The ESA said that 45,700 industry professionals attended E3 and saw products from over 200 exhibitors. The crowds spent almost $40 million in Los Angeles over the course of the event, and stayed in an estimated 30,000 hotel rooms.
“E3 2012 focused and harnessed the passion, energy, and excitement for video games and propelled our industry into the global spotlight,” said ESA president and CEO Michael D. Gallagher. “Thanks to our members and exhibitors’ remarkable vision, billions of consumers watched and learned about our industry and this incredible intersection of creativity, technology, and content. We look forward to building on this great momentum for 2013.”
The dates and location for E3 2013 are currently up in the air, as the ESA mulls what to do about the planned renovation to the L.A. Convention Center.
