Tokyo Game Show 2013 opened yesterday at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. The video game expo, Asia’s largest, runs through Sunday. This is a record-breaking year for Tokyo Game Show, with 352 exhibitors from 33 countries in attendance.
From upcoming next-generation consoles to increasingly popular mobile games for smartphones and tablets, Tokyo Game Show exhibitors have something to show off for every platform. This year, there are 962 titles on display from both mainstream and independent developers.
Nintendo's Switch Reveal trailer is almost shot for shot remake of the "A Day With PlayStation" ad from Sony's Pre-TGS Press Conference 2013.

Don't say that, Nintendo only does unique things, they are the really pioneers in the video-game industry, just look at all the new IPs they made in the last decade... or 2 decades... wait. not the best example. /s off. I think the NX will sell around the same amount as the WiiU sold, when it was announced it was the holy grail to, the rabid Nintendo Fanatics are great hyping stuff, but they just aren't enough to make a console successful, I was hoping to jump to Nintendo with the NX, I was really thinking they would learn and go back to a more traditional Nintendo console, powerful and with some great new games on top of some Good Mario games, but I get no SNES or Nintendo 64 vibes with this NX, I get vibes of a WiiU 2.0 or PS4+Vita remote play....
Of course if your way behind the competition follow what the market leaders doing and if possible do it better, that's clearly what Switch is attempting the same interconnectivity Sony promised with the PS4 and Vita but having it truly be one platform.
Edge:September’s Tokyo Game Show offered the first chance for Japanese players to get their hands on next-gen hardware as well as a larger selection of mobile and social games than has ever filled the Makuhari Messe before. It was a show packed with evidence of handheld gaming usurping home consoles in the region, and of new niches opening up.
japan wasn't ready for this gen either. The industry over there is falling apart. Even sony is launching in the US first.
