What's frightening is that there were no new games from third parties for any home console announced. And the biggest loser here is the Wii without a doubt, it has almost no more games coming out after this year ends.
All we know about is RE:DSC and Sengoku Basara 3. NMH2 and Trauma Team are also coming, but they are small games in Japan. After that there's nothing else coming out I think, besides DQX which comes out in 2012 or around there.
The HD systems (especially the PS3) are still getting some big/semi-big 3rd party games next year or after in Japan, like Resonance of Fate, FFvsXIII, Yakuza 4, Lost Planet 2, RE5 w/motion controls, Dead Rising 2, Star Ocean 4 International, Sengoku Basara 3, Super Street Fighter 4, Final Fantasy XIV, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Nier, Front Mission Evolved, Dinasty Warriors Troy, Dinasty Warriors Online, Bayonetta, Front Mission Evolved, BlazBlue: Continuum, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Quantum Theory, Trinitiy: Souls of Zill O'll, and probably more I don't know about.
Price cut won't have any effect on the Wii after these Holidays if it undergoes another long drought like the ones from this and last year. And considering that most of the upcoming games are always announced or shown at TGS, I can easily see Wii going through a huge drought once again in Japan.
I always wonder why 3rd parties decided to ignore the Wii with so much conviction.
And Nintendo is NOT having a fall conference of their own this year.
