1. To see the new games
2. Because I was interested
3. For the free swag
4. I come every year
5. I was invited

PG Comment: Just like in America, the free swag is a major draw for gamers. At TGS 2007, the big prize was the limited edition NDS cart that Level 5 was giving away to those willing to wait in line for 3 to 4 hours.

2. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

10. Winning Eleven 2008 (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360)

PG Comment: Without Nintendo in attendance, this category was a pretty even battle between the PS3 and 360. The good news for Sony is that its struggling PS3 will likely see a nice boost in sales next year when MGS 4 is released.

1. Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
2. Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, Xbox 360)

10. Winning Eleven 2008 (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360)

PG Comment: With a strong line up that included Katamari Damashi, Ace Combat 6, Shin Sangoku Musou, Halo 3 and Devil May Cry 4, the Xbox 360 certainly caught the attention of a lot of Japanese gamers.

Which software maker are you most excited about?

1. Square Enix
2. Konami
3. Capcom
4. Level 5
5. Sony
6. Nintendo
7. Bandai Namco Games
8. Sega
9. Microsoft
10. Banpresto

PG Comment: Microsoft is certainly starting to earn the respect of the Japanese gamer. A couple of years ago no one ever would have picked Microsoft over the likes of Hudson, Atlus, SNK or Nippon Ichi.

Which software maker had the best booth at the Tokyo Game Show?

1. Square Enix
2. Konami
3. Capcom
4. Level 5
5. Sega
6. Enterbrain
7. Bandai Namco Games
8. Koei
9. Sony
10. Marvelous Entertainment

PG Comment: Surprisingly Microsoft, which had a very impressive booth, didn't make the list. Even though Sony had the largest booth at the show, their line up was pretty lackluster. TGS 2007 was all about Square Enix, Konami and Capcom.

Have you purchased or do you have plans to purchase the new slim PSP?

I have no plans to purchase the slim PSP - 49.4%

PS3 - 64.6%
Wii - 50.3%
