E3 2014: Over 48,900 Attendees This Year

Though the number of exhibitors this year was less

E3 2014 was a rousing success with 48,900 attendees this year compared to 48,200 attendees last year. As reported by Polygon, there were less exhibitors this year with over 200 this year as compared to over 230 in 2013.

ESA president Michael Gallagher stated that, “The video game industry’s explosive growth and technological innovation were front and center at E3 2014.

“Video games are the most innovative and engaging force driving our culture and entertainment experiences the world over. Congratulations to our incredibly creative members, partners, exhibitors, and the hundreds of millions of gamers who engaged with the show online and through social media.”

This year was a rousing success for just about every company in attendance (that wasn’t associated with EA, that is). Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and Ubisoft revealed a ton of releases for this year and it seems that E3 2015 is scheduled for June 16th to 18th. We’re looking forward to it but look for more information on this year’s releases.
