Largest Ever Tokyo Game Show Detailed
The unveiling of the TGS 2007 line-up demonstrates that this year’s show will be the biggest in the event’s history. Tokyo Game Show 2007, which will focus on connected networks, will boast a total of 168 exhibitors occupying 1,708 booths, surpassing the size of last year's record event. While Nintendo appears to have opted not to make an appearance at the show, Sony and Microsoft will be in attendance, as will major publishers such as Sega, Capcom, Square Enix, Konami, Namco Bandai and Tecmo. The four day event is expected to draw close to 200,000 people to Chiba City’s Makuhari Messe over September 20–23. While the first two days are dedicated to professionals, the second half of the event will be open to the public. Traditionally the show has run over three days but event organizers CESA decided to add an extra day for trade and press delegates to the 2007 event, most likely due to the scaled-down nature of this year’s E3 Media and Business Summit. Sony Computer Entertainment president Kaz Hirai will deliver the keynote at this year’s event. More TGS details can be found at the official website.Source: http://www.next-gen.biz/
