What do you think this says about the gaming industry in Japan? With Sony not doing too well in general over there, what projects do you think encouraged the highest number of visitors? Let us know in the comments!
Very interesting numbers. I wonder what percentage consisted of foreigners vs. Japanese citizens. It’s a shame that GAMElitist staff couldn’t be a part of that 223,753. Perhaps next year.
Here’s hoping!
