I get the feeling that E3 was their PSP-centric show, and GamesCom will be their ps3-centric show. New hardware will be shown at each show, along with big news on upcoming games. GT PSP was fully unveiled at E3. GT5 will probably get the spotlight at GamesCom. New features were shown for the PSP at E3 (comic store, video store), and new features will likely be shown for the ps3 at GamesCom (firmware 3.0, video store for Europe).

etc. etc.

Perhaps...but what does that leave for TGS?

TGS has never been a big show for Sony.  Last year they had a 30 minute press conference.  TGS has never really been that big for any of the big three.  Nintendo doesn't even bother showing up.

GamesCom was formed for the sole purpose of giving Europe an E3-caliber conference, and it seems Sony are going to exploit that, given the 3 hour long conference (probably only 2 hours minus drinks etc.) they have planned for the show.  GamesCom represents a big change this year for game conferences in Europe.  TGS will be the same it is every year.

Of course, I don't expect them to stay quiet at TGS.  We'll probably get a WKC2 reveal, and a release date from SE for FFXIII in Japan.  Plus anouncements of FFXIII and GT5 bundles.
