E3 2009 was a hit and show dates for next year announced |
Back in 2007, I went to E3 for the first time and it was a horrible show. I could have seen more new video games standing in the Best Buy game isle than were on display that year. Thankfully, E3 went back to the much larger format for 2009 that it used years ago and it seems the show was a success again.
According to the Entertainment Software Association, the group that puts on the E3 Expo each year, 2009 was a success. The show had over 41,000 attendees from 78 different countries and had 216 exhibitors. The best news was that the booth babes were back at the show this year.
The ESA also announced the dates for next year’s E3, which will run later in June from the 15 to the 17 of 2010. Maybe I will get to go next year and check out what a real E3 is all about. “The E3 Expo has returned as the premiere annual destination for the global games industry,” said Graham Hopper, executive vice president and general manager, Disney Interactive Studios. “The excitement the show generates and the ability for us to showcase our portfolio to a worldwide media, retail, and consumer audience is an important business driver.”
