GamesCom 2010 sets the precedent for what other game conventions should be doing. (Take notice E3) In a event that spanned nearly five days, had public and press separated areas, and a large representation from nearly 49 countries, not to forget hands-on with AAA titles – this is definitely the crown jewel of the games industry. Let’s break down the numbers:
254,000 visitors (up from 245K in 2009), 18,900 were industry visitors, 4,400 media visitors from 49 countries, and 505 companies in attendance from 33 countries. In contrast, the only exposition that comes close is the Tokyo Game Show (at 185,030) and E3 (at 45,000 – industry only).
Maybe we should be attending next year eh?
