Poor Ridge Racer.
Don't worry, the PS4 might get a port of Ridge Racer Driftopia.

All fingers are crossed. It's arguably the event I look forward to the most each year since E3's been a dud for a good long while.
I would say its more the power of the DS and PSP(and mobile to a if you want to include it) lead to the death of consoles in Japan. The consoles are good but handhelds just appeal to the Japanese a lot more.
The PS4 also doesn't have a new media format to push it like the PS2 and PS3 did.
If Nintendo were having an actual conference on the 13th we'd know by now. We knew on August 31st in 2011:

Pretty sure NoA announced the one last year by now as well. That's the thing about an actual press conference, you have to invite the press.

If it's a Direct like last year, there's no need for that, no?
Friday the 13th :O

I don't see how the Wii had a big impact on PS3 sales and I feel like the software sales really says it all. While Nintendo games and a few big IPs were on the Wii, pretty much all third-parties were on the PS3. Only (large) notable IP not on the PS3 is Dragon Quest. Arguably that would move hardware, but yea, I don't think the Wii had a big impact on PS3 sales.
Well it seems to be "proportionate" to the userbase. Nearly 4x the userbase with 4x the software sales.
So the question is how many download cards are available?

If it's a Direct I wonder what kind of announcements we'll get out of it. Last year was weird, since NoA had a conference even though NCL and NoE didn't.
Edit: Ah, here we are:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=41258718
We found out about NoA's event on August 21st. I'm pretty confident that if there was anything major coming on the 13th we'd know by now.
We knew about the Fall 2012 Wii U conference on Aug 21st for NA.

We knew there was a Nintendo Direct for EU only on Sept 11th.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=490828
Can't find when Japan's Direct was found out.
I see no reason why this would be an actual conference style event.

Actually it says they were for launches, so that's likely why we might get a Direct for all and no PRESS conference.

If we didn't get a release window for FF XV this TGS, is it safe to assume that it won't be out by next year?
I'm talking about the release window here btw, not the release date.

I always thought FFXV will be a fall 2014 title. Also NB usually supports launches of playstation pretty well but we haven't heard anything from them lately.
PS4 needs to be successful if Japan is to have a healthy console ecosystem. but for that to happen there has to be compelling games targeting the local audience. Who is left that has the talent, money, and balls to put great content on an unproven system? Pretty much just Sony. I sincerely hope they have something compelling to show tomorrow or we could be seeing the beginning of the end of the big time Japanese console game.

I thought it was just a joke..
I don't know, if the PS4 can't support retail games for small 3rd parties, I think some of the blowback is that they finally go digital and start making small indie-like titles in addition to games on handhelds and mobile.
We might be looking at a market where there's 20-30 big budget(not just AAA, but games with fairly large budgets) games released each year, and a bunch of smaller AA titles that sell for $15-20 on the PSN store, or eShop.
Someone needs to make an OT for the ++ version lol.

Yes, but I don't suppose many people were expecting those sort of announcements for the 3DS prior to the event.
While I don't know, short of Persona 5, what sort of surprise announcements Nintendo could pull for the either system, the 3DS's line-up, especially it's first party line-up, is pretty barren going into 2014. There have to be announcements at some point.
That said, the last simultaneous, international Direct was August 8th (Darumeshi Sports Store FTW), so I wouldn't be surprised to see another Direct like that to wait until October, as they tend to be ~2 months apart, to hit home the end of the year line up and provide a glimpse into 2014.
Looking it over..
http://www.ss-alpha.co.jp/products/moegd_ps3/system.html
this game actually looks like it could be pretty good. It has a plot that might be worthy; certainly better than standard FPS schlock. On limited info, combat might be good, and leveling elements might be good. And, ahem, it's the type of game where it is good idea to upgrade graphics beyond PSP level. It's too bad it will never get a fair review.
It's even all turn-based except for some minigames - Japan is too good for this world.

I think it will do fairly well, at least by the end of next year. At least much better than the WiiU.
Since it was in with the Call of Duties, for a second I honestly believed this might exist.
Too good to be true. ;_;
I would import that day one.

they really must have nothing for ps4 if their giving knack this kind of push
Watching the Lineup reel - most of the games are from western developers and/or also on PS3. They have to include far-off stuff like KH3 to have at least some japanese games.

So they are bringing Soul Sacrifice for March 2015 if i see it right. Guess they didn't get the memo that Vita will be discontinued by then as some people predicted here

Kingdom Hearts 3 would have been there regardless how many or few games that would have shown though.

Indeed Vita is not being discontinued by 2015, it is being transformed into a home console!

I'm pretty sure you actually need a Vita for you to play Vita games on the TV.
Well that went a lot better than I expected overall.
I'd post more intelligent thoughts, but it's 3 AM and I have to wake up in 4 hours.
No this is a set top box with the Vita's processor inside. You don't need a Vita. It's like the Ouya or upcoming Amazon and Google consoles.

Oops, got fed poor info at a glance. Sorry.
But yeah, they just put a cap in Vita hardware for the sake of the software.

Looks like ps4 software lineup just got a big boost
In the video they put the Vita game into the device, pick up a PS3 controller and just start playing so I don't see where the Vita fits into that. There's also the bundle that comes with vita memory which implies that goes into the device as well.
