Back in business

We all know that the PlayStation 4 hasn’t been selling especially well in Japan of late, but Sony hinted that this year’s Tokyo Game Show would turn the tides – and it certainly seems that consumer enthusiasm has changed overseas, even if that may not necessarily result in increased hardware sales.

As is customary at the end of every Eastern event, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association has revealed the consumers’ top twelve most anticipated games – and at least eight of them are PlayStation exclusives, with a couple more multiformat releases, too. Not a bad result at all, huh?

Leading the charge are Bloodborne and, incredibly, The Order: 1886, both of which are exclusive to the PlayStation 4. They’ve been accompanied by the likes of God Eater 2: Rage Burst, Tales of Zestiria, and Yakuza Zero. PlayStation Vita exclusive Phantasy Star Nova also put in an appearance, as did The Evil Within and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

We’ve included the full list of winners in the space below, though it is worth mentioning that Nintendo doesn’t traditionally exhibit at TGS, so its titles are missing from the list; clearly, this lineup wouldn’t be quite so dominant if the Japanese company did. Still, we doubt that Sony will be complaining – it was a very good show for the firm.
