Which is essentially weird, because it was not like it was the best-kept secret of all time. Then again, it was probably because of all the hype that surrounded it generated by the numerous leaks and tips that made it the most talked about announcement of the year.

The announcement topped the list of newsmakers with 112 Reader votes, and 42 retailer votes. Following at a distant second in the survey is the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII‘s release date.
