TGS 08: Public attendance up, business visitors way down


Tokyo Game Show organizer CESA announced (via IGN) that the show had 194,288 visitors this year, up about a thousand attendees from last year. The increase in visitors on the public days made up for the significant drop during the two "business only" days of the show.
  • Thursday (Business): 27,305 ('07 - 29,783)
  • Friday (Business): 24,178 ('07 - 32,390)
  • Saturday (Public): 71,639 ('07 - 64,795)
  • Sunday (Public): 71,166 ('07 - 66,072)
Good thing TGS is open to the public because those figures really help distract from asking: where have all the business folks gone?
