The Tokyo Game Show this year was packed with flashy booths and exciting games. There was much more than could be taken in within just two days, especially with the over 180,000 people in attendance. The drawing on the left (reads 832 min. wait) is an exaggeration of some of the horrendous wait times. At times, the line for Dragon Quest VI actually took over 6 hours!

To gauge what fans found the most popular, this week Famitsu has printed the results of a survey they ran at Tokyo Game Show 2009. Around 1,500 people responded, indicating their favorites from this year's exhibition. Despite its small showing, would you believe that Final Fantasy XIV got itself into a couple Top 10s? Square Enix overall did pretty well for itself too, (with one exception later on) with Final Fantasy XIII helping it to rake in a number of accolades.

Check out the article!

What was #1 in Best Trial Game?

Hopefully I'm not the only man saying this but that Lightning PS3 is hot.

The article needs more コンパニオン pictures. :P

I saw that too when I was there. I don't think we're getting anything but the black PS3 in the states. Unless you cover it with skins. >< Why does Japan get all the cool stuff? Why can't we have nice things?!

Great... I was almost totally over 'getting-a-PS3' until I went saw the FFXIII trailer after noticing your article said there was a new one...

;_; Now I wants a Lightning PS3 so, so bad.

It would also make me have to choose between FFXIV on PC or PS3 if I actually got one. PS3 would have the advantage of being separate from the PC and guaranteed compatibility with the game, however I wouldn't enjoy FFXI as much without windower. I wonder if XIV will need anything windower-ish at all though.

Also if it's on PS3, I can use my PC at the same time without chugging a whole lot of RAM which might be an advantage as well. Gosh, decisions. I needa go find me a PS3 vs PC thread and post in it.
