    "So what?
    Take a look at the list of “Future Section” of this year's Japan Game Awards
    http://awards.cesa.or.jp/press_081012.html
    (among total of 879 titles shown in Tokyo Game Show 2008, voted by the attendees of the first 3 days and the committee of the Japan Game Awards)

    12 titles were awarded
    PS3: 3
    Wii: 3
    PSP: 2
    DS: 2
    Xbox360: 1
    PS3/Xbox360: 1

    You can have 50% of shovelwares on display for certain consoles/handheld, but what do they contribute to the gaming industry? Nothing."

    And simply put, it is the truth.

    Dugg for interesting info about genres.
