TGS, Sony's 'Unannounced Games' and Common Sense
Internet says yes, common sense has other ideas...
Reports are rife that Sony will announce a total of 14 new titles at the Tokyo Game Show, including a whopping 11 for the PlayStation 3.
Of the 11 PS3 games reportedly set for an announcement, nine are supposedly from Sony Computer Entertainment, one from Konami and one from Japanese publisher Irem. All three PSP titles will be from Sony.
SPOnG, frankly, is dubious. Sony Japan's announced list of playable games for TGS carries the words, "More unreleased title (sic)", before listing the publishers. Presumably that's a bit of a mistranslation, but it seems unlikely that a perfect translation would read - 'More unreleased, brand-spanking new, never-before-seen titles'. It seems more likely that the titles in question are, 'Unannounced for TGS'.
14 titles is rather a lot, innit? Announcing 14 titles at once seems like a good way to get a good few of them lost in the madness of TGS. Should Sony have such an epic number of announcements planned, it seems likely that many of them will be PSN titles.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, for its part, was unable to comment at the time of publication.
You can see the announcement with your own two eyes here.

And we said, "Should Sony have such an epic number of announcements planned, it seems likely that many of them will be PSN titles."
As far as I am aware, "many of them" does not mean all of them - and most especially not the ones that have been announced in Famitsu. Mainly because, well, if they have been announced, they can't be 'unannounced'.
I don't mind it when we're picked up on errors in fact or fuzzy logic, but in this case we were simply trying to clarify things - hence our call to Sony.

Good analysis Tim. I expect : five or six titles for bluray disc and three for PSN or four.

Sony will show 6 Titles on Blu-Ray Disc and the last three for Playstation Network for TGS 08.
The installed base is incremented this year so it's important to realase more titles to next year for sales.
Waiting for TGS.
