe next time you won't stay up so late for a pre-tgs keynote from Sony.
Also for those wondering about why Nintendo broke the mold... they don't officially participate in TGS, it was there big chance leading up to TGS to show off any of their first party product and it normally doesn't happen so its a fluke year.
