2009 had its fair share of crazy controversies, but which among them all topped the list as the best newsmaker? Famitsu handed out a survey, and the result was that the PS3 Slim announcement was the biggest news of them all.

 

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.

 

Check out what else made the cut below:

 

1. New model of PlayStation 3 announced. (112 Reader Votes / 42 Retailer Votes)
2. Final Fantasy XIII release date announced. (65 / 21)
3. Dragon Quest IX sold more than 2 million copies in two days. (49 / 20)
4. Nintendo DSi LL goes on sale. (40 / 9)
5. PSPgo announced. (32 / 14)
6. Nintendo sues R4 makers and sellers. (27 / 13)
