With this year's Tokyo Game Show all wrapped up, it is only natural for the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA), the organizer of the event, to announce the date for the next TGS, as well as highlight the numbers of this year's show. Gamers willing to fly to Japan for the next TGS can start booking flights and organizing overseas plans, as the 2012 show will be held from September 20 through September 23 next year.
Thanks for the memories, TGS robot lady. See you again next year! September 15-18 this year, however, TGS 2011 garnered an attendance number of 222,668 people, according to CESA. For comparison's sake, TGS 2009 and 2010 saw the respective attendance numbers of 185,030 and 207,647. The first public day of the show (September 17) this year had an attendance of 86,251 people; this beats the previous record of 81,469 people at last year's show on the first public day.
Below is the breakdown of the attendance total:
September 15 - 25,631
September 16 - 27,042
September 17 - 86,251
September 18 - 83,744
