The showing of TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008

TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008 was finished on October 12. I heard that the number of visitors to this event was the highest ever.

I will show you the data of visitors and some videos that I shot.

Compare to TOKYO GAME SHOW 2007, the number of visitor is declining on business days.
But, the number of visitor is increasing on public open days. I think that a lot of people who likes video game went to the event for playing the intersting games(e.g. Monster Hunter Wii, Bio Hazard 5, Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4).

And, I saw many foreigners in this event. I think that the foreigners who like video game become more interested in this event because E3 was scaled down.

I I shot the video showing TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008 from upstairs.


I walked from the entrance to a half of the floor.


There were many cosplayers and people who take pictures of the cosplayers.
