And that this awards ceremony are:
- hosted in Japanese.
- meant as a celebration/congratulatory event for corporate publisher partners. It is streamed to the public, but the event is not held for the consumers.
- have an extremely low (practically zero) probability for announcements/game updates/new trailers of any kind.

Yeah, that should be two Platinum's and a Gold for them at a minimum. With User Prizes being likely for all three as well.
So this doesn't count sales from outside of Asia? Otherwise P5 and Nioh would have the Platinum awards easily.

To my understanding, it counts sales from Japan, Southeast Asia and Korea. China sales are not included in this jurisdiction.
IIRC there was a live English translation last year right? Since it also includes mainland Asia?
If that's the case again, I might just watch it to compare to Famitsu/Media Create numbers to see how well games are faring in mainland Asia. Seems to be a potential growth hot spot.

This is a Sony Japan Asia managed event, and public voting options related to this event are limited to the following countries: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
China is managed by Sony China, a separate division of business.

Too late. I also missed it. D:
From Sep-Oct they opened up voting for user choice awards.
There will be people watching. The orchestra that was added a few years ago really seemed to grab some people and they've been watching since.
No, but what you will get is hints toward future announcements during their post-show Q&A on the PS stream. This is what was said during Square's interview about Builders award last year

Is there any nomination list for this year? Something like best picture, best actor actresses, or anything like that?

DQXI is Double Platinum since they said that was one of the categories they're doing today, it's the only game that could have reached that.

I'm the only one who thinks the PlayStation Awards fanfare sounds pretty much like the Sega Saturn boot screen song?

platinum/gold awards are sales awards...so if those games reached the milestone needed for platinum, then yes...that game will receive a trophy.
It's not necessarily easy to predict all of the sales awards due to how well some games do in the rest of Asia, and we never really get sales details on those games until here. For example, last year The Witcher 3 surprised the hell out of everyone by winning a Gold Award.
