Figures from show organiser CESA indicate that total attendance on TGS’ two business days and two public days last week was 185,030, down from 194,288 last year and 193,040 in 2007.
The business days, however, proved slightly busier than last year, with 52,040 attending in total compared to 51,483. Attendance at 2007’s business days was rather higher at 62,173.
Capcom’s Keiji Inafune has been reported as unimpressed by Tokyo Game Show this year, having been translated saying during a Dead Rising 2 hands-on event, "Personally when I looked around [at] all the different games at the TGS floor I said 'Man, Japan is over. We're done. Our game industry is finished.'"
