there you go, i've removed the remakes and remasters they don't really count as "This gen" and if you are adding PC games then you might want to add SOE games as well.

i also added some PSP games you missed (i think i missed more)

SOE =/= SCEWWS.  They both operate independently, though SCE is supposedly going to publish the PS3 versions of SOE's games now.  This is quite different from MGS though, who has PC and 360 teams working under the same structural division.

Also, Patapon 3 already released (in Europe) and Eyepet PSP is contracted out to Playlogic for development.  Neither is applicable then.

I'd also take issue with taking out the 3DS remakes, as both are looking to be fairly substantial overhauls and filled with ground up new content.  I mean technically, Star Fox 64 itself was a remake too originally, but it added and changed so much from Star Fox it's generally considered an original game.  I tend to think SF3D will probably change up quite a bit itself... besides, if you wanted to add the PSP downconversion of Eyepet, I can't see much problem with the 3DSmakes.
