Microsoft Pulls Out

Major Nelson of Xbox mentions on his blog post that Microsoft will not be attending TGS (Tokyo Game Show) as well as Gamescom in Germany. This could be a sign that Microsoft has finally given up on its attempt at it's market in Japan as it is NOT doing well there. As for why Microsoft is not going to show up at Gamescom is still a mystery. IGN speculates the possibility of its little entanglement with Motorola.

Earlier in April, Nintendo announce that they will not be going to Gamescom and will focus more on the Wii U as well as holding their own events to showcase the Wii U and its titles.

With Nintendo and Microsoft pulling out from Gamescom, Sony will have the floor all the themselves.
