@HappySquirrel: Didn't Sony announce LittleBigPlanet at CES? I could be wrong...

You do get announcements at both GDC and CES but they're typically quite different than what you will see at E3 ...

As an example, Epic could demonstrate Gears of War 2 at GDC as a way of showing off enhancements and optimization of the Unreal 3 engine, Nintendo could demonstrate unconvention Wii games in a keynote on targeting new gamers, and Sony could demonstrate Killzone 2 in a discussion on designing your game to take advantage of the Cell processor ... They're (typically) announcements that are made to demonstrate their point, not (entirely) as a way to show off your future games.

 LittleBigPlanet was actually announced at GDC 2007. It was announced during Phil's keynote called "Game 3.0", at the same time Sony announced Home and SingStar (ps3)/SingStar Store.

 I hope both Sony and Nintendo to give us keynotes this year, they are great :)

FYI, last year MS booth was huge but most of it's area was allocated for "reserved" rooms :(

 

 You have to remember GDC isnt about annoucing games its about helping the devs design better games on your platform. CES on the other hand will be where M$ and Sony show off some games and tech but Sony will also show off their next lines of TVs and other electronics to the world. Nintendo doesnt got to CES (normally) btw so I wont include them.
