- TGS stuff happens tonight. Nintendo's at 11pm EST, Sony's at midnight. I'm sure there will be topics abound. Nintendo should be talking up that 3DS frankenstick and probably a new Pokemon game of some sort. Sony will probably be talking Vita release dates and some new games. I would guess they would be third party games + some new info on preexisting games. Maybe some ports.
- This weekend the NYT had an article talking about how video game companies get the biggest tax breaks in the US. They had some weird biased angle that was dumb but I thought the point was kind of interesting. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/technology/rich-tax-breaks-bolster-video-game-makers.html?pagewanted=all
- A Tales game came out in Japan last week which means it's time to announce the new one. If I had to guess, I'd say it's on Vita and is a spinoff. http://www.siliconera.com/2011/09/12/theres-already-another-tales-game/
- THEATRHYTHM
- here's some NPD numbers about game sales. 2011 is on pace to be the worst year since 2006. Of course, this is all talking about physical retail which means it's full of crap.
