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.

Quote from Famitsu.com

TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008		TOKYO GAME SHOW 2007
Date	Number of visitors	Date	Number of visitors
10/09/2008 Business day	27,305	09/20/2007 Business day	29,783
10/10/2008 Business day	24,178	09/21/2007 Business day	32,390
10/11/2008 Open to the public	71,639	09/22/2007 Open to the public	64,795
10/12/2008 Open to the public	71,166	09/23/2007 Open to the public	66,072
Total	194,288	Total	193,040

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.
